  14. New Emergency Action and Fire Prevention Plan (EAFPP) • Why: • Needed to update existing Building Evacuation Plan to also include the Fire Prevention Plan regulations. • Plan Complies with Title 8, Section 3220 & 3221

  15. New Emergency Action and Fire Prevention Plan (EAFPP) • How it works: • Fill in just like the old Building Evacuation Plan or IIPP • Adds fire prevention information to the plan • Additional responsibilities to some employees during an emergency • Lists of emergency equipment location and maintenance • Your goal: Complete new EAFPP by Jan. 2011 • We will help you in anyway we can!!!

  16. Summary of CE Program Reviews • The Safety Program Review complies with Cal-OSHA Injury and Illness Prevention Program requirements. (CCR/Title 8, Section 3203) • This summary addresses program reviews conducted by the ANR EH&S office between January 2009 and July 2010. • Nine CE facilities were visited with a total of 108 violations/discrepancies observed during the reviews.

  17. Summary of CE Program Reviews • The top 5 violations observed are: • POSTINGS • A. Evacuation Map without contacts included • B. Tractor operator rules not posted • C. No warning sign for low voltage fence posted

  22. Summary of CE Program Reviews • CONCLUSION: • ANR EH&S has a goal of providing a program review at each CE facility every five years • Please make a request if your office would like to have EH&S conduct additional annual program reviews • Remember…A program review is required at least annually by Cal-OSHA • You can use the forms from the ANR EH&S website to conduct an annual program review

  23. Heat Illness Prevention Update • From 1991 through 2000, approximately 2,000 heat-related fatalities occurred and about 25,000 heat-related illness occurred during the same time • In order to reduce our exposure to a potential heat-related illness, and comply with regulations, any employee who works outdoors needs the following: • Written plans and training materials related to heat illness • Training on the signs, symptoms and risk factors for heat illness • Access to a shaded area • Access to drinking water (one quart per employee per hour)

  24. Heat Illness Prevention Update • CCR/8-3395: Heat Illness Prevention in Outdoor Places of Employment • The Cal/OSHA Standards Board has adopted recommended revisions to the state heat illness prevention standard • The revisions include: • “Shade up” provisions when temperatures reach 85oF and “high-heat” procedures at 95oF • Clarifies what constitutes a “shade break” and creates exemptions from the shade-up for employers for whom it is not feasible to provide an alternative

  25. Heat Illness Prevention Update • SHADE UP provisions are required when the temperature exceeds 85oF • The employer shall have and maintain one or more areas with shade at all times while employees are present • The amount of shade present shall be at least enough to accommodate 25% of the employees on the shift at any time • Employees must be able to sit in a normal posture fully in the shade without having to be in physical contact each other • The shade area shall be located as close as practicable to where employees are working

  26. Heat Illness Prevention Update • HIGH-HEAT procedures shall be implemented when the temperature equals or exceeds 95oF and include the following: • Ensuring that effective communication by voice, or electronic means is maintained at the work site to contact a supervisor when necessary • Reminding employees during the work shift to drink plenty of water • Close supervision of new employees by a supervisor or designee for the first 14 days of employment • REMEMBER • Employees shall be allowed and encouraged to take a cool-down rest in shade for a period of no less than five minutes at a time when they feel the need to do so

  27. UC Ready: A Continuity Planning Tool • UC ANR faces a variety of risks ranging from natural disasters to localized emergencies • By taking steps to manage risk, we can: • Reduce our chances of loss • Create greater stability • Protect our resources • A University of California system-wide effort was launched to increase “event-readiness,” this is UC Ready

  28. UC Ready: A Continuity Planning Tool • Continuity planning is… • How to stay in business in the event of a disruption or disaster, either localized or regional • Planning for the work that must continue, when the usual resources (staff, facilities, etc.) are not available • Strategic planning to ensure an organization is prepared to continue its mission-critical functions when an adverse event occurs • Different from Emergency or Disaster planning, in that it is used once life and safety are secure and is used to help you to continue or resume business operations

  29. UC Ready: A Continuity Planning Tool • Through Continuity Planning we can • Identify the impact of potential losses • Formulate and implement viable recovery strategies • Develop recovery plans that ensure continuance of our critical services and functions in the event of an emergency, disaster, or disruption • Create a disaster-resistant and disaster-resilient institution, with effective crisis and consequence management capability

  30. UC Ready: A Continuity Planning Tool • UC Ready characteristics: • Online planning tool • Form-based with drop-down menus and fill-in-the-blanks • Built in step-by-step guidance • No need for prior experience is needed • UC Ready plans identify: • Critical Functions • Information and Strategies • Essential Personnel • Planning Strategies • Action Items

  31. UC Ready: A Continuity Planning Tool • We will begin work in Jan. 2011 on plans for the CE locations • We will contact County Directors to provide information about this process • For information on our Emergency Management program, Continuity Planning, and UC Ready: • Visit our website: http://safety.ucanr.org/ • David AlamilloEmergency & Continuity Planner 530-752-7968 • daalamillo@ucdavis.edu

Closing • UC Systemwide Survey of EH&S Policy • Looked at implementation and understanding of UC EH&S Policy • Results • How do we improve – reach next level? • Measure safety performance and set goals • Establish safety in all job descriptions and performance evaluations • Health & safety are “owned” by all staff
