Page 14 of 22 <br /> <br /> <br />The Driver or Machine Operator must: <br />➢ Remain calm, even if their tires begin to burn. <br />➢ Remain at their control or within the cab, due to the fact that there they are in no danger of <br />electrocution. Attempts must then be made free the machine/vehicle from the power line and <br />take it to a safe area. <br />➢ Warn everybody in the vicinity not to touch the machine/vehicle. <br />➢ Not get off/out of the machine/vehicle until it has been removed to a safe distance from the <br />power line. If the driver/operator gets off/out they enter an overhead power line - <br />machine/vehicle-ground circuit and are therefore exposed to the danger of electrocution. <br />➢ Not use the habitual means of getting off/out if it is impossible to separate the <br />machine/vehicle and absolutely necessary. Instead, they must jump as far as they possibly can <br />away from the machine/vehicle and avoid touching it. <br /> <br />General Rules of Action <br />➢ Do not touch the machine/vehicle or the fallen power line. <br />➢ Warn everybody in the vicinity not to touch the machine/vehicle or the power line and not <br />to do anything reckless. <br />➢ Warn everybody outside the danger area not to come near the machine/vehicle. <br />➢ The victim must not be given first aid until the machine/vehicle and the electricity power line <br />have been separated and pulled out of the danger area. <br /> <br /> <br />What to do in the Event of a Gas Leak involving the Risk of Fire or Explosion: <br /> <br />➢ In the event of an uncontrolled gas leak where there exists a risk of fire or explosion, <br />everybody must evacuate the area affected, the area must then be cordoned off and nobody <br />apart from employees of the installation company must be allowed into the area in question. <br /> <br />➢ If a gas main is accidentally broken or there is a suspicion of a gas leak (sound, smell, etc.), the <br />gas supply company must be notified immediately. <br /> <br />What to do in the Event of a Broken or Leaking Water Main: <br /> <br />➢ The installation company must be immediately notified and all works halted until the main <br />has been repaired. <br /> <br />➢ If necessary, the area must be cordoned off. <br /> <br />➢ C.5.-What to do in the Event of a Broken Underground or Overhead Telephone Cable: <br /> <br />➢ The operator must be immediately notified so that it can be repaired. <br /> <br />
