If a worker is showing signs of distress or obvious injury or illness, the CSO shall be immediately
notified and provided the following information:
1. Location of victim
2. Nature of Emergency
3. Whether the victim is conscious
4. Specific details regarding the injury or illness
5. Whether the victim is in need of decontamination
The CSO will suspend work within the immediate area until the emergency situation has been
corrected. If possible the subcontractors' first aid attendant shall treat the injured employee as
necessary until a decision is made to seek outside medical assistance or to remove the victim from
the Building.
The CSO will be responsible for calling 911 and will inform the First Responders whether asbestos
abatement activities are taking place within the Building, and whether or not the injured employee
has been brought through the decontamination chamber.
16.4.1 Life-Threatening and/or Otherwise Serious Incident
If a life-threatening incident occurs, those persons recognizing the situation should do
whatever actions that are within their capabilities to reduce the threat and then the
Contractor CSO shall be contacted. The Contractor CSO shall immediately notify the
Emergency Medical Services (EMS-911) and implement emergency action procedures to
have someone meet and guide EMS to the incident location. The Contractor shall be
notified of the incident as early as possible.
The Contractor CSO shall be kept apprised of the situation and the location of the victim(s).
As the Contractor CSO proceeds to the accident scene, communications channels shall be
opened and kept on standby until the Contractor CSO has surveyed the scene and performed
a primary survey of the victim.
The Contractor CSO shall provide emergency action guidance consistent with the injury and
shall relay the appropriate information to the site person meeting the EMS. Depending on
the nature of the injury and the location at which the injury occurred, the Contractor CSO
shall determine whether the person can be moved or whether the EMS team will need to
come into the work area to assist the victim. Should the victim be injured in the EZ, all
appropriate life-saving methods shall be exercised in that area before attempting
decontamination of the victim. The extent of emergency decontamination performed shall
depend on the severity of the injury or illness and the nature of the contamination. If the
emergency is such that emergency decontamination cannot be performed safely, the victim
shall be given necessary first-aid treatment and wrapped in a blanket prior to transportation
by EMS. If heat stress is a factor in a victim's injury/illness, all protective clothing shall be
removed from the victim immediately.
