PROPANE GAS LEAK <br /> In case of Propane Gas Leak, the following steps should be taken: <br /> Propane Leak: <br /> • Employee that discovers the propane leak must contact direct supervisor/foreman. <br /> • The foreman will isolate and assure no person is smoking, torch cutting, welding, etc. in <br /> the area. <br /> • The supervisor/foreman of that area should immediately evacuate the area and lead <br /> their group of workers to the designated assembly areas. <br /> • The foreman will then inform his/her direct supervisor of the situation. <br /> • A supervisor will then inspect the area and take the necessary actions to ensure the leak <br /> is repaired. Once repaired, the site supervisor will inform employees whether or not the <br /> area is safe to re-enter. <br /> • The site supervisor or designated person will call 911 if necessary. <br /> Facility Re-Entry Procedures <br /> In all instances where the Emergency Response Plan or Protocol is instituted certain steps must <br /> be taken prior to re-entry into Alco's Facilities. It is imperative that the Designated Official or <br /> Emergency Coordinator do a full hazard analysis of the facility prior to Re-Entry. <br /> This analysis must include any new hazards or dangers that are present due to the emergency <br /> circumstance and if new hazards are found a tailgate meeting should be called to instruct or <br /> train the employees on the new circumstances. If necessary additional PPE should be handed <br /> out if the Hazard Analysis warrants it use for the new hazards and shall remain until all hazards <br /> are mitigated. <br /> Page 5 of 5 <br />
