4.7. Fuel Spill
4.7.1. Discharged fuel creates a major threat to personnel,
equipment, facilities, and cargo. Personnel must regard a
fuel discharge as a hazard to be eliminated as soon as
possible.
4.7.2. If any hazardous or petroleum-based material is spilled or
released into the environment, report the spill immediately
to local management and the Maintenance Control
Information Center (MCIC) at 797-5700. Local
management must notify the EMD regional/facility
environmental specialist IMMEDIATELY (toll-free EMD
Spill Hotline: 1 877- FXSPILL) (Environmental Policy and
Procedure Manual, ODS-12234).
4.7.3. A fuel discharge presents a serious fire hazard that extends
far beyond the area of discharge itself. The highly
flammable vapors are heavier than air. Under certain wind
conditions, they may settle and travel along the ground. All
that is required to start a fire is a source of ignition
somewhere along the path of travel.
4.7.4. Personnel should never be permitted to walk or drive
through the liquid area of a fuel discharge because of the
extreme hazard in case of ignition (Ramp Ops R2-65-10).
4.7.5. Driving/walking through the immediate area of a fuel spill
could result in severe disciplinary action up to and including
termination (Ramp Ops 2-85-10).
4.8. Property Damage
4.8.1. If property under FedEx control is damaged, notify the
FedEx representative immediately.
4.8.2. Protect against further damage where possible.
4.8.3. Keep non-essential personnel away from the area.
4.8.4. Responsible or affected contractors must make a full
investigation of the incident and submit a written report to
the FedEx representative as well as to FedEx Corporate
Safety within 24 hours of the occurrence.
4.9. Severe Weather
4.9.1. Upon notification of a tornado warning affecting a FedEx
site, operations will immediately issue a tornado alert (e.g.,
by public address announcement and/or a building sweep.)
In case of other severe weather, notification may come from
management or one of the local safety organizations.
