Hazardous Waste Facility Contingency Plan

Hazardous Waste Facility Contingency Plan Revised Date: Ocober 2014 Summary/Purpose: To outline the emergency response procedures for the Hazardous Waste Central Accumulation Areas as well as other areas that use or store hazardous materials on the Jackson Campus of the University of Mississippi Medical Center. An emergency is defined as a threat to public health, safety, or welfare or the environment from fires, explosions, spills or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous material or hazardous waste to the air, soil, surface water, or ground water. When a reported incident that does not meet any of the above criteria involves the release of a hazardous material or hazardous waste in excess of the reportable quantities identified by Federal Regulations, the release will be designated as an emergency. Environmental Health and Safety personnel maintain a current listing of all reportable quantities (ranging from one to 100 pounds depending on hazard(s) of the chemical). Non-emergency: If no emergency is identified, or no reportable quantity release occurs, the hazardous material incident will be handled using appropriate sections of the Chemical Safety Manual and laboratory spill guidelines as necessary, but no state or local notification will be required. Laboratory or other small spills should be evaluated using the above criteria in determining whether an actual emergency exists. A small spill in itself may not constitute an emergency if the material is not hazardous or if the spill can easily be handled by the laboratory personnel. The provisions of this plan will be carried out immediately whenever an emergency occurs. Emergency Procedures For the purpose of this plan, responding personnel will follow these procedures during any declared emergency: i. Notification ii. iii. iv. Identification of Released Material Hazard Assessment Evacuation v. Containment and Decontamination vi. vii. Termination Emergency Equipment Notification Page 1 of 14

Whenever there is an actual or imminent emergency, such as a toxic chemical release, fire, or explosion, which has the potential to cause pollution of the air, land, or waters of the state, and/or endangering the public health and wellbeing of the surrounding community, on scene personnel will immediately contact the Haz-Mat Emergency Coordinator from Environmental Health and Safety at 601-984-1981. After hours calls may transfer over to the Physical Plant Dispatcher's office 601-984-1420 who will contact an on-call responder(s) through telephone, cell phone, radio and/or pager. The Haz-Mat Emergency Coordinator will determine whether the incident constitutes a release of a reportable quantity of hazardous material to the environment. If the incident meets a hazardous material reportable quantity requirement, or any other federally mandated reporting requirement, the Haz-Mat Emergency Coordinator may direct a representative of the University to notify (as required) one or more of the following agencies: Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality 601-961-5171 (Facility Releases) Mississippi Emergency Management Agency 800-222-6362 (Non Universal materials) Mississippi Highway Patrol 601-987-1530 (Roadway Incidents) Mississippi Division of Radiological Health 601-987-6893 (Radiological Incidents) National Response Center 800-424-8802 (Reportable Quantities) CHEMTREC 800-424-9300 (Common Carriers) Military Shipments 800-851-8061 (Military Materials) Emergency Contacts, Numbers, and Addresses Primary UMMC Emergency Coordinator Antonyraj Arockiasamy Home Phone: 662-298-2149 Office Phone: 601-984-1981 Pager: 601-929-3884 Home Address: 336 Austin Circle, Brandon, MS 39047 Secondary UMMC Emergency Coordinator Donald E.

United States Environmental Services 24-hour Emergency Number 1-888-279-9930 Jackson Fire Department 9-911 University Police 911 Arrangements made with Local and State Responders include, but are not limited to: all responders have been encouraged at any time to visit our facility to ensure they are aware of how to respond to Haz-Mat emergencies. Our local fire department works very closely with Environmental Health and Safety personnel. Our University Police Department directs our local/state police departments in the event of an emergency. United States Environmental Services, L.L.C., provide spill response, containment, cleanup, and other environmental services if we contact them. Identification of Released Materials: Whenever there is a chemical release, fire, or explosion, the Haz-Mat Emergency Coordinator must immediately identify the source and amount of material released, either through knowledge obtained from onsite personnel, Safety Data Sheets, or through personal investigation. Immediately identify the character, exact source, amount, and extent of all released materials. If a Motor Vehicle is involved, check for Shipping Papers, or other documents in the cab, note container shapes, sizes, markings, labels and placards. Identify any personnel injuries, medical requirements and evacuation routes. The potential for fire, soil and water contamination and the potential release of toxic fumes to neighboring areas must receive the highest priority. Hazard Assessment: The Haz-Mat Emergency Coordinator will concurrently assess the possible hazards to human health or the environment that may result from the release, fire, or explosion. Factors to be considered in making this assessment are as follows: 1. Direct hazards due to the release: a. Presence of flammable or corrosive vapors inside the building. b. Presence and character of releasing liquid or gas, either flammable irritant, corrosive, toxic, or asphyxiating. c. Potential for involvement of other containers in the area due to heat produced in the fire or corrosion of metal due to the release of an acid, gas, or liquid. d. Potential for Radioactive Materials contamination or exposure. 2. Indirect hazards due to the release: a. Effects of spill or fire upon human health and the environment. b. Effects of fire or spill control activities such as water runoff. Page 3 of 14

Based upon the information obtained in the assessment, the Haz-Mat Emergency Coordinator will determine whether evacuation of the building or a portion of the building is warranted. Evacuation Plan: University personnel are instructed to treat hazardous materials incidents as fire emergencies. Depending on the nature and amount of material spilled, evacuation would proceed in the same manner as a fire situation - people are instructed to alert neighbors, and attend to victims without endangering their own lives. (See http://ehs.umc.edu/documents/firesafetymanual.pdf) During a hazardous materials incident, the first police or fire officer on the scene will assume control of the situation and will become the on-scene commander. Depending upon the nature and extent of the incident, a command post may be established at the scene. The on-scene commander will transfer their authority to the first staff member from the Department of Environmental Health and Safety that arrives at the incident location. All police, fire department and other involved personnel will operate under the direction of the on-scene commander. This individual will also designate a safe location for incoming supplies and personnel, and will advise the University Police and the Physical Plant of this location. The first-arriving unit(s) will isolate the area and deny entry to the public and to all non-essential personnel. EMERGENCY AUTHORITY: During an emergency involving hazardous materials, Environmental Health and Safety personnel have the authority to commit any University resources necessary to mitigate the incident and to protect the environment. Containment and Decontamination Special containment measures are provided in areas where hazardous materials and/or hazardous waste are stored, used, or processed to collect, capture or contain any spill. Environmental Health and Safety has appropriate materials to contain and clean up most laboratory sizes spills and additional materials to plug and over pack container and drum leaks. During emergencies, the Haz-Mat Emergency Coordinator will take all reasonable measures necessary to ensure that fires, explosions, or releases do not occur, recur, or spread to other wastes stored at the site, or to storm water drains, whenever possible and without endangering human life. These measures will consist of collecting and containing spilled material and removing or isolating containers. 1. Termination a. Debrief emergency personnel and civilians involved in the incident. b. Document the incident and advise individuals involved as to the effects of exposure, properties of the materials, etc. 2.
