C Document Number: 909 R 5003 Rev: 12 Date: 1/22/13 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES 2. Furnace — The primary concerns in the Furnace Department are the furnaces themselves. When a power failure occurs, the furnace roof -lift should enable on its own. If the roof -lift did not enable, then the roof of the furnace should be raised manually. Once the roof is up, the furnace employees should make sure that the rolls of the furnace are still turning and that there is no more glass being fed into the furnace. Since the power is out, and the generator is used for emergency lighting and to keep the furnace rolls turning, power to the press rolls will likely be lost. Furnace employees should prepare the push -sticks to begin pushing glass out of the furnace. GLASS SHOULD NOT BE LEFT TO PILE UP IN THE FURNACE! Once the furnace has been emptied, furnace employees should await the word of the Team Leaders before starting the line once the power has been restored. 3. Maintenance — The Maintenance Department has numerous duties in the event of a power failure. One of the first priorities is to check the generator to make sure that it is running properly. Meanwhile, the origin of the power outage should be determined. Once the origin of the power outage has been found, Maintenance should contact the necessary people to begin the power restoration process. After the power has been turned back on, Maintenance personnel are to manually restart the compressors to get the R.O. system functioning again. When this process is complete, Maintenance is to contact the Team Leaders, who will in turn contact the operators to begin the start-up process.
