What should an S-60 holder do upon becoming aware of an emergency at the construction site?

When an S-60 holder becomes aware of an emergency at a construction site, the appropriate course of action is to call 911 and then notify the Fire Safety Manager. This is crucial because the first priority in any emergency situation is to ensure immediate help is summoned, especially if there is a risk to life or property. Calling 911 alerts professional emergency responders, such as police, fire services, or medical assistance, who are trained to handle such situations effectively.

Once emergency services are called, informing the Construction Site Fire Safety Manager is vital as they have an established role in managing safety and can further facilitate the response and provide essential information to the responders upon their arrival. This two-step process ensures a comprehensive approach to safety and emergency management on site.

This method also highlights the importance of following emergency protocols and communication pathways, which are integral components of safety training for construction site personnel. The actions taken by the S-60 holder align with best practices for emergency responses, aiming to protect both individuals on-site and the integrity of the construction operation.
