EMERGENCY PROCEDURES <br />The SHSO (or alternate) should be immediately notified via the on-site communication system. The SHSO <br />assumes control of the emergency response. <br />The SHSO notifies the Project Manager and client contact of the emergency. <br />If the emergency involves an injury to an AMEC employee, the HSE Coordinator or Field Lead are to <br />implement the AMEC Early Injury Case Management program. See procedures and Flow Diagram below: <br />If applicable, the SHSO shall notify off-site emergency responders (e.g. fire department, hospital, police <br />department, etc.) and shall inform the response team as to the nature and location of the emergency on-site. <br />If applicable, the SHSO evacuates the site. Site workers should move to the predetermined evacuation point <br />(See Site Map). <br />For small fires, flames should be extinguished using the fire extinguisher. Large fires should be handled by <br />the local fire department. <br />In an unknown situation or if responding to toxic gas emergencies, appropriate PPE, including SCBAs (if <br />available), should be donned. If appropriate PPE is unavailable, site workers should evacuate and call in <br />emergency personnel. <br />For chemical spills, follow the job specific AHA for spill containment <br />If chemicals are accidentally spilled or splashed into eyes or on skin, use eyewash and wash affected area. <br />Site worker should shower as soon as possible after incident. <br />If the emergency involves toxic gases, workers will back off and reassess. Prior to re-entering the work zone, <br />the area must be determined to be safe. Entry will be using Level B PPE and utilize appropriate monitoring <br />equipment to verify that the site is safe. <br />An injured worker shall be decontaminated appropriately. <br />Within 24 hours after any emergency response, the Incident Analysis Report (and Vehicle Incident Report if <br />vehicle incident) shall be completed and returned to the Group HSE Manager. Injuries requiring medical <br />treatment beyond first aid (as well as work-related vehicle incidents) will require the employee to submit a post <br />incident drug test.
