. Emergency response <br /> In the workplace, AutoZone employees could face two possible emergency <br /> scenarios. These potential dangers are from fire and chemical spills. Through <br /> proper training of AutoZone employees, AutoZone is committed to the prevention ; <br /> of emergency situations that may pisce the lives of AutoZoners and customers in <br /> danger. However, if an emergency should happen, an emergency action plan can <br /> be found in the store's office. This plan will have emergency phone numbers and <br /> instructions to be followed in the event of an emergency. <br /> Fire <br /> All fires, no matter how small should be treated as if the fire has the potential to <br /> grow and expand beyond control. The store will be evacuated until the fire is <br /> extinguished and the ALL CLEAR has been given. Small fires will be controlled, <br /> using ABC fire extinguishers, by shooting short bursts of the extinguishing agent <br /> at the base of the fire. All AutoZoners are trained on an annual basis on how to <br /> use the provided extinguishers in the store. In the event of a large fire, a member <br /> of management will evacuate the store and direct everyone to the assembly area <br /> if necessary. The manager, once the store has been evacuated, will notify local <br /> authorities, including the fire department and other ertiergency agencies, as <br /> needed. The Safety Dept. will be contacted immediately after the store is <br /> evacuated and emergency agencies notified. <br /> Small chemical spills <br /> (Less than 2 gallons) <br /> Any chemical spill can be dangerous. Therefore using the appropriate PPE <br /> (Personnel Protection Equipment) and the correct response material is important. <br /> Small chemical spills will be cleaned up with absorbent materials (oil dry or soda <br /> ash) using proper protective clothing (rubber gloves, splash goggles, and acid- <br /> resistant apron). AutoZone management must attempt to prevent any material or <br /> waste from reaching drains or soil. Once completely absorbed, sweep the <br /> material into a trash bag (same day process). The Safety Dept. should be <br /> contacted immediately for disposal methods. (if after hours, contact 3E at 800- <br /> 360-3220.) They will provide information on how to dispose of the spill properly. <br /> NOTE: AutoZoners will evacuate the building if any vapors, strange odor, or <br /> any extreme medical condition is experienced <br /> Large spills <br /> (More than 2 gallons) <br /> In the event that a large amount of a chemical is released, management will <br /> ensure that the store is evacuated of all customers and all AutoZoners not trained <br /> or other wise engaged in the clean up process. All AutoZone employees will wear <br /> the proper PPE while cleaning up or containing the movement of the spill. <br /> Environmental Business Plan r02003 AutoZone, bu. Al!
