PES Environmental, Inc. <br /> 10.6 Evacuation Procedures <br /> Various emergencies may warrant a site evacuation. These may include: fire, explosion, <br /> chemical release, or personal injury. <br /> Personnel encountering a hazardous situation shall instruct others on site to evacuate the <br /> vicinity IMMEDIATELY and call the (1) site safety officer, and (2) the Project Manager <br /> and/or the Health and Safety Officer for instructions. <br /> The site must not be re-entered until the situation has been corrected. <br /> In the event of an evacuation, the work party will move upwind. Wind direction can be noted <br /> by the use of a windsock located on the site or other indicators (i.e., flags, trees, waves, etc.). <br /> When conditions warrant moving away from the work site, the crew will relocate upwind a <br /> distance of approximately 100 feet or further, as indicated by the site monitoring instruments. <br /> If the decontamination area is upwind and far enough from the event, the work crew will <br /> quickly pass through the decontamination area to remove contaminated clothing. <br /> When the site safety officer determines that conditions warrant evacuation of downwind <br /> residences and commercial operations, local agencies will be notified, and assistance requested. <br /> Designated on-site personnel will initiate evacuation of the immediate off-site area without <br /> delay. The following signals (i.e., truck/car horn) will be utilized for site <br /> evacuation/emergencies: <br /> • 1 long blast - Evacuate; <br /> • 1 short blast - Attention; and <br /> • 2 blasts - Fire. <br /> 11.0 TRAINING AND MEDICAL MONITORING <br /> All PES employees have fulfilled the applicable training and medical monitoring requirements <br /> described in 40 CFR 1910.120. All subcontractors to PES shall provide evidence of having <br /> met the same requirements prior to performing on-site work. Also, immediately prior to <br /> initiating field activities, a tailgate training session shall be held to discuss this HSP and the <br /> procedures contained herein. <br /> 12.0 REFERENCES <br /> California Code of Regulations, Title 8, GISO5192. <br /> 148400101H002.doc 19 <br />
