Table 7 - Emergency Response Procedures <br /> • The SHSO (or alternate) should be immediately notified via the on-site <br /> communication system. The SHSO assumes control of the emergency response. <br /> • The SHSO notifies the PM, Principal-in-Charge, and the EHSC of the emergency. <br /> The EHSC must then contact the Director of Environment, Health & Safety. If a <br /> GeoSyntec employee is injured, the SHSO must contact the worker's Branch Office <br /> Manager immediately. If the Branch Office Manager can not be contacted, then the <br /> Corporate Human Resources Department must be notified. <br /> • If applicable, the SHSO must notify off-site emergency responders (i.e., fire <br /> department, hospital, police department, etc.) and must inform the response team as <br /> to the nature and location of the emergency on site. <br /> • If applicable, the SHSO evacuates the site. Site workers should move to their <br /> respective refuge stations using the evacuation routes provided on the Site Map. <br /> • For small fires, flames should be extinguished using the fire extinguisher. Large fires <br /> should be handled by the local fire department. <br /> • In an unknown situation or if responding to toxic gas emergencies, appropriate PPE, <br /> including SCBAs, should be donned. <br /> • If chemicals are accidentally spilled or splashed into eyes or of skin, use eyewash <br /> and/or shower. <br /> • Before continuing site operations after an emergency involving toxic gases, the <br /> SHSO will don a SCBA and utilize appropriate air monitoring equipment to verify <br /> that the site is safe. <br /> • An injured worker must be decontaminated appropriately. <br /> • If a worker is injured, first aid will be administered by workers certified in first aid. <br /> • After the response, the injured employee and his/her supervisor/manager must <br /> complete reports of accident and illness obtained from the Branch Office Manager. <br /> • Director of EHS will discuss each reported case during the annual HAZWOPER <br /> refresher with the entire workforce. <br /> Table Tdoc <br /> 20 August 2006 <br />
