VESE R IS <br />Contingency Plan <br />Section 4 — Effective Date Supersedes Page <br />Emergency Recogn on 9/20/2021 New 4-1 <br />EMERGENCY RECOGNITION <br />WHEN TO USE THIS PLAN: <br />In the event of an emergency situation, the individual discovering the emergency <br />immediately notifies the Emergency Coordinator or his/her alternate. If neither is <br />available the next alternate listed on the emergency phone number listing should <br />be contacted. The Emergency Coordinator, or alternate, will determine if the <br />situation warrants implementation of this plan. <br />The Emergency Coordinator and Alternate(s) have the authority to commit <br />company resources and initiate requests for assistance to any local outside <br />emergency services agency. The decision must be made by the Emergency <br />Coordinator or the Alternate whether a situation poses a threat to human health <br />or safety to such an extent that evacuation of the facility is required. If evacuation <br />is deemed appropriate, then implementation of this plan is appropriate. Listed <br />below are situations that may require implementation of this plan: <br />An explosion anywhere, anytime at the facility. <br />A fire that, upon discovery, cannot be controlled by fire extinguishers. <br />A release of a toxic or irritating gas in a quantity great enough to threaten <br />human health or the environment. <br />A spill of a hazardous liquid that threatens to escape off-site by way of a <br />sewer or overland flow. <br />A release of a material that creates, or a situation that results in, <br />obnoxious fumes which may threaten human health or the environment. <br />In all emergency situations, the Emergency Coordinator should assess the <br />nature of the emergency in the following order: <br />Is there a need for evacuation? If yes, then proceed to number 2; if no, <br />then proceed to number 8. <br />Issue the signal to evacuate and implement the Contingency Plan. <br />Account for all personnel.
