Policy: AUS Policy Title: Revision Date: AUS - 006 Emergency Response Policy 8/10/18 Page 12 of 22 APPENDIX 5 EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDELINE INTRODUCTION Accidents, natural disasters, fires and other major emergencies can occur any time and without warning. Being prepared to handle emergencies is an individual and organizational responsibility. Aramark Uniform Services (AUS) has developed this guide to help you prepare for various emergencies including, fires, power failures, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods and thunderstorms. The purpose of this guide is to help you plan and respond to emergencies at work, home and on the road. Once you are familiar with this information, you will be able to protect yourself and perhaps save the life of someone else. Volunteer to take First Aid/CPR classes so you may be prepared to help the injured. If you are at work during any emergency, please follow the instructions of your supervisor, manager or emergency response personnel. Communication during disasters is critical. Make sure you keep an updated list of phone numbers for work, family and friends. Include the phone number for at least one out-of-town contact. Ask your supervisor about emergency preparedness programs at your work location. Become familiar with the emergency plans, procedures, training and supplies at your facility. Get to know your Emergency Response Team. The more you are prepared, the better you can act and minimize panic or confusion when an emergency occurs, no matter what the crisis. Always THINK before you act, then act swiftly to minimize your exposure to danger. Sections of this guide marked with a diagram of a step-van include special instructions for employees who may be on the road during an emergency. If damage to your 4 � company vehicle occurs for any reason, please file a report with CEI (800-227-0101). Remember to wear your seat belt. Please review this guide carefully. If you have any questions or require additional assistance, please contact your supervisor. TELEPHONE USAGE DURING DISASTERS When making phone calls: 1. Do not flash the receiver button if you do not hear a dial tone. This only delays your ability to get a dial tone. 2. Be patient, you will eventually receive a dial tone if the phone system works. 3. Dial your telephone number quickly after receiving a dial tone. 4. Do not leave the telephone off the hook even if you do not hear a dial tone. This may tie up a useable phone line. Please note that cellular phones are also susceptible and may not work if transmission systems damaged. If all else fails, try using a pay phone; until full communications restores: 1. Limit your telephone use to essential calls.
