RA Task Assessment 

Description: Visual Aids: Risk

Score: 

This SRA is to be reviewed in conjunction with the GEHC site specific Safety Plan (SSP). This SRA is to provide an overview of site emergency response procedures and any potential fire, explosion,
health, or safety hazards of the operation and protective measures planned for a site.

All employees, subcontractors and visitors entering a construction site will be required to read and verify compliance with the provisions of the CHASP. In addition, employees, subcontractors and
visitors will be expected to comply with relevant regulatory requirements such as training and personal protective equipment (PPE).

Supplementary Information 

Required Work Permits: Emergency Procedures:

Construction site notifications and permits will be established based on regulatory requirements for the site/jurisdiction. Emergency Response will be dependent on the site and included in the site specific Safety Plan (SSP). Ensure awareness of the
emergency contact/notificaiton system; map of evacuation routes from the site and route to nearest medical facilities.

Generally:

Pre-Emergency Planning

-During the site briefings, all employees will be trained in and reminded of provisions of the emergency response plan,
communication systems, and evacuation routes.

Evacuation Routes/Procedures

-In the event of an emergency, which necessitates an evacuation of the site, the following alarm procedures will be implemented:

1 -Evacuate and gather personnel at a predetermined assembly area (relocate if necessary)

2 - Call 9-1-1 or the appropriate emergency contact for assistance.

3 - Perform head count to verify all personnel are present.

4 - Notify Regional Safety Coordinator/Project Manager.

Pre-use Inspections: Emission Control Bypass:

Preventative Maintenance: Pre-Activity Coordination for Task Teams:

N/A When this task involves two or more individuals working as a team, this team shall perform a last minute mini review of the risk
assessment and conduct pre-activity coordination ('Take 2') before starting the activity.
