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:
Z Stay calm Z Assess the situation Z Take command Z Provide protection Z Aid and manage Z Maintain contacts Z 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. Z Review the procedure with new site subcontractors and new workers to ensure that it covers their activities adequately. Z Review new work areas in operating plants to ensure that new hazards are identified and covered in the procedure. Z Review the procedure with the Environment Health and Safety representatives on a regular basis to address new hazards or significant changes in site conditions.
