13.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN This section describes possible contingencies and emergency procedures to be implemented at the site. 13.1 PERSONNEL ROLES AND LINES OF AUTHORITY The FSO has primary responsibility of handling emergency situations. This includes taking appropriate measures to ensure the H&S of site personnel and the public. The FSO will be responsible for evacuating any person and providing decontamination, and arranging for medical treatment or first aid for any person injured or requiring medical attention. Possible actions may involve the evacuation of personnel from the site area and ensuring that corrective measures have been implemented, appropriate authorities notified, and follow-up reports completed. If the FSO is not available, the CM or other ERM field staff will assume the FSO's responsibilities. All site personnel will assist as directed by the FSO in case of an emergency. 13.2 EMERGENCY ALARMS The site does not have a built-in emergency alarm system. In the event of an emergency, cell phones and/or two-way radios will be used to notify site workers to evacuate the work area. 13.3 EVACUATION PROCEDURES AND ROUTES In the event of an emergency requiring evacuation to an assembly point, the FSO will be responsible to account for the presence of all project team members and subcontractors on site at the time of the emergency. Upon notification through the two-way radio system or cell phones, all site personnel,including visitors,must evacuate to the southeast corner of the property at the access road off of Washington Street. When evacuating, it is important to be aware of the prevailing wind direction and evacuate upwind or crosswind. An alternative assembly point is the northeast corner of the property near the bridge at Navy Drive. ERM 13-1 DEERE/129740-9/29/2011
