6.0 CONTINGENCY PLAN <br /> The nature of work at contaminated or potentially contaminated work sites makes emergencies <br /> a continual possibility. Although emergencies are unlikely and occur infrequently, a contingency <br /> plan is required to assure timely and appropriate response actions. The contingency plan is <br /> reviewed at tailgate safety meetings. <br /> Tailgate Safety Meetings are required in order to fulfill regulatory provisions for training <br /> employees on site-specific hazards as a means of minimizing work-place injuries and illnesses. <br /> Prior to commencing work on a site, a Tailgate Safety Meeting (see Attachment 8) will be <br /> conducted to review site-specific hazards and protocols. <br /> The following sections outline emergency procedures and routes. <br /> 6.1 Emergency Procedures <br /> 6.1.1 Incident <br /> If an emergency incident occurs, take the following action: <br /> Step 1: Size-up the situation based on the available information. <br /> Step 2: As necessary, request assistance from outside sources and/or allocate personnel <br /> and equipment resources for response. <br /> Step 3: Notify the Site Safety Officer and/or Field Supervisor. <br /> Step 4: As appropriate, evacuate site personnel and nearby public and contain hazards. <br /> Step 5: Consult the posted emergency phone list and contact key project personnel. <br /> Step 6: Prepare an incident report. <br /> 6.1.2 Injury <br /> If an injury occurs, take the following action: <br /> Step 1: Assess the severity of the injury and perform life-saving first aid/CPR as <br /> necessary (and able) to stabilize the injured person. <br /> Step 2: Get medical attention for the injured person immediately.
