situations that could occur at the District. The attachments provide additional details for various types of emergencies.
• District management staff person in charge of the operation where the emergency
incident has occurred will act as temporary Incident Command (IC) for the incident, until a District designated IC arrives on the scene.
5
SSP 1-10
• The City of Marina Department of Public Safety is the lawfully designated agency to respond to emergencies at the District site.
• The California Highway Patrol (CHP), as provided by state law, will respond to
vehicle accidents.
• All District staff will cooperate and support the responding emergency rescue personnel.
• Water rescues are conducted in accordance with SSP 1-09 Water Safety Program.
NOTE: A small airport is located approximately 2-3 miles from MRWMD. Although the likelihood of an airplane crash is rare, in such event 9-1-1 will be notified. If the crash causes employees or Public personnel to be placed in danger, emergency evacuation procedures will be initiated. Initial Emergency Notification Emergency Notification at MRWMD can be initiated in two ways: • Activating the pull alarms located near the exit doors within the main buildings; • A call out over the two-way radios notifying individuals within a specific area to
evacuate.
The first employee to arrive on the scene of an emergency must: • Immediately contact an area supervisor/manager. • Upon determining that the incident involves an emergency, the supervisor/manager
instructs Base Station (Scales) using a two-way radio to immediately contact 911 and request assistance.
• Scales personnel will call 9-1-1 via a landline which provides a faster & more direct way to obtain local emergency services.
Initial Emergency Notification In the event of an emergency, follow these steps:
1. Stay calm. Do not panic. 2. Notify an area supervisor or manager who will notify Base Station (Scales) of
the emergency via two-way radio 3. When in doubt, always Call 9-1-1 for Outside Emergency Services 4. Explain the nature of the emergency; provide the following information based
upon type of incident: ILLNESS What are the symptoms? Is the employee conscious? Identify the employee. Do not move employee. Encourage bystanders to return to their work areas. Stay with the employee until help arrives. INJURY What body area seems most affected? What is the condition of the employee? Identify the employee.
6
SSP 1-10
Do not move employee. Encourage bystanders to return to their work areas. Stay with the employee until help arrives. FIRE Where is the fire? Is it just smoke or are flames showing? Have people been evacuated? CHEMICAL What type of chemical spilled? How large is the spill? Is the spill in a confined/contained area? Are any personnel effected?
5. State exact location. 6. Give the extension number and building address you are calling from. 7. Provide information to the IC or designee to file incident/accident report.
In addition, be prepared to state how and when the incident occurred and give as much information as you currently know about the emergency. If emergency is not putting you at risk, stay on the phone until 9-1-1 dispatch or Base Station instructs you to hang up. If at any time, you believe you are at risk from a safety standpoint due to the emergency, relay this to the 911 operator or Base Station and leave the area/building immediately. Upon the arrival of outside emergency services (e.g., the local Fire or Police Department), the lead agency’s on-scene commander has authority to take over command of the emergency. Although the outside agency may assume control of the scene, a representative from MRWMD may be asked to assist incident command with information on the MRWMD operations. Additional regulatory notifications may be required based on the type and severity of the incident. The General Manager, Director of Engineering & Compliance, Senior Engineer, or Director of Operations will contact the necessary agencies to file the report. Emergency Evacuation Procedures This section provides procedures to evacuate employees, customers, tenants, contractors, neighbors, and the Public to a safe location in the event of major emergency. Protection of human life always takes precedence over all other considerations. The IC has the responsibility for coordinating the emergency evacuation. Refer to Attachment #2, for the emergency muster locations, where District employees shall assemble after a building evacuation to conduct a roll call.
