INTRODUCTION:
This procedure establishes requirements applicable to all employees in
Lufkin in the office, free zone, call- out groups or any locations managed
by Lufkin. This is part of planning for the worst to be prepared for injury
or accident mitigation when happened.
Since emergencies will occur, preplanning is necessary to prevent possible
disaster. An urgent need for rapid decisions, shortage of time, and lack of
resources and trained personnel can lead to chaos during an emergency.
Time and circumstances in an emergency mean that normal channels of
authority and communication cannot be relied upon to function routinely.
The stress of the situation can lead to poor judgment resulting in severe
losses.
Regular testing of the plan identifies its strengths and weaknesses and
allows for correction and revision. Above all, the emergency plan and any
associated response requirements must lead to an organized response to
any anticipated emergency situation. In addition the emergency plan
promotes safety awareness and shows the organization's commitment to
the safety of workers. Drill test should be done twice per year and false
alarm should be taken into consideration.

Category 1:
The injured employee is conscious and can answer questions regarding
the injury. The injured employee states that it is not serious and does
not require immediate medical attention; it does not or probably will not
require a doctor to examine the injured employee. Example: An
employee slips while climbing off the truck and hits his arm on the
truck bed hits his buttocks on the ground, or twists his ankle.
Category 2:
The injured employee is conscious and can answer questions about his
injury and the accident or cause of injury. The injured employee feels
he is in pain and can be transported by the driver to a medical facility
and be examined and treated by a doctor. In other words, he can wait
a few minutes. Example: An employee is hit in the hand, arm, or leg by
a piece of equipment during loading or unloading or is suddenly sprung
loose, by a hammer being used by another employee. There is a good
chance of broken bones but the employee can wait until transported to
the doctor. The delay in transporting cannot exceed 30 minutes.

All persons must receive basic H2S training by QHSE manager and they
should have valid & current training card that they have already received
this orientation. Training card will be issued to each person completing
the basic H2S training. This card will remain valid for 2 years, following
which the person must retake the basic H2S training.
Each location shall prepare its own procedures based on local conditions
and incidence of the gas. Some location has H2S more than 10 PPM while
other location doesn’t have.
No person shall enter an area where H2S concentrations are known or
suspected to be greater than 10 parts per million (ppm) by volume in air at
the employees' breathing zone without wearing proper supplied air
respiratory protective equipment.
In the event that someone is overcome by H2S, Lufkin Service’s policy is
as follows:
1. Contact the supervisor or dispatcher to start help on the way to you.
Should you not call first upon finding a victim and you are overcome
as well, no one would know about the emergency and both victims
would not be found until either late that day or even the next
morning.
2. In the event of a gas leak, run crosswind first and then upwind. If
you are downwind of the leak and you run upwind, you will put
yourself in the middle of the leak (so running upwind is not always
the first direction to run).
