TABLE 3 OIL SPILL RESPONSE IMMEDIATE ACTIONS — §112.7(a)(3)(iv) If an oil spill occurs at the facility, the following procedures will be followed: 1. The employee who discovers the oil spill should attempt to identify the source of the leak and stop it, if it can be done without risk. 2. Notify the Shift Chief(Department Shift Supervisor). The Shift Chief will evacuate and contact local rescue service (Fire Department), if necessary, and contact the Emergency Response Team. 3. Depending upon the severity of the situation, the Shift Chief should immediately notify the Environmental Specialist or the Plant Manager of the situation. 4. The Environmental Specialist will determine the size and extent of the spill and mobilize the appropriate facility personnel (those personnel who have completed the SPCC training), equipment, and materials to stop and contain the oil spill. 5. If the Environmental Specialist determines that the spill cannot be contained by facility personnel, an emergency response contractor will be notified to assist in the containment and cleanup of the spill.

The Environmental Specialist will also notify the Tracy Fire Department, if not already done so, for any spill that is not readily contained by Owens-Brockway personnel. The Fire Department will provide fire protection and potentially assist in the containment of the oil spill until the cleanup can be accomplished by either the facility personnel and/or Owens-Brockway's emergency response contractor. 7. The Environmental Specialist will communicate any spill situation to the appropriate authorities, after consulting with O-I Environmental Affairs. 8.
