Turn on exhaust fan, close the door and leave the chlorine area <br /> immediately. <br /> B. RADIO. Radio the Fire Department and the supervisor of the Public Works <br /> Department. <br /> State: <br /> 1. Your location. <br /> 2. Apparent nature and probable urgency of the problem. <br /> 3. Call for a Fire backup unit and an additional chlorine respirator. <br /> C. WAIT. Wait outside for backup. <br /> While waiting: <br /> 1. Check that the emergency respirator at the scene is working <br /> properly. <br /> 2. Determine if danger is sufficient to warrant evacuating the <br /> surrounding area. <br /> D. Take no action which necessitates entering a chlorine area until a backup <br /> • unit with a properly functioning chlorine respirator is standing by at the <br /> scene (not merely on the way). <br /> Scope: <br /> This standard applies to the individual City employee who may come upon a <br /> potential chlorine hazard lacking the proper equipment, training, or backup <br /> personnel to safely cope with the situation. <br /> Definition: <br /> Any time chlorine is detected where it should not be, constitutes a hazard until <br /> proven otherwise. <br /> Limitation: <br /> This standard applies only to the immediate "first detection" of a potential chlorine <br /> problem, prior to the availability of properly equipped personnel. <br /> CITY OF ST.
