Stop Work and/or Evacuate the Site if Necessary

The senior Turner person or designee on site should determine if partial or full evacuation or if any work-stoppage is required.

Debrief personnel before they leave the site, particularly if a site shutdown is necessary.

Follow-Up Actions

• Offer grief and stress counseling, to staff, subcontractors, and family members
• Begin a thorough investigation using sketches, photos to document events, positioning of people and equipment

Notification

In the event of a severe injury or death, notification must be handled with tact and compassion. Coordinate communication with the family(s) with Risk Management and the local Turner office.

• If a Turner employee is involved:
  • The Business Unit General Manager and Operations Manager must together notify the family
  • If the employee lives out of town and in-person notification is not possible, consider involving local police or a religious leader to assist
• If a subcontractor employee is involved:
  • The subcontractor will notify the family. (This assumes that each subcontractor has its own program for notification by its management of next of kin and other necessary parties.)
