sb <br /> 9.0 Emergency Response Procedures <br /> 9.1 General <br /> The purpose of this section is to provide for the establishment of emergency response <br /> procedures for all personnel on-site. The objectives of all emergency response procedures <br /> referred to in this section are to protect the health and safety of personnel working at the site. <br /> The HSP is designed to take all reasonable precautions to avoid any emergency situation and <br /> ensure a continuous workflow. <br /> 9.2 Reporting ReQuirements <br /> Emergency response procedures will be initiated in the following situations: <br /> 11 Fire on site; <br /> 2] Natural disaster; <br /> 3] Air emissions, which are immediately dangerous to life and health [IDLH]; and <br /> 41 On-site accident or equipment failure, that poses immediate danger. <br /> 9.3 Contingency Procedures <br /> In the event of an emergency, site personnel will signal distress with three blasts of a horn (a <br /> vehicle horn will be sufficient), or other predetermined signal. Communication signals, such as <br /> hand signals, must be established where communication equipment is not feasible or in areas of <br /> loud noise. <br /> It is the SSO's duty to evaluate the seriousness of the situation and to notify appropriate <br /> authorities. Nearby telephone access must be identified and available to communicate with <br /> local authorities. <br /> If an exposure or injury occurs, work will be temporarily halted until an assessment can be made <br /> of whether it is safe to continue work. The SSO, in consultation with the Project Industrial <br /> Hygienist will make the decision regarding the safety of continuing work. The SSO will conduct <br /> an investigation to determine the cause of the incident and steps to be taken to prevent <br /> recurrence. <br /> In the event of an injury, the extent and nature of the victim's injuries will be assessed and first <br /> aid will be rendered as appropriate. If necessary, the individual may be transported to the <br /> nearby medical center. The mode of transportation and the eventual destination will be based <br /> on the nature and extent of the injury. <br /> Sb Environmental Services,LLC D October,2003 California Integrated Waste Management Board <br /> Site Specific Health and Safety Plan Page 52 of 62 Tracy Tire Fire Remediation Project <br />
