9) Alternate courses of action. <br /> Response operations will usually occur in two distinct, but often overlapping, stages once the <br /> incident evaluation and subsequent notification is complete. The first stage consists of those <br /> actions taken by the First Responder immediately after the notification phase. The second <br /> stage of operations consists of coordinated site-wide actions taken to successfully resolve a <br /> situation by multiple response personnel or external support services. Actions taken by the <br /> First Responder may or may not, successfully resolve the emergency at the Stage I level of <br /> operations. If the First Responder can successfully resolve the situation,then the second stage <br /> of operations will terminate with the mobilization of site personnel during the notification <br /> phase. If the First Responder cannot successfully resolve the situation, or if the situation is <br /> beyond the First Responder's capabilities toresolve, then the second stage of response <br /> operations will continue through field response actions until a successful resolution of the <br /> emergency situation has occurred. <br /> General guidelines for First Responder and multiple responder operations are provided below. <br /> Operational guidelines for specific types of incidents are attached as appendices to this section <br /> with HazMat response guidelines organized according to the respective USDOT hazard class <br /> of the material. The hazardous materials in use and stored on-site are listed in the HazMat <br /> Table attached to this procedure. <br /> Responders should always attempt to de-energize electrical equipment and eliminate ongoing <br /> leak or spill sources(re: closing valves, etc.),both prior to and during operations,if the <br /> responder(s) will not be exposed to an unwarranted level of risk while doing so. <br /> The prompt containment of spilled materials, or the containment of fires to a limited area, is a <br /> primary goal of any field response action during these types of emergency situations. Limiting <br /> thearea impacted by a spill or a fire will significantly reduce the level of cleanup required after <br /> the response is over. <br /> The use of proper personal protection equipment (PPE)is mandatory during response <br /> operations.The type of PPE used will depend on the type of HazMat involved and the <br /> Revenue Mine May 2021 Rule 8-8 <br />
