Step 4 — CONTAIN <br />The Emergency Coordinator shall be responsible for the containment of the emergency to the <br />extent that it is safe to do so. He/she shall have the authority to shut down any processes that <br />may contribute to the emergency or impede prompt mitigation of the emergency. <br />Spills may be contained by shutting valves, righting containers and applying sorbents, dams or <br />other approved methods. <br />Small fires may be extinguished with the appropriate equipment in a safe manner. Containers <br />of hazardous waste or other materials threatened by the fire or spill may be removed to a safe <br />location. <br />Step 5 — MONITOR <br />During the time that the emergency is being treated and the facility has been shut down, the <br />Emergency coordinator shall monitor equipment for leaks, pressure buildup, gas generation, <br />ruptures in valves, pipes or other equipment. The E.C. shall take steps to see that any <br />additional hazards are contended with. <br />Step 6 — CLEAN-UP <br />Immediately after the emergency, the Emergency Coordinator shall provide for treating, storing <br />or disposing of recovered waste, contaminated soil or surface water, or any other material that <br />results from the hazardous waste emergency. These wastes shall be disposed of in <br />accordance with state and local regulations. <br />The E.C. shall ensure that no waste incompatible with the released material shall be <br />transferred, treated, stored or disposed of until the clean-up is completed. In addition, the E.C. <br />shall see that all emergency response equipment listed in this plan is cleaned and fit for its <br />intended use before operations are resumed in the affected area. <br />The E.C. shall notify the State OES and appropriate local authorities that the facility is in <br />compliance before resuming operations. <br />Step 7 — REPORT <br />The Emergency Coordinator shall prepare a report of the incident and record the same using <br />the attached form.
