VESERIS Contingency Plan Section 7 — Effective Date Supersedes Page Evacuation of the Branch 9/20/2021 New 7-2 Assembly Point Leader. The Assembly Point Leader will take a head count to insure that all non-essential personnel have evacuated the facility. If an individual is unaccounted for at the assembly point, the assembly point leader will notify the Emergency Coordinator. The Emergency Coordinator will assess the situation and initiate actions to locate the missing employee. A list of all persons employed at the Branch is maintained (kept very current) and filed in Appendix B. After the emergency is resolved, the Assembly Point Leader, after consultation with the Emergency Coordinator, will release personnel to return to work. First Aid Team(s) First Aid Team Leaders should take a First-Aid Kit with them to the assembly point and be prepared to assist the injured. Depending upon the size of the Branch, it may be advisable to have one first aid team stationed at the assembly point that is charged with administering first aid and calling for outside medical assistance when necessary. Another first aid team should be in charge of rescuing missing personnel. This team should have a stretcher and personal protective gear with them and operate under the direction of the Emergency Coordinator. Fire/Spill Control Team(s) Fire/Spill Control Teams should meet at the assembly point so that all personnel can be accounted for before any emergency procedures are begun. If it is possible to do so in a safe manner, members of these teams should bring with them a fire extinguisher and personal protective equipment. Once assembled, these teams should await instructions from the Emergency Coordinator. There should be no attempt at firefighting or spill control without first receiving instructions from the Emergency Coordinator. Further action will depend on the nature of the emergency and will be taken under the direction of the Emergency Coordinator. EVACUATION ROUTES AND ASSEMBLY POINT Evacuation route diagrams are mounted at key locations throughout the Branch. The diagrams are easy to read and identify the location of each diagram ("you are here") and the exits nearest the diagram. The diagram shows the location of the assembly point and the best route to get there. Evacuation routes and the assembly point for this Branch are shown on the diagrams in Appendix B.
