Personnel should remove themselves from the hazard or suspected hazard area. 2) Contact Supervisor and/or Safety Officer Personnel should immediately inform their supervisor regarding the situation. Personnel will be given proper direction on how to proceed. Many accidents can be avoided by simply removing personnel from the hazard and maintaining good communication. Employee Injury In the event that an employee is injured in the field due to physical or chemical hazards, the following course of action should be taken: 1) Initiate first-aid procedures using universal precaution techniques and arrange for prompt medical attention for the employee. If possible, remove or evacuate all personnel from the area of immediate hazard. 2) If the injury is severe, call emergency services (contact telephone numbers Table B-1). 3) Promptly notify Client Emergency Response (see Table C-1).

All fire extinguishers must be inspected and certified annually so that they are in proper working condition for possible emergency situations. Projects must maintain a fire extinguisher at the site throughout site activities. 2) If the fire is beyond control or there is a potential for explosion, all personnel should immediately evacuate the site.
