Be prepared for aftershocks and fires. 2. Personnel shall obtain or wait for instructions from the Floor Marshall/Warden, Emergency Response Coordinator (or designate)or Emergency Services personnel(i.e. all clear and re-entry or further evacuation). ELECTRICAL LIVE LINE CONTACT 1. All personnel shall evacuate to the designated muster point if safely able to do so. 2. Establish the danger zone: 33ft(10m)radius from anything in contact with the live line. 3. If contact was made while operating a vehicle or equipment, the operator shall, if feasible: a) Remain on the equipment or inside the cab. All other personnel must keep away from the machine and any other applicable connected or contacted components such as rope or load. b) Try, unaided and without anyone approaching the machine, to back off the equipment until it is well clear of the power line. c) If the machine cannot be self-propelled away or disentangled from the line, remain inside the machine until the electrical authorities de-energize the circuit and confirm that conditions are safe. d) If the cable or equipment appears to be welded to the line do not try to back the equipment off. This could cause the line to whip or snap. 4. If hazards are present,such as fire,that require the operator to leave the equipment or vehicle,the operator must jump to the ground,taking critical care to keep both feet together and not fall or touch the equipment or ground with any other body part. 5. To leave the danger zone the individual must*Hydro Shuffle or bunny hop with both feet leaving and making contact with the ground at the same time. Hopping shall be the secondary choice as the potential to fall is increased. 6. Notify Floor Marshall/Warden, Emergency Response Coordinator or designate. Contact electrical company. 7. Assess the scene. Lock out power supply if it is possible to do so safely. Identify potential hazards: fire, explosion, slack lines away from immediate area. 8. Take appropriate control measures to prevent further hazards if it is safe to do so. 9. Should it be determined that a worker is still within the hazard zone,establish whether a rescue can be safely attempted. Follow Emergency Rescue Procedure if a rescue attempt will not put another life in danger. 10. Ensure any piece of equipment that has sustained a live line contact is inspected and/or receives appropriate certifications as damage to bearings or structural integrity may have occurred. *Hydro Shuffle: In order to avoid electrical shock, keep both feet tightly together. Shuffle, using short steps where the heel of one foot never moves beyond the toe of the other foot. Hopping with both feet together can also prevent shock as you leave the hazard area. EMERGENCY RESCUE 1. Ensure EMT Lead and appropriate Emergency Services are notified. 2. Assess the situation(i.e. location of victim if known, hazards,potential hazards,contributing factors, number of rescuers available) 3. If properly trained and a rescue attempt will not put another individual in jeopardy, approach the rescue according to the hazards presented. Wear appropriate PPE 4. When the worker requiring rescue is found, attempt to isolate from the hazards presented. If no serious injury is presented evacuate immediately. If serious injury is present, do not move the casualty unless further harm cannot be avoided without moving 5. If moving to a safe area is necessary, utilize the collar drag,two-arm drag,two-rescuer drag or two-rescuer carry. These techniques provide back and neck support to protect from further injury 6. Administer first aid, if trained, as outlined in`Medical Emergency Procedure'. ©AECOM Restricted Universal Heath and Safety Plan Template(S4(DSC)AM-209-FM-C) Revision 12 September 9,2021 PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED.CONTROLLED COPY IS AVAILABLE ON COMPANY INTRANET.
