About this file

The document is an Environmental, Safety and Occupational Health Management System (ESOHMS) Orientation Guide for the Hammond Depot, dated November 2023. The guide provides comprehensive safety and environmental protocols for contractors and visitors, based on ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 standards. Key components include an ESOH Policy Statement with seven core elements, such as compliance with applicable laws, continuous improvement, and management review, and "Five Commandments" of workplace safety: Be Safe, Recycle, Conserve Natural Resources, Understand Job Responsibilities, and Know Applicable Regulations.

The orientation guide details critical emergency response procedures, including emergency contact information, a chain of command for emergency events, and specific protocols for handling hazardous materials. It provides a site map of the Hammond Depot, identifies aboveground storage tanks (three tanks storing gasoline and diesel fuel), and offers guidance on pollution prevention, including steps for spill response (SWIM: Stop, Warn, Isolate, Minimize). Contractors are required to maintain safety data sheets, advise the Depot Manager of hazardous materials, and comply with recycling programs and waste disposal regulations. The document emphasizes each individual's responsibility in maintaining environmental safety and protecting human health.

Hammond Depot Orientation Guide

INTRODUCTION

DLA Strategic Materials has developed an Environmental, Safety and Occupational Health Management System (ESOHMS) that is based on ISO 14001:2015 - "Environmental Management Systems - Specification with Guidance for Use" and ISO 45001: 2018 - "Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems - Specification.” The ESOHMS encompasses all of our Environmental, Safety and Occupational Health (ESOH) policies and programs, and applies to all our employees and all those working on our behalf. We wish to inform visitors and others working at our depots about the key components of the ESOHMS. The purpose of this briefing is to ensure everyone is aware of our ESOHMS and the key environmental, safety and occupational health information that is critical to protecting human health and the environment.

ESOH POLICY STATEMENT

The Environmental, Safety and Occupational Health Policy Statement establishes the framework for the ESOHMS. As such, the ESOH Policy Statement provides the foundation for controlling the environmental impacts, safety and occupational health risks of its activities, commodities, and services and establishing environmental goals and objectives. The key elements of the ESOH Policy Statement include:

• Compliance with applicable laws and policies

• Continuous improvement

• Management review on a regular basis

• Communication with employees as well as the public

• Use of best management practices in protecting our natural resources and preventing pollution

• Providing the resources for all mandatory training

• A social responsibility toward their customers

FIVE COMMANDMENTS

The Five Commandments of the ESOHMS are:

1. Be Safe

2. Recycle

3. Conserve Our Natural Resources

4. Understand Your Job Responsibilities

5. Know What Regulations Apply To Your Job

Critical ESOHMS Information for Hammond Depot

EMERGENCY RESPONSE

The Hammond Depot has an Emergency Response Plan. The pages attached provide key contacts for the Hammond Depot. The Depot Manager, is the primary contact for emergencies (219) 937-5383 x 304 (office) or (571) 474-7628 (cell). Also, 911 emergency service is available in the area. In the event of an emergency, all contractors and visitors are directed to calmly make a spot check of their immediate work area, and then proceed to the depot security office, or if without transportation, exit work area to a safe distance, if necessary. Contractors and visitors are required to communicate all emergency information to the Depot Manager’s office immediately. The nearest emergency room is St. Margaret’s Mercy Hospital; directions and a map to the hospital are attached.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS STORAGE

Hazardous materials stored at Hammond Depot are identified by National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) color-coded signs as follows:

BLUE – HEALTH HAZARD

RED – FIRE HAZARD

YELLOW – REACTIVITY

WHITE – SPECIFIC HAZARD

1 (one) is the Least Hazardous and 4 (four) is the Most Hazardous

POLLUTION PREVENTION

We have a pollution prevention policy and a spill prevention control and countermeasures policy.

Hammond Depot maintains a Storm Water Pollution Prevention (SWPP) Plan and a Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan. These plans describe the aboveground petroleum storage tanks, commodity storage areas and other potential sources of contamination and the procedures to follow in the event of a spill or release. Aboveground storage tanks containing gasoline or diesel fuel are located in the vehicle fueling area, and in the pump house (see attached depot map).

Spills of petroleum or hazardous materials contaminate not only the stormwater runoff pathways, but also the soil and air. Spill response should be focused on protecting human health and preventing impacts to the environment. In the event of a spill, remember SWIM:

S – Stop the spill W – Warn others (and contact the depot manager) I – Isolate the area M – Minimize your exposure

The commodities stored at the depot could also pose a risk to the environment if released from the site.

Follow these best management practices when handling commodities:

• Identify and locate all storm drains and surface water flow pathways in the vicinity of the work area.

• Appropriate materials, such as hay bales, silt fence, or railroad ties, should be readily available and placed as a barrier between the commodity area and the storm drainage system, to help reduce the amount of any loose commodity material that could get washed into the drainage system by runoff from the outloading area.

• Surface runoff that flows towards nearby drainage ditches, swales, streams, etc., should also be similarly blocked.

• These activities should be performed not only while storm water runoff is actively occurring, but also to plan ahead for any rainfall, snowfall, snowmelt, etc. that may occur during the handling of commodities.

OTHER CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS

• Contractors working on site must advise the Depot Manager, in writing, of the presence of hazardous material, hazardous waste and their method of fuel supply.

• .Contractors must maintain (on-site) an SDS for all hazardous materials on site.

• Contractors must store and dispose of hazardous waste in accord with state, local & federal regulations.

• Contractors must conduct operations in accordance with applicable OSHA hazardous waste regulations (29 CFR 1910).

• Hazardous materials must be stored, used and transported in accordance with state, local and federal regulations.

• Contractors must comply with the depot recycling program.

• Contractors should refer all media enquiries regarding operations, environmental management, safety, occupational health, etc. to the Depot Manager.

YOU ARE THE KEY!

The Environmental, Safety and Occupational Health Policy Statement provides the foundation for controlling the environmental impacts of our activities, commodities, and services and establishes environmental goals and objectives. Compliance with the SWPP and SPCC Plans and protecting water quality are a part of these goals.

It is your duty to keep an eye open to identify conditions that may contribute to contamination of storm water runoff. During your daily routine should you notice a potential problem, take the steps to fix it! Keep the lines of communication open.

Remember that whatever goes into the storm water system will end up in our groundwater or local waterways. Often times, that waterway is used for recreation, as a source for food (i.e., fish), and as a source for drinking water.
