Kennedy/Jenks Consultants of a regulatory agency, regardless of severity. All K/J personnel should report an incident to the SSO or FSSO. The SSO and FSSO will report to the project manager. Each incident will be investigated and a written report should be received by the project manager and the regional safety supervisor within five days of the incident. If work zones are established, the Exclusion Zone will have several emergency exits which will allow safe egress in multiple directions from any point onsite. The exit selection will be based on the emergency location, type of emergency, and wind direction. Upon hearing the evacuation signal or otherwise being notified of an evacuation, employees will immediately travel to the assembly area located at the decontamination station. Employees will follow a route that avoids locations downwind from the emergency. If emergency exits are used, employees will proceed to the assembly area by the quickest route possible, staying close to the perimeter of the Exclusion Zone. When the assembly area is reached, employees will immediately check in with the SSO or FSSO. The site will remain evacuated until the all clear signal has been given. Onsite emergency equipment will include equipment used during operations (heavy equip- ment) and reserved items stored at the decontamination/ assembly area and at strategic areas onsite. The following is a list of emergency equipment available: • Portable emergency eye wash • First-aid supplies • Absorbent-spill control • Extra batteries for radios, monitoring equipment, etc. All personnel will have a thorough understanding of the Emergency Response Plan before starting work. It will be rehearsed regularly and reviewed periodically to keep it current with new or changing site conditions or information. In the event of personal injury, first-aid personnel must decide if the victim's injuries are potentially the type that would be aggravated by movement. If there is any doubt, or the victim is unconscious and cannot respond, no attempt should be made to move the victim to the decontamination area. Only offsite paramedics may move such victims. If the paramedics approve, the victim's protective equipment will be cut off in the decontamina- tion Reduction Zone. If the decision is made not to remove the victim's protective clothing, he or she will be wrapped in a tarp or similar object to protect the ambulance and crew during transportation. If the victim is contaminated with materials that threaten to cause additional injury or immediate health hazards, the personal protective equipment shall be carefully removed and the victim washed appropriately. Routine and emergency communi- cation will be provided by the site telephone. The nearest hospital is St. Joseph's Medical Center at 1800 N. California Street in Stockton.