7
SSP 1-10
Evacuation Signal Two-way radios are used to alert personnel to evacuate a building, a general area, or the entire site. Managers & supervisors that carry District radios assist in the evacuation of employees and the Public by verbally directing personnel to the appropriate muster location. The Administration building, the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) or the Last Chance Mercantile (LCM), all have fire alarm pull boxes that shall be used to activate the evacuation alarm located at these buildings. Refer to the posted building floor plans for the locations of emergency exits, fire extinguishers, and fire alarm pull boxes. Muster Locations All persons shall muster for a roll call at the pre-designated emergency evacuation muster zones indicated in Attachment #2. Pre-designated muster locations will be used if it is a sufficient distance away and upwind from the emergency incident. If the primary muster location isn’t safe, the IC or their designee will determine alternate muster locations as appropriate. District employees shall not leave their Muster Location until, the RCD has accounted for all employees in coordination with the RCCs and the “All clear, notification” has been given by the IC. Members of the Public should not be allowed to leave the site until: • Names and telephone numbers have been obtained by the RCC in their muster
zone; • Dismissal is approved by the IC. Evacuation/Emergency Egress Routes During an emergency evacuation, evacuees should never move through a gas cloud or contaminated area. The IC shall determine an appropriate alternate emergency evacuation route(s) to be followed for the incident as necessary. Evacuation of Local Population Emergency response agency personnel from the City/County/State will determine if the evacuation of neighboring properties or the City of Marina is required. All Clear Signal The IC will announce, over the two-way radio or verbally at a meeting of all employees, that all is clear and personnel may return to work.
8
SSP 1-10
Site-wide Evacuation without Mustering The Incident Commander could determine that it is necessary to evacuate with site without mustering first. If this type of incident occur, District supervisory personnel shall contact their direct employees via phone to ensure that they have evacuated the site. District supervisor personnel would then report the results to the RCD via cell phone. 4. EMERGENCY RESPONSE EQUIPMENT Absorbent Materials The District maintains an appropriate supply of absorbent materials, such as kitty litter (clay pellets), absorption booms, socks, and mats for use in facilitating cleanup of hazardous materials spills. Emergency Eyewash & Shower Stations Emergency eyewash and shower stations are in the Maintenance shop, the MRF, the Administration building, the Landfill Gas (LFG) building, and the HHW building. Fire Protection System A 90,000-gallon dedicated water storage tank, and an additional 10,000-gallon water storage tank provide adequate fire protection water for site facilities. The Administration building, LCM, LFG and the MRF, are protected against the threat of fire by a fire suppression sprinkler system, and a fire alarm system. Fire hydrants located around site buildings provide further protection. In addition, portable fire extinguishers are in all site buildings and in most vehicles and mounted on heavy equipment. Other fire-fighting equipment includes an 8,000-gallon water wagon and a 3,000-gallon water truck, equipped with a fire monitor. On-site soil from the sand pit operation is also available to smother a fire on the tipping floor of the MRF or at the landfill, if necessary. First Aid Kits First aid kits are in most District vehicles, the Landfill Spotter Station and the following buildings: Administration, LCM (Last Chance Mercantile) Shop and MRF Building. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) PPE (such as goggles, safety boots, gloves, chemical resistant coverall suits, safety vests, respirators, hard hats, hearing protection, etc.) is kept in storage rooms in the Administration building, the MRF, and the HHW building. Only employees that are annually fit-tested and trained to wear respirators are permitted to wear respirators.

All Other Medical Emergency -
The IC shall notify qualified personnel so that the appropriate emergency first aid can be administered as necessary to preserve human life prior to the arrival of emergency rescue personnel. • Several District employees receive training in CPR and First Aid and are
qualified to respond on a voluntary basis, see Attachment #6. EMERGENCY SITUATIONS: 9-1-1 Emergency Calls: If there is a reasonable belief that a person needs emergency medical treatment, call 9-1-1. The 9-1-1 Emergency Dispatcher will ask questions to assess the critical needs of the situation and initiate a response. Victim Care: The victim shall be asked for their permission before first-aid is rendered. It is advisable to not offer the victim(s) water, beverage, or food as this may contradict
17
SSP 1-10
the treatment to be rendered by the emergency responders or subsequent medical providers. Emergency Assistance: Seek assistance from others nearby in tending the victim and in calling for emergency help. Be sure that 9-1-1 has been called. Stay with the victim. Upon arrival of the emergency responders, provide information that may help them provide care. Rendering Aid: The average citizen is not obligated to provide medical assistance or attempt the rescue of others in peril. District employees are not emergency medical responders and are not personally obligated to provide medical assistance to co-workers or the Public. • Employees trained by the District in First Aid/CPR/AED may act as a Good
Samaritan to aid while on duty in accordance with their training and such assistance will be regarded to be within the course and scope of employment.
