Standby or direct someone to meet the Fire Department to direct them to the <br />incident <br />If the WAA Operator is incapacitated, any cognizant individual at the WAA shall take the <br />actions previously outlined in items 1 through 9 until the arrival of the Incident <br />Commander. <br />4. 2.2 Earthquakes <br />Major earthquakes fall in the category of a large incident as defined in Section 1.2. If <br />you are inside a WAA when an earthquake occurs, duck and cover. Avoid containers <br />holding waste. After the shaking has stopped, proceed in an orderly manner to the <br />designated assembly point for your area unless directed otherwise. If you are outside <br />when an earthquake occurs, proceed to the designated Assembly Point. The Assembly <br />Point Leader will coordinate an accounting of personnel and provide instructions. If you <br />are leaving a building, be alert for persons who may be trapped or injured, fire, chemical <br />spills, or structural damage. Report such information to the Assembly Point Leader. Do <br />not re-enter a building until it has been cleared for re-entry by a member of the <br />Emergency Facilities Engineering Support Team. <br />4.2.3 Power Outages <br />The normal operating hours of the WAA(s) are from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday <br />through Thursday. Normal waste management operations in the WAA(s) do not require <br />power, and, therefore, power outages will not have a significant impact on their <br />operation. However, if emergency lighting is needed for any reason, portable <br />generators and floodlights are available from Maintenance & Utilities Services <br />Department (the generators are not explosion -proof and must not be used near <br />flammable or combustible vapors). <br />4.2.4 Waste Release within the WAA <br />If a container holding waste spills, leaks, or otherwise releases its contents to the <br />environment, and there is no immediate threat to personnel safety, trained personnel <br />must take immediate action to contain the release. Follow spill response procedures <br />outlined in Sections 4.2.4.1 and 4.2.4.2. <br />4.2.4.1 Procedures to Stop and Contain Waste in the Event of a Small Incident <br />When visual monitoring indicates that a release has occurred, trained personnel shall <br />take the following steps: <br />1. Stop waste container handling operations. <br />2. Determine the source, type, and amount of leaking material. <br />3. If safe, eliminate the source of the release (e.g., stop leak, set container upright, <br />or close valves). <br />S300 WAA Contingency Plan 14 September 2018 <br />
