VESERIS <br />Contingency Plan <br />Section 6 — <br />Emergency Procedures <br />Effective Date <br />9/20/2021 <br />Supersedes <br />New <br />I. FIRE <br />It is important that all employees never forget that firefighting requires <br />PROFESSIONAL action. The flammable materials at this Branch can be <br />explosive and extremely dangerous in a fire. Employees discovering a fire are <br />instructed to always alert the Emergency Coordinator first, and then try to <br />control/contain the fire, but only if it is safe to do so. <br />In the event of a fire, branch personnel will follow this procedure: <br />EMERGENCY PROCEDURES: <br /> <br />1. Alert the Emergency Coordinator and give the following information: <br />Your name; <br />Location of the fire; and <br />Need for fire truck, ambulance, police, or other emergency equipment. <br />The Emergency Coordinator will call for assistance from the appropriate <br />local emergency services agencies if he/she deems such assistance to be <br />required. <br /> <br />2. If in the judgment of the Emergency Coordinator the fire situation requires <br />evacuation, he/she will sound the alarm either verbally, telephone page, <br />or pre designated alarm. <br />Upon hearing the alarm, all personnel are to leave the premises by the <br />nearest safe exit and report to the Assembly Point Leader(s) at the <br />designated congregation point. <br />If there is time to do so safely, Assembly Point Leaders should turn <br />off main power switches in their buildings and close doors and <br />windows. <br />Vehicle and forklift operators will clear their equipment from the <br />aisles and exits and yard as appropriate. Shut off engines. <br />First Aid Teams and Fire/Spill Control Teams should bring emergency <br />equipment to the assembly point area and await instructions from the <br />team leaders and the Emergency Coordinators.
