8.5 Evacuation Procedures <br />In the event of an emergency situation such as fire, explosion, significant release of toxic vapors or <br />gases, etc., an air horn will be sounded for approximately three seconds indicating the initiation of <br />evacuation procedures. All personnel in both the restricted and non -restricted areas will evacuate and <br />assemble at a safe area as previously identified by the PM during the safety orientation meeting (see Site <br />Overview map and Site Plan located in Section # 17 of the HASP). The location shall be upwind of the <br />site as determined by wind direction indicator. For efficient and safe site evacuation and assessment of <br />the emergency situation, the PM or his designee has authority to initiate proper action. Under no <br />circumstances will incoming personnel or visitors be allowed to proceed into the area once the <br />emergency signal has been given. Upon evacuation any participants in the affected area will be <br />instructed by unloading personnel to turn off their engines, leave their cars and proceed to the evacuation <br />area. The PM will ascertain that access for emergency equipment can be provided, all personnel will be <br />evacuated to a safe area, and all combustion apparatus will be shut down once the alarm has been <br />sounded. The PM or his designee will call the Fire Dept. (911) and coordinate with all off-site personnel <br />and emergency services. <br />In the event that unknown explosives, radioactives, biological contaminants and/or reactive materials <br />(which are unacceptable for planned disposal) are received, PSC Environmental Services Inc. will alert <br />the County representative and upon their approval, contact qualified subcontractors. <br />16 <br />
