L' Sims Metal Management Department: Meeting Leader: 0 Safety Meeting Week Ending: Shift(s) Attending: I. Safety topics covered: Emergency Response - Evacuation Emergency Response June 2010 Emergency situations include everything from power outages to chemical spills. One of the first and most important tasks during any emergency is to assure that no one is at further risk for personal injury. The easiest way to accomplish this is to remove everyone from the building, or, in some cases, just the affected area. Prompt evacuation is a requirement of the Fire Department as well as Government agencies such as OSHA. Businesses like ours are required to have a plan and to train everyone to the plan. Although each of our locations has a slightly different procedure to follow, the steps below are universal and should be reviewed by everyone at least annually: Remember the following: 1. Learn how to activate your evacuation system. This is usually a red pull station located near the exit doors of your building. Smaller buildings are not required to have an alarm system. 2. Evacuate immediately once alerted. Do not stop to change clothes or collect personal belongings. Only individuals previously identified as operators of critical equipment are allowed to stay behind, and only if there is no danger to that person. Anyone staying behind must also be in constant two-way communication (radio, visual or other) with people on the outside of the building. 3. Determine where your department will congregate. Following any evacuation, everyone must proceed to the congregation area and must stay there until it can be verified that everyone is out of the building. 4. Never re-enter the building until the "all clear" command has be given. 5. Do not use elevators or large automated doors. These do not provide a dependable escape route in an emergency. Approved exits are marked with "Exit" signs. Some smaller automatic doors are approved for exits. These doors are usually sliding glass doors that can be opened by pushing even if there is no power. These doors will hinge if pushed. Become familiar with this type of door and practice opening it. Contact your maintenance department if there are questions concerning how to exit through a door that may lose power during an emergency. Exercise: Discuss with your group the exact procedures to follow during any evacuation. Discuss any possible problems (weather, darkness, etc) and develop plans to handle these possible situations.
