If neither is available <br />the next alternate listed on the emergency phone number listing should be contacted. The <br />Emergency Coordinator, or alternate, will determine if the situation warrants implementation <br />of this plan. <br />The Emergency Coordinator and Alternate(s) have the authority to commit company <br />resources and initiate requests for assistance to any local outside emergency services <br />agency. The decision must be made by the Emergency Coordinator or the Alternate <br />whether a situation poses a threat to human health or safety to such an extent that <br />evacuation of the facility is required. If evacuation is deemed appropriate, then <br />implementation of this plan is appropriate. Listed below are situations that may require <br />implementation of this plan: <br />An explosion anywhere, anytime at the facility. <br />A fire that, upon discovery, cannot be controlled by fire extinguishers. <br />A release of a toxic or irritating gas in a quantity great enough to threaten <br />human health or the environment. <br />A spill of a hazardous liquid that threatens to escape off-site by way of a <br />sewer or overland flow. <br />A release of a material that creates, or a situation that results in, obnoxious <br />fumes which may threaten human health or the environment. <br />In all emergency situations, the Emergency Coordinator should assess the nature of the <br />emergency in the following order: <br />Is there a need for evacuation? If yes, then proceed to number 2; if no, then <br />proceed to number 8. <br />Issue the signal to evacuate and implement the Contingency Plan. <br />Account for all personnel. <br />EI Identify missing personnel and advise rescuers of their last known <br />position in the facility.
