5 EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND GUIDELINES

5.1 Reporting and first steps procedure

Any person witnessing an emergency situation or an unusual occurrence

shall immediately call the E.R.T., i.e. :

The E.R.T. shall immediately report to the area / building identified to assess

the situation and direct necessary protective actions.

Upon evacuation, the nominated person or next senior employee of each

Evacuation Assembly Area defined by the Construction Contractor Manager

shall perform accountability. This shall be performed quickly and the results

shall be reported to the E.R.T.

5.2 Emergency response guidelines

The purpose of these guidelines is to establish standard procedures to follow in

the event of the most likely and hazardous situations determined by the

above analysis:

A. Medical emergency

B. Fire / Major structural fire

A.Medical Emergency

The purpose of this guideline is to establish a standard procedure to follow in

the event a medical emergency occurs on the construction site. In the event

of such an accident, the following procedures will be enacted:

1. A person witnessing a medical emergency on site will immediately call the E.R.T. :

The witness will not attempt to move seriously injured personnel, but, after

calling for Help:

a. Check if the accident scene is safe

b. Provide first aid, only if trained so

c. Wait for instructions from Medical Team (ambulance to be activated

only on Doctor’s instructions;

d. Later on, interview all other witnesses, prepare appropriate reports.

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ��

� � � � � � � � �

2. Upon notification, the E.R.T. will :

a. Call immediately the corresponding Doctor,

b. Dispatch a nominated person to the location, to help the witness and

assess the situation if necessary.

5.3 The following list covers basic actions to take in an emergency. These steps

apply to almost any emergency and should be followed in sequence:

Ø Stay calm

Ø Assess the situation

Ø Take command

Ø Provide protection

Ø Aid and manage

Ø Maintain contacts

Ø Guide emergency services

Stay calm- your example can influence others and thereby aid the

emergency response.

Assess the situation- Determine what happened and what the emergency is.

Look at the big picture. What has happened to whom and what will continue

to happen if no action is taken? Try to identify the cause that must be

controlled to eliminate immediate, ongoing, or further danger.

Take command- the most senior person on the seen should take charge and

call, or delegate someone to call, emergency services. And explain the

situation. Assign tasks for controlling the emergency. This action also helps to

maintain order and prevent panic.

Provide protection- Eliminate further losses and safeguard the area. Control

the energy source causing the emergency. Protect victims, equipment,

materials, environment and accident scene from continuing damage or

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ��

� � � � � � � � �

further hazards. Divert traffic, suppress fire, prevent objects from falling, shut

down equipment or utilizes and take other necessary measure. Preserve the

accident scene; only disturb what is essential to maintain life or relive human

suffering and prevent immediate or further losses.

Aid and manage- provide first aid or help those already doing so. Manage at

the scene. Organize the workforce for both a headcount and emergency

assignments. Direct all workers to a safe location. This makes it easier to

identify the missing, control panic, and assign people to emergency duties.

Maintain contact- Keep emergency services informed of situation. Contact

utilities such as gas where required. Alert management and keep them

informed. Exercise increasing control over the emergency until immediate

hazards are controlled or eliminated and cause can be identified.

Guide emergency services- Meet services on site. Lead them to emergency

scene. Explain ongoing and potential hazards and cause(s), if known.

COMMUNICATION OF PROCEDURE :

To be effective, an emergency Response Procedure must be clearly

communicated to all site personnel. The following activities should be

considered.

Ø Review the procedure with new site subcontractors and new workers to

ensure that it covers their activities adequately.

Ø Review new work areas in operating plants to ensure that new hazards are

identified and covered in the procedure.

Ø Review the procedure with the Environment Health and Safety

representatives on a regular basis to address new hazards or significant

changes in site conditions.
