HAZMAT TEAM www.hcienv.com www.hcidecon.com Work Plan In regards to the management and response to the customers needs, the following steps will be taken with respect to the Scope of Work. Emergency Situation: When a hazardous material incident occurs, attention must be paid to the prevention of the hazardous material spreading and unnecessary contamination of the spill location, environment and property. Containment is the prevention or reduction of the continuing spread of hazardous materials by various means. However, the first priority is to protect personnel. Containment methods include berming, use of absorbents, covering, damming and using jelling agents. Berming, curbing or diking with available materials prevents further spread of the materials or directs the flow of the materials in a more desired direction. Control is the act of preventing more discharge of hazardous material, usually from the source. Control methods include repairing leaks, closing valves, capping discharge materials, solidifying, plugging, patching or any other effective control method applicable during the response to the incident which may reduce or stop the flow. Control activities may require the personnel to enter the high risk area called the "exclusionary zone" to conduct control activities. This requires wearing chemically protective clothing and equipment which can make the task of control more difficult to achieve. Only trained, workers can conduct "safe" control techniques. x • HCI receives live operator calls 24 hours a day 7 days a week • HCI requests type and quantity of material spilled and address of spill location • HCl dispatches a Project Manager and appropriate personnel to spill location with equipment truck and necessary spill containment supplies to be on -site with -in one to two hours • When HCl arrives onsite, the spill situation will be assessed, account for and ensure the safety of all people, isolate the area and, if possible, stop the flow of product.
