Colorado Stone Quarries, Inc. will train all of its employees who will <br />be involved in off site activities, which includes at this time, the haul truck operators and <br />personnel involved in driving company vehicles off site. In addition, all employees, <br />whether employed at the quarry or in off-site activities, will receive training and <br />information regarding personal and public safety in commuting to and from the quarry <br />site. Emphasis will be placed on courteous and safe operation of company and personal <br />vehicles, in particular along the steep quarry access road between the town of Marble and <br />the quarry. Each employee will be required to not only receive the training, but must <br />demonstrate proficiency in the application of training through practical exercises and/or <br />testing. <br />Communications Plan <br />In any emergency, an effective communications plan is essential to securing, and <br />coordinating the entities involved in the response actions. This section of the emergency <br />response plan describes the communication systems and the procedures for using such <br />systems in emergency situations. <br />Communication Facilities <br />Primary communication facilities at the quarry site will be provided by two way <br />radio to the telephone interconnect in Marble. Telephone calls to the array of emergency <br />services will occur through the two way radio system In addition, two way radios will <br />be installed in all Sierra vehicles. These will operate on an established frequency for <br />routine communications at the quarry and along the access road. <br />Radios will be installed in all contractor operated haul trucks and will be tuned to <br />the same operating frequency (152.99 mHz) as the Gunnison and Roaring Fork school <br />district buses. A standardized communication protocol between the truck operators and <br />the buses will be established to avoid operating conflicts along the common areas of the <br />haul route. <br />During an on or off site emergency, the radios will only be allowed to be used for <br />emergency related and essential communications. At all other times the use of vehicle <br />radios shall be limited to business purposes since operation of a radio can be an <br />=annecessary distraction to the safe operation of the vehicle. <br />16
