This plan provides a total facility response program applicable to any emergency. responses required in the event of a specific type of emergency: fire, explosion, chemical spill, hazardous waste incident or natural disaster -- are spelled out. It enables branch personnel, in the event of an emergency, to undertake actions that minimize any threat to the facility, employees, residential and business neighbors, company assets, adjoining properties, and to human health and the environment. In addition, contractors working at the facility are required to follow Univar's plan and implement equivalent compliant policies and procedures, or follow the Univar policies and procedures to ensure full compliance with OSHA requirements. Each Univar facility will maintain a master copy of the plan which will be kept in one location at the facility, accessible to anyone needing the plan in an emergency situation. Copies will be distributed to key personnel (those with responsibilities during emergency situations). All employees and contractors will receive training on the plan and what their role is in the event of an emergency. This plan serves as the Emergency Action Plan defined by OSHA in 29 CFR 1910.38 and 1910.119. The plan is organized so that changes in personnel, procedures and regulations can be easily incorporated into the plan as they occur, assuring up-to-date information. Table 1 lists items that should be updated on a regular basis to assure the plan remains current.
