    EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURE (ERP)

    Purpose

    To be aware and prepared in the event of fire, earthquake, bomb threat and civil disturbance
    and how to respond with these emergency situations. Department heads should ensure that all
    employees are familiar with the procedure to follow in the event of an emergency as outlined in the
    OCS Emergency Response Plan.

    Fire Safety and Emergency Preparedness:

    The group or individual that needs emergency response should contact the OCS
    Emergency Response Team for assistance. Other Government Agencies such as the Bureau of
    Fire Protection (BFP), Philippine National Police (PNP) must also be notified immediately, if
    necessary, thru their emergency hotline.

    The building OCS plan for all OCS offices should be posted on all workplace areas where
    employees can see.

    a. An Employee must be wary of any fire hazard. He/She shall clear and correct any
    observed fire hazard or cause the correction of the same if it is beyond his/ her capability.

    b. All employees must report to his/her immediate leader any fire hazard they observe
    in their workplace.

    c. HSE personnel must conduct regular inspection of all firefighting equipment and
    ensure that they are ready for use.

    d. All employees shall familiarize themselves with the building emergency OCS plan.

    Procedure to Follow on FIRE Emergency:

    On Hearing the alarm

    ● Upon hearing the alarm, all personnel are advised to walk calmly to the nearest emergency
    exit using the emergency staircase.

    ● Take note of the OCS Emergency Evacuation Plan posted near your workplace and follow
    the nearest exit.

    ● Do not use the elevator in case of emergency.

    ● Proceed immediately to the designated Emergency Evacuation Area and wait for
    instruction.

    ● Do not re-enter the building until emergency response officials have declared that it is safe
    to do so.

    ● If no alarm is sounded and there is a need to evacuate the building, follow instructions from
    the Emergency Response Team (ERT).

    Action on Discovering a Fire

    ● Activate the emergency alarm installed close to your location to alert all employees or call
    reception to activate the Emergency Response Team (ERT).

    ● Attempt to extinguish the fire using the nearest Portable Fire extinguisher, ONLY IF YOU
    ARE TRAINED AND IT IS SAFE TO DO SO.

    ● If there is a need to evacuate, walk calmly to the nearest emergency exit and follow the
    emergency evacuation procedure.

    Emergency Earthquake Procedures

    ● “DROP, COVER AND HOLD”. If you are not near a strong table or desk, drop to the floor
    against an interior wall and cover your head and neck with your arms.
    ● Avoid windows, hanging objects, mirrors, tall furniture, large appliances, and cabinets filled
    with heavy objects.
    ● Do not try to run out of the structure during strong shaking.
    ● Do not use elevators.
    ● For wheelchair borne employees, lock the wheels and cover your head.

    Once the earthquake shaking stops:

    ● If there is a need to evacuate the building, follow instructions from the Emergency Response
    Team (ERT).
    ● Check the people around you for injuries, provide first aid if trained. Do not move seriously
    injured persons unless they are in immediate danger.
    ● Check around you for dangerous conditions, such as fires, live cables and structure
    damage.
    ● If you have fire extinguishers and are trained to use them, put out small fires immediately.

    If you are trapped in debris:

    ● Move as little as possible so that you don’t kick up dust. Cover your nose and mouth with a
    handkerchief or clothing.
    ● Tap on a pipe or wall so that rescuers can hear where you are. Use a whistle if one is
    available. Shout only as a last resort.

    Medical Emergency Procedure

    ● Sickness, Accidents, or Injury


    1. In the event of an occupational injury or illness, every employee is required to report the
    incident promptly to their immediate leader so that the concerned employee will receive
    proper medical evaluation and treatment as needed.

    The lack of prompt attention to slight injuries may lead to more serious complications. A
    report must be made in accordance with the OCS Accident/Incident Reporting Procedure.
    The Incident will be investigated, and corrective measures will be taken to prevent the
    recurrence of similar incidents.

    2. In the event of serious injury, the injured employee’s immediate leaders will contact the First
    Aider or Company Nurse/ Doctor (if available) or the nearest hospital, if necessary, report
    the type of injury and the location of the injured employee. The injured person should only
    be attended to by a certified or professional medical practitioner.
    Any Occupational injury reported later than the shift on which it occurred will be considered
    to have been reported late. For occupational injuries that are reported late, the
    circumstances of the injury and the reason for the late report will be thoroughly investigated
    by the OCS HSE Committee.

    3. In case of employee or visitor sickness or injury, the following procedures for emergency
    action should be followed (Do this procedure if you are certified or professional First Aider):
    ● Assess the situation if it is safe to touch or attend to the victim.
    ● Make a primary survey of the victim’s condition:
    o Check for responsiveness, if conscious or not.
    o If the victim does not respond, check airway, breathing and circulation (ABC).
    o Apply Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), if needed.
    o While conducting CPR, call for emergency help.
    ▪ Call the Company Nurse/Doctor (if available) or the nearest hospital.
    ▪ The hospital, doctor and Ambulance should be informed of the following:
    ▪ The Caller’s name, location and telephone number.
    ▪ Condition of the patient and possible cause of the illness or injury.
    ▪ What First Aid is being applied? Apply necessary first aid to ease the
    suffering of the victims until medical assistance arrives.
