An Integrated Contingency Plan has been designed to minimize hazards to human health and the environment potentially caused by fires, explosions, natural disasters, bomb threats, and any unplanned release of hazardous material to air, soil, surface water, or groundwater at or from the facility. The provisions of this plan will be carried out whenever there is a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous material at or from the facility that could threaten human health or the environment. This plan serves as a reference document which employees, administrators, environmental managers, emergency responders, and environmental regulators are encouraged to use to learn Bates' emergency action and response, hazard communication, and oil spill prevention and response policies, procedures, and programs. This plan also provides guidance on the ways in which Bates' employees are trained on these policies and procedures. The procedures specified in this document should be implemented whenever an emergency occurs. This plan is intended to be an evolving document. As campus operations and personnel change the document will be revised accordingly. Bates College Administration fully supports the implementation of this plan, and will make available the necessary resources to carry out the provisions of this plan. Copies of the Plan are maintained at the offices of Environmental Health & Safety, Security, and Physical Plant. |
