Health and Safety Plan <br />Page 18 <br />9.5 Fire and Explosion Response Procedures <br />Fire on site can be started by natural events, work activities, or the <br />activities of others. These shall be a multipurpose (ABC -rated) fire <br />extinguisher on hand at all times. Personnel will be instructed in the use <br />of these fire extinguishes and to attempt control of only very small fires. <br />The procedure for using a fire extinguisher is to pull the safety pin, <br />point at the base of the flames, and discharge the extinguisher by <br />sweeping the flames from a distance of about 6 feet. The extinguisher <br />operator should move in as the flames are being put out. Musco Excavators <br />will inform the local fire district immediately in case of any fire when <br />its support will be required. <br />9.6 Evacuation From Work Areas <br />If an on-site emergency occurs, the Incident Commander will sound the site <br />emergency alarm. All workers will meet at a predesignated area located in <br />the support area. An Employee head -count will be performed to ensure all <br />workers are accounted for. <br />In case of and emergency, evacuated employees may be decontaminated rapidly <br />by removing exterior clothing. If the worker is critically injured in the <br />work area, the worker may be removed immediately from the area --DO NOT take <br />the time to decontaminate the injured worker; seek medical attention <br />immediately. <br />9 7 Emergency Medical Treatment and First Aid <br />Only minor injuries will be treated on site. They will be treated with the <br />first-aid kit available on site. <br />For major injuries, contact 911. The phone number for the hospital, fire, <br />and ambulance is 911. A complete list of emergency telephone numbers and <br />route to nearest hospital is provided in Appendix B. <br />This Health and Safety Plan has been prepared by: <br />MUSCO EXCAVATORS <br />JULY 13. 1998 <br />Date <br />PRESIDENT <br />Title <br />
