The procedure for handling emergencies is described in the document. The procedure of dealing can differ from one organization to another. This document provides a general overview of how to handle an emergency by taking the appropriate steps. The plan includes the emergency response procedure itself and completely describes how to handle emergencies from beginning to end.

2. Emergency Plan
• An Emergency is an unexpected and difficult or dangerous situation,
especially an accident, which happens suddenly, and which requires
quick action to deal with it.
• Emergency Plan means a description of the objectives, policy and
concept of operations for the response to an emergency and of the
structure, authorities and responsibilities for a systematic, coordinated
and effective response.

4. How to develop an emergency dealing plan
• Development of the plan should include following considerations:
• Hazard identification/assessment
• Emergency resources
• Communication systems
• Administration of the plan
• Emergency response procedure
• Communication of the procedure
• Debriefing and post-traumatic stress procedure

5. Hazard Identification / Assessment
• The process of hazard identification and assessment involves a thorough
review that should include, but not be limited to, the following points:
• Transportation, materials handling, equipment installation, temporary structures,
material storage, start-up, and commissioning activities
• environmental concerns
• resources such as material safety data sheets (MSDSs) to determine potential
hazards from on-site materials
• proximity to traffic and public ways
• For each hazard identified, ask:
• What can go wrong?
• What are the consequences?

6. Emergency Resources
• It is important to identify which resources are available and have
contingency plans in place to make up for any deficiencies.
• On-site resources such as fire extinguishers, spills containment
equipment, and first aid kits must be maintained and clearly
identified.
• Personnel, especially on-site medical staff or workers trained in first
aid, should be included in the plan.
• Resources may have to be obtained and kept on site which may
include fire protection or ambulance/medical resources in remote
areas

7. Communication System
• The type and location of emergency communication systems must be
posted on the project.
• Location of telephones, a list of site personnel with cellular phones or two-
way radios, and any other equipment available.
• Emergency phone numbers and the site address/location should be
posted beside all site phones.

8. Administration of the Plan
• The person who has the task of administering and organizing the plan
is the person in charge of the emergency response.
• It is their task to ensure
• that everyone clearly understands their roles and responsibilities within the
emergency response plan (a chart may be helpful in this regard)
• that emergency resources, whether people or equipment, are kept at
adequate levels in step with the progress of the project.
• It is very important to review the emergency plan on a regular basis
and especially after an emergency has occurred.

10. Communication of the procedure
• Communicate the procedure to all site personnel
• Review the procedure
• with site subcontractors and new workers
• with suppliers
• Review new work areas in operating plants with owner/client
• Review the procedure with the Health and Safety Representative on a regular
basis to address new hazards or significant changes in site conditions
• Post the procedure in a clearly visible location
• The procedure for a construction project must continually undergo
review and revision to meet changing conditions.

11. Debriefing and Post-Traumatic Stress
Procedure
• Once the emergency is over, the attitude should not be “Okay, let’s
get back to work” or “Let’s go home.”
• Some of the people involved may need assistance in order to recover.
• In some cases, professional counselling may be needed.
• Construction companies should have measures in place to deal with
post-traumatic stress.
• Debriefing is necessary to review how well the plan worked in the
emergency and to correct any deficiencies that were identified.
