Editor's Notes
- WHAT ARE THE ELEMENTS OF AN EAP
- WE WILL BE FOCUSING IN ON 1910.38 TODAY. EMERGENCY ACTION PLANS FIRE PREVENTION PLANS
- WHEN WE TALK ABOUT EVACUATION WE MUST LOOK AT TWO TYPES INTERNAL (WEATHER) AND EXTERNAL ( FIRE, EXPLOSION, BOMB, SPILLS)
- DURING SEVER WEATHER CONDITIONS THE FACILITY MUST MONITOR THE SITUTION VIA RADIO OR TV. MUST THE PLANT CALL SOMEONE EXTERNAL FOR APPROVAL TO IMPLEMENT THE EAP HAVE GUIDELINES BEEN ESTABLISHED THAT ADDRESS WHENTO IMPLEMENT THE PLAN.
- CRITICAL EQUIPMENT SHUTDOWN DOES NOT MEAN THE POTIENTAL OF LOST PRODUCTION. WE LOOK AT EQUIPMENT THAT IF LEFT UN-ATTENDED WHOULD CREATE A HAZARD ITSELF. BOILERS, BANBURY (FIRE), CAN YOU JUST HIT THE “E” STOP AND GO?? THE UTILITY SERVICES ARE IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE KNOW WHERE THEY ARE (GAS) AND THEY ARE IDENTIFIED.
- TEST THE SIGNALS ON A ROUTINE BASIS TO ENSURE THEY CANBE HEARD THROUGHPUT THE FACILITY. DRILLS SHOULD INCLUDE BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL REMENBER , ALL EMPLOYEES NEED TO GO THROUGH THE DRILL, IF YOU HAVE BACK SHIFTS THEY MUST ALSO PARTICIPATE IN A DRILL. MAPS SHOULD BE POSTED IN THE DEPARTMENTS INDICATING WHERE TO GO BOTH INSIDE AND OUT.
- IMPORTANT TO KNOW IF ALL EMPLOYEES GOT OUT AND IF NOT WHAT IT THE METHOD OF RECOVERY? UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS IS AN ALL CLEAR GIVEN AND WHO HAS AUTHORITY TO GIVE IT.
- DURING THE PLANT ORIENTAION OF NEW EMPLOYEES ALSO, EMPLOYEES BEING RANSFERED INTO OTHER DEPARTMENTS NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF WHAT THEY SHOULD DO AND WHERE TO STAGE BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL. SAFETY MEETINGS ARE A GOOD VEHICLE TO COMMUNICATE CHANGES TO THE EAP
