Worker Safety Construction Emergency Action

Plan

Project Site Location

EMERGENCY RADIO PROCEDURES

When an emergency occurs the reporting person or unit will give a radio “Code Nine (9)”. Upon
this signal radio silence will be maintained by all units, on all channels, in order for
uninterrupted emergency communications between the reporting unit and base
communications. Channel One (1) is designated as the emergency communications channel until
otherwise specified by the Site manager or other designated supervisor‐in‐charge. In the event
radio contact cannot be made, the following positions will carry a cell phone. A contact list
with the phone numbers will be given to the crews:

Site Safety Coordinator

Site Manager
Project Engineer
Field Engineer
Superintendents
Foreman
Select Lead Persons

EMERGENCY REPORTING

In the event of an emergency, the nearest supervisor or equipment operator with radio
equipment will be notified. Per the above protocol, a “Code Nine (9)” Emergency will be
broadcast and the nature and degree of emergency will be reported to the Site Manager, Project
Engineer, Safety Coordinator and Superintendent of the affected work area. Additionally the
office assistant (TBD) will be notified as to whether outside Emergency Services will be
needed. The Office Assistant will notify the 911 Emergency Center (Imperial County) and
request the appropriate emergency service. The BLM will be debriefed on all incidents in weekly
monitoring reports and calls.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE

Upon notification, the Site Manager, Safety Coordinator and Trade Superintendents will respond
to the emergency scene and manage emergency operations. First aid kits are available in the
construction trailer and in all Blattner pickups and featherlite trailers for the crews. Crew

Emergency Action Plan

2.1 Pre-Emergency Planning
1. Assess hazards and make the area safe‐your safety comes first – If you cannot enter the area
without risking your safety, don’t do it, call Emergency Services immediately and wait for them.
If you think you can safety enter the area, look around the emergency scene for anything that can
be dangerous or hazardous to you, the casualty, or anyone else at the scene. Bystanders can help
with making the area safe.

2. Take charge of the situation – if you are the first‐aid provider on the scene act fast. If someone
is already in charge, briefly introduce yourself and see if that person needs any help. If there is
any chance the casualty could have a head or spinal injury, tell them not to move.

3. Get Consent – always identify yourself as a first‐aid provider and offer to help. Always ask for
consent before touching a conscious adult casualty and always ask for consent from a parent or
guardian before touching an unconscious or conscious child or infant. With an unconscious adult
casualty consent is implied as it is generally accepted that most people want to live. Remember
to protect yourself first by wearing gloves and eye protection.

4. Assess Responsiveness – is the casualty conscious or unconscious? Note their response while
you are asking them for their consent. If they respond, continue with the primary survey, and if
they don’t respond, be aware that an unconscious casualty is or has the potential of being a
breathing emergency. Employees will have an emergency contact list, allergy information, health
disorders, etc. in a plastic packing list stuck in the top of their hard hat. This will help assist
emergency personnel if the employee cannot respond.

5. Call out for help – this will attract bystanders. Help is always useful in an emergency situation.
Anytime you need help, just call out. Someone can be called over to phone for medical help.
Others can bring blankets if needed, get water, etc. a bystander can help with any of the
following:
Make the area safe.
Find all the casualties.
Find the first aid kit, or any useful medical supplies.
Control the crowd.
Call for medical help.
Help give first aid, under you direction.
Gather and protect the casualty’s belongings.
Take notes, gather information, be a witness.
Reassure the casualty’s relatives.
Lead the ambulance attendants to the scene of the emergency.
You must always notify Emergency Services as soon as you can. Either send a
bystander or call yourself.
