EMERGENCY INFORMATION <br /> In the event of an injury or suspected chemical exposure, the first <br /> responsibility of the Project Manager will be to prevent any further <br /> injury. This objective will normally require an immediate stop to work <br /> until the situation is remedied. The Project Manager may order the <br /> evacuation of the work party. Other primary responsibilities in the <br /> event of an accident will be the first aid and decontamination of the <br /> injured team member(s). The injured party will be moved to a <br /> designated safe area and initial first aid will be rendered. <br /> Employees are asked to make every effort and take personnel <br /> responsibility to prevent accidents involving machinery or any other <br /> aspect of the job, either by individual action or by notifying the Project <br /> Manager immediately of any unsafe condition that may exist. <br /> In the event of an unexpected hazardous material discovery on site, the <br /> following actions will be taken by any employee involved; <br /> 1 . The person having uncovered the unexpected material will notify <br /> the Project Manager and other workers of the danger. The site will be <br /> cleared of personnel if deemed necessary by the Project Manager. If <br /> site evacuation is required, appropriate local agencies such as the Fire <br /> Department or Health Department will be notified as well. <br /> 2. Immediate action will be taken to contain the hazardous material, <br /> provided the workers involved are properly attired with adequate <br /> protective clothing to avoid exposure. <br /> 3. Proper containment procedures will be determined for the <br /> hazardous material encountered prior to cleanup commencing. All <br /> personnel involved in the containment effort will be properly protected <br /> to prevent exposure. Backup personnel will be similarly protected <br /> while monitoring the work being done for any additional dangers. <br /> 4. The container(s) will be staged on site, away from the major activity <br /> areas and in such a way that if loss of containment occurs, the material <br /> will be withheld from further spread by a secondary containment berm <br /> or vessel. <br /> 5. The owner or agent controller of the property will be notified <br /> promptly of the incident and will be apprised as to the options available <br /> for proper disposal. <br /> Tracy Health & Safety Plan - June 1998 <br /> -8- <br />
