FIRE EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROGRAM

7.0 Preferred Means of Reporting a Fire Emergency
Emergencies are to be reported promptly. One should use one of the following methods
of reporting, whichever will produce the quickest and most effective
response:
Call the emergency telephone numbers posted at the jobsite.
CALL 911.
Call or otherwise notify the Emergency Coordinator or his/her designee.
Utilize any of the appropriate methods as outlined in the previous section,
Alarm System.
If emergency services are needed, 911 can be dialed by any employee to summon these
services. It is preferable that 911 be dialed from a land line or house telephone (including
the
public pay telephones) and not a cellular telephone whenever possible so that the call
can be more easily traced and responded to via
the emergency services' computer
system.
The employee who dialed 911 is to notify a Supervisor immediately so that the Supervisor
or
Emergency Coordinator can activate the alarm system if it has not already been
activated.
