  4. What kinds of emergencies could happen at work? Although management is diligent about safety, there are situations that could arise that would require your immediate action.

  6. What action should I take? Your immediate safety, and the safety of your co-workers is our number one priority. Each of these situations requires specific actions to minimize the potential dangers. We will address each situation individually.

  7. FIRE

  8. FIREWhat you need to know If you encounter a fire, you need to know these important facts: A fire can spread rapidly, so every second counts. Act Immediately! The fire is a serious hazard, but the smoke can contain deadly vapors and chemical mixtures. Smoke will rise and usually the safest area is on the floor. When heavy smoke is present, exit signs and doors can often be hidden.

  9. FIREWhat to Do DO THIS: Remain calm Alert others about the fire: Tell co-workers in the area Notify your supervisor. If you can’t locate your supervisor immediately, call Security Walk, DO NOT RUN, to the nearest exit

  10. FIREWhat to Do DO THIS: Go immediately to your department’s assigned Assembly Point Report to your Evacuation Warden Do not leave the Assembly Point without notifying your Evacuation Warden

  11. FIREWhat If . . . You are caught in smoke? Drop to your hands and knees, keeping your face as close to the floor as possible Breathe through your nose as shallowly as possible

  12. FIREWhat If . . . You are forced to advance through flames? Hold your breath, move quickly and cover your head/hair with some type of material (i.e., jacket, shirt) Keep your head down and your eyes closed (as much as possible)

  15. EARTHQUAKES

  16. EARTHQUAKESWhat you need to know If an earthquake occurs, you need to know these important facts: After the earthquake there will be “aftershocks”. Some aftershocks can be almost as violent as the initial earthquake. They can be felt for a period of days, weeks,and even months after the initial quake.

  17. EARTHQUAKESWhat you need to know Buildings may have received structural damage in the initial quake that may not be immediately apparent but may become evident with aftershock activity Damaged utitlities, i.e., power lines, gas lines, and water lines may be present in evacuation pathways. BE CAREFUL!

  18. EARTHQUAKESWhat you need to know Most injuries result from: Falling ceiling tiles and/or light fixtures Falling plaster and/or bricks Collapsing walls Toppling furniture Falling power lines Fire resulting from broken gas lines and/or spillage of flammable liquids

  19. EARTHQUAKESWhat you need to know Since most deaths are caused by falling debris, remember to remain inside the building until after the tremor stops.

  20. EARTHQUAKESWhat to Do DO THIS: Remain calm—DO NOT PANIC! Think through the consequences of any further actions you are about to take Act quickly—DO NOT RUN! Move away from windows or glass partitions Move away from hazardous chemicals or overhead shelves

  21. EARTHQUAKESWhat to Do DO THIS: Take cover Whenever possible, get completely under a sturdy object. . . . Or Move to an inside doorway Brace yourself under the doorway by leaning against one side, while holding onto the other side . . .. . . Or Drop to the floor (on your knees) Cover the back of your head and neck with your arms

  22. EARTHQUAKES What to Do DO THIS: Stay Put Remain in your “take cover” position for a few minutes or until you are sure the shaking has stopped. Be prepared to take cover again during an aftershock DO NOT RUSH OUTSIDE! The greatest danger will be just outside the building where debris will land.

  23. EARTHQUAKES What to Do DO THIS: When safe to do so, evacuate to your Assembly Point Be aware of power lines and gas leaks DO NOT USE: Matches Cigarettes Electrical Switches Create any spark

  24. EARTHQUAKES Conditions Should an earthquake of large magnitude strike, we can anticipate the following: Structural Damage Injuries (possibly deaths) Disruption of Vital Services Delay in Public Emergency Response Impassible Streets

  25. EARTHQUAKES Conditions It is essential that you report in to your Evacuation Warden or the Command Post before leaving the facility

  26. CHEMICAL SPILLS
