I-3.4.3 Fire Extinguishers At least two fire extinguishers (minimum rating 2A:IOBC) are provided and maintained for immediate use by CSA personnel to extinguish small fires. I-3.4.4 Safety and Decontamination Equipment Personal protective equipment for emergency response is maintained in the spill kit, as described above. An emergency eyewash and shower station is located in the CSA (shown in Figure I-3-2). I-3.4.5 Communication Equipment One telephone is located at the CSA Facility. Figure I-3-2 shows the location of the telephone. During emergencies, this phone can be used to notify the Site 300 Fire Department or Site Management, to request resources and assistance, or to initiate evacuation procedures. Facility operations personnel wear radio pagers. During an emergency, they can be paged as a group with a "Group 7" on their pagers along with the telephone number to call for instructions. I-3.5 EVACUATION OF THE CSA The CSA Facility Representative or alternate, senior Fire Officer, IC, or Site 300 Manager or designated alternate can order the evacuation of the building and adjacent area if, in their judgment, a hazard or potential hazard exists. In general, telephone or radio announcements or directions by the person in charge will be issued. The Site 300 Emergency Self-help and Facility -Level Emergency Plan is followed during the evacuation. Personnel assemble at predetermined evacuation assembly points, making sure they are upwind or in a safe zone. Figure I-3-3 shows the plan of the CSA with the designated assembly point. Individual discretion is used if it appears that evacuating the building would increase the potential for injury. I-3.6 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES The provisions of this Contingency Plan are to be carried out immediately whenever there is a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous waste constituents that could threaten human health, the environment, or property. Facility personnel implement the following procedures: The Facility Representative contacts the Fire Department IC immediately by dialing extension 911. • If the Facility Representative is not immediately available, and if the individual who discovered the incident determines that the assistance of the Fire Department IC is required, that individual reports the situation by dialing extension 911. The caller stays on the line to describe the location and the extent of the incident. • Facility personnel assist the Fire Department IC by providing information to identify the character, exact source, and amount of hazardous waste involved in a CSA emergency incident.
