H. Emergency Response <br />Emergencies can come in many forms. From bomb threats to category 5 hurricanes, nearly all <br />emergencies can be survived safely with the right planning and preparation. We have several different <br />types of work areas that our employees occupy during any given moment of the workday: <br />■Lantana office <br />• Fort Pierce office <br />■ Lantana shop <br />■ Lantana yard <br />• Various field sites with unverifiable storm shelter locations <br />• Employees traveling over the road <br />While some areas leave personnel more vulnerable during an emergencythan others, all of the areas <br />listed above, if the right procedure is used, can be made safe during most, if not all emergency <br />situations. The preservation of life is the primary consideration of all emergency response activities, the <br />preservation of property follows. Consequently, all emergency response plans should be developed and <br />carried out in such a manner as to minimize risk to emergency response personnel and Johnson — Davis <br />employees. More often than not, any plan that focuses on the securement of loose tools, materials or <br />other shop/yard items will greatly improve the safety of individuals seeking Shelter In Place (SIP) during <br />an emergency. <br />Shelter In Place (SIP) — Is a program that tailors it's components to ensure that employee's whose best <br />course of action during an emergency Is to seek safe shelter where they are currently located. This type <br />of program is best suited to our business because it helps us address the dynamics of the different work <br />areas described above in creating a comprehensive plan that: <br />Is simple in its design <br />° Logically assigns responsibilities during an emergency <br />Is easily understood and implemented by all personnel <br />Addresses all work area locations <br />Accounts for the safety of all personnel <br />Addresses the protection of company property <br />20 <br />
