<br />63 <br /> <br />11.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN <br /> <br />The nature of work at contaminated or potentially contaminated work sites makes emergencies <br />a continual possibility. Although emergencies are unlikely and occur infrequently, a contingency <br />plan is required to ensure timely and appropriate response actions. The contingency plan is <br />reviewed at tailgate safety meetings. <br /> <br />11.1 EMERGENCY INCIDENT PROCEDURES <br />If an emergency incident occurs, take the following action: <br /> <br />Step 1: Size up the situation based on the available information. <br /> <br />Step 2: Notify the Site Safety Officer and/or Field Supervisor. <br /> <br />Step 3: Only respond to an emergency if personnel are sufficiently trained and adequately <br />equipped. <br /> <br />Step 4: Evacuate site personnel as appropriate and notify emergency response agencies, such <br />as the police and fire departments. <br /> <br />Step 5: Request assistance from outside sources and/or allocate personnel and equipment <br />resources for response. <br /> <br />Step 6: Consult the posted emergency phone list and contact key project personnel. <br /> <br />Step 7: Prepare an incident report. <br /> <br />Forward the incident report to the Project Manager/Health and Safety Officer within 24 hours. <br />
