Major Discharge Description Major discharges are generally those where: • The discharge is large enough to spread beyond the immediate discharge area. • The discharged material enters water. • The discharge requires special equipment or training to clean up. • The discharged material poses a hazard to human health or safety. • There is a danger of fire or explosion. 6.2.2. Major Discharge Cleanup and Guidelines In the event of a major discharge, the following guidelines apply: • All workers will immediately evacuate the discharge site via the designated exit routes and move to the designated staging areas at a safe distance from the discharge. Exit routes are included on the Facility diagram (Figure 2). • If the Emergency Coordinator is not present at the Facility, the senior on-site person notifies the Coordinator of the discharge and has authority to initiate notification and response. Certain notifications are dependent on the circumstances and type of discharge. • The Emergency Coordinator (or senior on-site person) must call for medical assistance if workers are injured. • The Emergency Coordinator (or senior on-site person) must notify the Fire Department or Police Department. • The Emergency Coordinator (or senior on-site person) must call the spill response and cleanup contractors listed in the Emergency Contacts list in Appendix I. • The Emergency Coordinator (or senior on-site person) must immediately contact the Cal OES (562-795-2910) and the National Response Center (800-424-8802). • The Emergency Coordinator (or senior on-site person) must record the call on the Discharge Notification form in Appendix D and attach a copy to this Plan. • The Emergency Coordinator (or senior on-site person) coordinates cleanup and obtains assistance from a cleanup contractor or other response organization as necessary. • If the Emergency Coordinator is not available at the time of the discharge, then the next highest person in seniority assumes responsibility for coordinating response activities.
