101 • • Document Number: 909 R 5003 Rev: 12 Date: 1/22/13 The emergency response procedures address steps to be taken in the case of a release of a hazardous chemical or waste. The facility may opt to manage the release of a small quantity of a hazardous chemical or waste. The EHS / BATCH / FURNACE AND TECHNICAL Manager are responsible for responding to such incidents and/or directing a response. In the case of the release of an acutely hazardous material, welding gases, or other material deemed too large or dangerous for facility personnel to handle, the incident commander will instruct security to call the Lathrop -Manteca Fire District. The fire department is the first responder in such cases. Working with plant personnel, the fire department may request assistance from the San Joaquin County OES or a private clean-up firm. Depending upon the nature of the emergency, assistance may be required from the Lathrop Police and San Joaquin County Sheriff. The facility's close proximity to 1-5 may require the California Highway Patrol to be notified as well. In the event that injuries occur during an emergency, the fire department's paramedics will be responsible for determining what area hospitals will be used. San Joaquin General Hospital (French Camp) and Doctor's Hospital (Manteca) are approximately the same distance from the facility. Post -Emergency Guidelines The following guidelines should be observed following any emergency, especially those involving the release of a hazardous chemical. Handling of Recovered Waste • any type of waste resulting from the release or clean-up of a hazardous chemical should be handled according to the appropriate regulations. • if used, outside contractors are responsible for securing any recovered waste in appropriate container(s).
