Training <br /> <br />Before the onset of each phase of the works, the workers must be informed as to its correct <br />implementation and how to prevent the inherent risks it entails. <br />Likewise, everybody involved in the project must receive occupational health and safety training in <br />terms of their own immediate needs and in accordance with the specific job they are going to do. <br /> <br />1.3.3. Preventive Medicine and First Aid <br /> <br />First Aid Kit <br />Each of the workers' huts/facilities must be equipped with a first aid kit, and each of the works <br />vehicles/machines must carry a portable first aid kit in order to ensure that the different work areas <br />have one to hand. These kits must contain the regulation materials and be checked once a month, <br />with anything used being replaced immediately. <br /> <br />Caring for Accident Victims <br />Everybody involved with the project must be informed with respect to the different healthcare <br />centers to which accident victims must be taken in order to receive the fastest and most effective <br />treatment. First call is to 911 to report any serious emergency. <br /> <br />A list of all the telephone numbers and addresses of the healthcare centers allocated for casualties <br />must be clearly displayed on site in order to guarantee that any possible accident victims can be <br />taken there with a minimum of delay. <br /> <br />1.3.4. How to act in the event of an emergency <br /> <br />The emergency action plan defines the sequence of actions that need to be implemented in order to <br />initially control any emergency situations that might occur in light of the human and material <br />resources available, and the type of activity being carried out. <br /> <br />FIRE <br />This type of emergency can result in three different situations: <br />➢ Incipient Fire: This is a fire that can be simply and quickly controlled and dealt with by the <br />personnel and resources on site: fire extinguishers and fire hoses (tanker truck). <br /> <br />➢ Localized Fire: This is a fire that, although it only affects the site, cannot be controlled by <br />those working there requiring, as it does, the presence of a specialized fire-fighting team <br />using specific equipment (the telephone numbers of the different emergency services are <br />attached to the end of this chapter). In this event everybody must be evacuated from the <br />site.