Good Samaritan: Be advised that the term "Good Samaritan" is generally applied to urgent medical circumstances requiring immediate action at the scene of the emergency. • First-aid decisions should be based on what a reasonable and prudent person would
do in similar circumstances. Reporting of Injuries: All injuries including exposure to blood or bodily fluids, no matter how slight, shall be reported to management and/or other person(s) designated by management. Incident report forms are to be completed by the employee’s immediate supervisor in accordance with District procedures, See Attachment #4. UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS: Communicable Disease: First-Aid/CPR may present the possibility of contact with body fluids.
First Aid providers shall follow the universal precautions advised by the American Red Cross to prevent exchange of body fluids. Report any suspected body fluid exposure to your supervisor. PERSONAL MEDICATION: Issuing Medications Prohibited: Employees may have medications including prescription or over-the-counter remedies for their own personal consumption.
These products should never be offered or shared with co-workers or customers. Even simple medical compounds such as aspirin may have an adverse effect on some people under certain circumstances. Only licensed medical professionals may dispense medications. Personal Medications On-Hand: Employees should be encouraged to keep personal prescribed medications on hand in a secure place (i.e. insulin, cardiac medications) for ready availability in the event of an emergency.
18
SSP 1-10
Departments may implement procedures to assist employees in this effort to keep the prescriptions available at work if confidentiality of the information and storage security is assured. There is no obligation for the employer to store, purchase or provide personal non-prescription medications under normal business circumstances. Note: In accordance with District policy, employees that are taking medications that might impair their ability to perform their duties shall inform their supervisor in order that safety can be maintained in the workplace; such information shall be on a “need to know” basis and treated as a confidential matter. TRANSPORT OF ILL/INJURED EMPLOYEE: Emergency Transport: Seriously ill or injured persons are to be transported by ambulance or emergency vehicle. Rare extenuating circumstances are recognized that may require transport by other means. Non-emergency Transport: When an employee is not feeling well and cannot drive or use their normal commute transportation, a family member shall be called or a taxi should be utilized for transport to their home/destination.
Providing transport via a personal vehicle without management authorization “as a favor” may become a serious problem if the condition of the person deteriorates, the person may become violently ill or pass out, or the driver may get lost, stuck in traffic or have a motor vehicle accident that delays treatment for the ill person. District Vehicle Transport: If authorized by department management to transport an employee due to a work-related illness or injury, a District vehicle with radio or cell phone is to be used; and at least one other employee shall accompany the driver. This requirement provides ability for the driver to communicate if conditions change and an emergency response is needed. Staff Instructions: Department managers shall provide specific instructions to staff as to what will be required in circumstances involving the decision to provide transport of ill or injured persons.

Updated 9/1/2017
MRWMD employees are not emergency medical responders nor are personally obligated to provide medical assistance to co-workers or the Public.
Employees trained by the District in First Aid/CPR/AED certification may act as a Good Samaritan to provide assistance while on duty in accordance with their training and such assistance will be regarded to be within the course and scope of employment.
Good Samaritan: Be advised that the term “Good Samaritan” is generally applied to urgent medical circumstances requiring immediate action at the scene of the emergency. First Aid decisions should be based on what a “Reasonable and Prudent Person” would do in similar circumstances.
To ensure coverage for all areas, District employees are assigned a primary coverage area due to their close proximity and/or transportation availability to a given area of the site. This is not intended to limit the trained First Aid/CPR/AED employees from providing assistance as necessary to other areas of the site.
Remember: No function at MRWMD is so critical as to require or justify a compromise of safety and health.

