OIL DISCHARGE RESPONSE PLAN <br /> Employee Responsibility <br /> 1. Employees must assess the hazards of the spill. Once the hazards are evaluated, <br /> Martin-Brower personnel will immediately call the Emergency Spill Coordinator <br /> (ESC) identified in the Spill Notification List (Table 2,Page 17). The information <br /> provided at the time of the spill will allow the ESC to contact the appropriate <br /> response personnel if necessary. Be prepared to provide the following information: <br /> • Material spilled; <br /> • Estimated amount; <br /> • Location of spill; <br /> • Injuries; <br /> • Proximity to drains; and <br /> • Action currently taken or underway. <br /> 2. Trained personnel must make every effort to safely prevent the spill from reaching <br /> waterways. Locate the nearest supply of absorbent booms,or other materials,to <br /> isolate and contain the spilled material. <br /> 3. Locate the source of the spill. <br /> 4. Limit the spill,if safely possible,by closing discharge valves, shutting off power <br /> supplies to pumps (after checking flammable limits), or diverting the discharge to a <br /> contained location. <br /> 5. Determine approximate size of spill in gallons and direction of flow. <br /> Emergency Spill Coordinator Responsibilities <br /> The ESC will direct the start of containment procedures to prevent material from <br /> reaching the facility drains using the following actions or any other means necessary <br /> without compromising worker safety. The ESC will direct facility or spill contractor <br /> personnel to: <br /> 1. Stop the spill at once. <br /> 2. Identify the spilled material as soon as possible so the appropriate cleanup <br /> procedure can be determined. <br /> 3. Eliminate all sources of ignition (flames, sparks,hot surfaces,cigarettes,etc.) when <br /> flammable or hazardous chemicals are involved. <br />
