Site Health and Safety Plan 19133 East Liberty Road, Clements, California August 16, 2022 Page 34 Sharp Environmental Technologies, Inc. Jeff Sharp, cell phone: 310-505-3675 Alternate: Russell Hartanft, cell phone: 562-350-2877 11.3 Fire or Explosion In the event of fire or explosion, personnel should contact the local fire department immediately by dialing 911. When representatives of the fire department arrive, the SHSS, or designated representative, will advise the commanding fire officer of the location, nature, and identification of any hazardous materials onsite. Only trained, experienced fire fighters should attempt to extinguish substantial fires at the site. Site personnel should not attempt to fight fires, unless properly trained and equipped to do so. 11.4 Underground Utilities In the event that an underground conduit is damaged during excavation or drilling, mechanized equipment will immediately be shut off until the nature of the piping that was damaged can be determined. Depending on the nature of the broken conduit (e.g., natural gas, water, or electricity), the appropriate local utility will need to be contacted. 11.5 Evacuation The SHSS will designate evacuation routes and refuge areas to be used in the event of an emergency. Site personnel will stay upwind from vapors or smoke and upgradient from spills. If workers are in an exclusion or contamination reduction zone at the start of an emergency, they should exit through the established decontamination areas whenever possible. If evacuation cannot be done through an established decontamination area, site personnel will go to the nearest safe location and remove contaminated clothing there or, if possible, leave it near the exclusion zone. Personnel will assemble at the predetermined refuge following evacuation and decontamination. The SHSS, or designated representative, will count and identify site personnel to verify that all have been evacuated safely. 11.6 Hazardous Material Spill If a hazardous material spill occurs, site personnel should locate the source of the spill and determine the hazard it poses to the health and safety of site workers and the public. An attempt to stop or reduce the flow can be made, if it can be done without risk to personnel. Otherwise, the spill area should be isolated and entry by unauthorized personnel not allowed. All sources of ignition that are located within 100 feet of the spill, including vehicle engines, should be de-energized. If the spill is of such nature or extent that it cannot be safely contained, or poses an imminent threat to human health or the environment, an emergency cleanup contractor should be called as soon as possible. Additional spill containment measures are listed below. • Containers may be up righted or rotated to stop the flow of liquids. This step should be accomplished as soon as the spill or leak occurs, providing it is safe to do so. • Sorbent pads, booms, or adjacent soil may be used to dike or berm the spill, or to solidify liquids.
