Rosie's answer
Published by SALUSAn earthquake preparedness plan for a construction jobsite should include the identification of potential emergencies and procedures for dealing with them [1]. The plan should identify the location of emergency equipment and personal protective equipment [1]. It should also cover emergency response training requirements, the location and use of emergency facilities, fire protection requirements, and alarm and emergency communication requirements [1]. The plan must include first aid services, rescue and evacuation procedures, and designated rescue and evacuation workers [1].
Here are some general guidelines for what workers should keep in their cars:
- First aid kit
- Emergency food and water
- Warm clothing and blankets
- Flashlight and extra batteries
- Whistle
- Radio
- Cell phone charger
- Basic tools (wrench, pliers, screwdriver)
- Jumper cables
- Duct tape
- Work gloves
- A copy of the emergency response plan
