REPUBLIC <br />SERVICES <br />Safety Manual <br />3. Use Designated Exit Routes <br />Plans/maps that identify designated emergency exits, routes and the locations of fire extinguishers <br />and fire hoses are posted in key locations within the Facility. Employees must always evacuate <br />through an exit closest to your location in the event of an emergency or fire requiring evacuation. <br />Each supet visor, or in his/her absence an individual designated by the supervisor, is responsible to <br />ensure that all assigned evacuation routes and exits are clear from obstructions that could hinder <br />evacuation during an emergency. <br />4. Clear the Building/ Area <br />Supervisors are responsible in the event of an evacuation to ensure that all employees and <br />visitors safely evacuate fiom the supervisor's assigned work area. Supervisors are also <br />responsible for ensuring that any disabled person located in the supervisor's work area is either <br />evacuated with other employees or is relocated to a designated (on the evacuation map) location <br />for evacuation by emergency response personnel. Those supervisors whose assigned work areas <br />include restrooms and other inside rooms are responsible to ensure that those areas have been <br />evacuated. <br />5. Evacuation Precautions <br />When evacuating during a fire, do not open doors if the doors or knobs are hot. If they are cool, <br />open doors slowly. If smoke is encountered when exiting, kneel down on the floor and crawl to <br />escape. Never use an elevator during a fire. Smoke and heat rises so the elevator may be filled with <br />smoke. <br />6. Proceed Immediately to Assembly Locations <br />Employees are instructed to quickly exit the building and to assemble at the primary or secondary <br />assembly locations. See Facility Specific Emergency Information List for the primary and <br />secondary locations. <br />7. Conduct Headcount <br />Supervisors, with the assistance of employees, are to take headcounts at the assembly area. <br />Emergency personnel are to be notified of names and last known location of any missing personnel <br />who might require rescue. <br />Emergency personnel or the facility manager will make the decision once a headcount is taken if the <br />situation warrants a further evacuation. This may require sending personnel home by normal means <br />or providing them with transportation to an offsite location. <br />Page 8 of 27 <br />0 2009 Republic Services 8/24/2092 Emergency A ction Plan <br />
