Construction sites emergency plans

It shall be confirmed before the start of construction of the research reactor that no major problems are to be anticipated in the development of an off-site emergency plan prior to the start of its operation (see also the Appendix). 

I) A written plan for emergency situations shall be developed for each construction operation where there is a possibility of an emergency. The plan shall include procedures where the employer identifies emergency escape routes for his employees at each construction site before the construction operation begins. Appropriate portions of the plan shall be implemented in the event of an emergency.

Site planning and safety rules must include fire detection provisions, supply and maintenance of fire fighting equipment, control of hot work, emergency procedures in the event of fire, control of smoking on site as needed and prevention of the build-up of flammable materials in work areas and in waste skips. Adequate means of escape and access for emergency vehicles must be allowed for during all stages of construction. 

Safe Havens. When accidental releases of a toxic gas occur or threaten to occur, the immediate protection of on-site personnel is of paramount importance. One resource available for this purpose is a building or room that by the nature of its construction and its heating and ventilating characteristics can prevent the infiltration of intolerable concentrations of the toxic substance. The best location for a safe haven is determined by an engineering study. That location then is documented in the work unit and facility emergency response plans.
