immediately
 Activate internal facility alarms or communication systems, where applicable, to notify
all facility personnel
 Notify appropriate local agencies with designated response roles if their help is needed
 Follow the Emergency Operations Flow Chart.
When there is a release, fire, or explosion, the emergency coordinator must immediately identify
the character, exact source, amount and a real extent of any released materials. They may do this
by observation. Concurrently, the emergency coordinator must assess possible hazards to human
health or the environment that may result from the release, fire, or explosion. This assessment
must consider both direct and indirect effects of the release, fire, or explosion.
During an emergency, the emergency coordinator must take all reasonable measures necessary to
ensure that fires, explosions, and releases do not occur, recur, or spread to other hazardous
wastes at the facility. These measures must include, where applicable, stopping processes and
operations, collecting and containing released waste, and removing or isolating containers.
If the facility stops operations in response to a fire, explosion or release, the emergency
coordinator must monitor for leaks, pressure buildup, gas generation, or ruptures in valves, pipes,
or other equipment, where it is appropriate. Immediately after an emergency, the emergency
coordinator must provide for treatment, storage, or disposal of recovered waste, contaminated
soil or surface water, or any other material that results from a release, fire, or explosion at the
facility.