ATTACHMENT 14 – Workplace Violence Revised 10/13/2017 In dealing with an irrational or potentially violent person in the workplace, employees shall handle the situation as an emergency and take the following actions: 1. Stop what you are doing and give your full attention to the situation. 2. Make eye contact with the individual. 3. Speak in a calm voice and create a relaxed environment. 4. Be open and honest. 5. Let the person have his/her say, to vent the anger as needed to diffuse the
situation. 6. Ask for specific examples of what the person is upset about and show that you
understand his/her point of view. 7. Ask open-ended questions and explore all sides of the issue. 8. If the situation escalates out of control, back away and notify a supervisor and/or
one of the six incident commanders listed in Attachment #1. 9. If a criminally violent act has taken place, request Base station to notify 9-1-1,
who will dispatch the Monterey County Sheriff Department.
ACTIVE SHOOTER – Following Information from Homeland Security An Active Shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined & populated area; in most cases, active shooters use firearms(s) and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims. Active shooter situations are unpredictable & evolve quickly. Because active shooter situations are often over within 10 to 15 minutes, before law enforcement arrives on the scene, individuals must be prepared both mentally and physically to deal with an active shooter situation. Good practices for coping with an active shooter situation • Be aware of your environment and any possible dangers • ALWAYS Take note of the two nearest exits in any area/facility you visit • If you are in an office, stay there & secure the door. • If you are in a hallway, get into a room & secure/barricade the door. • As a last resort, attempt to take the active shooter down. When the shooter is at
close range and you cannot flee, your chance of survival is much greater if you try to incapacitate him/her.
• CALL 9-1-1 When it is safe to do so.
NOTE: MRWMD Supervisory staff are required to review the details on Workplace Violence as documented found in SSP 1-03 MRWMD Workplace Violence Policy. END OF ATTACHMENT #14

ATTACHMENT 17 – Shelter-in-Place Emergency Revised 9/1/2017 What Shelter-in-Place Means: One of the instructions you may be given in an emergency where hazardous materials may have been released into the atmosphere is to shelter-in-place. This is a precaution aimed to keep you safe while remaining indoors. Why You Might Need to Shelter-in-Place: Chemical, biological, or radiological contaminants may have been accidentally released into the environment. If this should this occur, information will be provided by the IC via two-way radios. The IC will make the determination to shelter-in-place, rather than to evacuate to Muster Locations. Should this occur, the following actions will occur during this emergency:
• Close the business. • If there are customers or visitors, District staff will provide for their safety by
asking them to stay – not leave, but will direct them to areas within nearby buildings. Such as the following areas:
• Administration Building Board Room • Shop Building Lunch Room • Last Chance Mercantile Retail Store • MRF Training/Lunch Room
• Unless there is an imminent threat, ask employees, customers, clients, and
visitors to call their emergency contact to let them know where they are and that they are safe.
• Secure all windows, exterior doors, and any other openings to the outside. • If you are told there is danger of explosion, close the window shades, blinds, or
curtains and move away from windows. • Maintenance staff will be instructed to shut-down building’s mechanical systems
turn off all fans, heating and air conditioning systems. Systems automatically provide for exchange of inside air with outside air – these systems need to be turned off, sealed, or disabled.
Shelter-In-Place - In Your Vehicle: If you are driving a vehicle and hear advice to “shelter-in-place” on the radio, take these
steps:
• If you are very close to a building, go there immediately and go inside.
38
SSP 1-10
• If you are unable to get inside building quickly and safely, then pull over to the side
of the road.
• Stop your vehicle in the safest place possible. If it is sunny outside, it is preferable
in a shady spot, to avoid becoming overheated.
• Turn off the engine.
• Close windows and vents.
• If possible, seal the heating/air conditioning vents with rags/ duct tape.
• Listen to the two-way radio for instructions from the IC.
• Notify the IC of your location via two-way radio.
• Stay where you are until you are told it is safe to get back on the road by the IC.
