ADN/001 TIME REPORTING POLICY

I. PURPOSE

These procedures are designed to set guidelines in the Fire Department for a more efficient manner of time reporting. These procedures will apply to uniform and non-uniform employees alike. All personal leave taken or earned must be submitted with a signed exception card (Attachment #A). Employees are encouraged to submit exception cards requesting time off as far in advance as possible.

II. PROCEDURE

A. General Requirements

1. The employee will fill out and sign an exception card to request time. Until the card is received with proper authorization (the supervisor’s signature) the employee will not be charged the time. Leave requests are considered approved upon the authorization of the Supervisor. (The time will be charged to employee with supervisor’s signature only, while Administrative Services waits on employee signature at later date.)

In all work sections the approval signature will be the appropriate work unit supervisor. It is imperative that any absence be entered into the FIRLOG daily.

Any time worked in addition to normal working hours will also be reported on exception cards. See #C Specific Leave/Accruals. Time earned will require special approval according to departmental policies. This does not include FLSA overtime.

2. Any time that is an exception to normally scheduled work hours will be recorded into FIRLOG. FIRLOG will provide information to Administrative Services to verify signed cards are received from employees. Time will not be deducted from employee’s leave time only on the basis of FIRLOG. An approved exception card (supervisor signature) will be needed to charge time to employee.

3. The cut-off for time to be recorded on FIRLOG for the current pay period will be 10:00 a.m. on the Thursday of the week before payday. Any exceptions after that time will be added to the following pay period. Cards can be turned in as early as the employee and supervisor are aware of the leave requested. If leave has been changed or canceled, the card will be pulled and returned to the employee.

4. FLSA Report (Attachment #B) - The original FLSA will be held at the station until all missing signatures have been filled in and then forwarded to Administrative Services. The carbon will be turned in to Administrative Services in the case of missing signatures. There will be one FLSA Report for each station/shift. In the case of an employee transfer, the individual employee time record should be sent to the employee’s new station. The station where the employee is stationed on the last day of the cycle is the station that reports the employee’s FLSA overtime for that cycle. The FLSA sheets should list each employee at the station alphabetically. This will help Administrative Services streamline the transfer of information. Any LWOP leave must be listed on the affected FLSA Cycle sheet as well as information from the “Comments” box. The hours for LWOP should be indicated on an exception card, but the LWOP box should not be marked. The comments should read “Late for Duty” and indicate the cycle number of the affected FLSA. DO NOT enter LWOP time in FIRLOG or KRONOS. If the LWOP occurs early in the cycle, the exception card can be forwarded to Administrative Services prior to the end of the cycle. If not, attach the exception card to the affected FLSA cycle sheet.

5. FLSA Reports apply only to 24-hour shift personnel.

6. If an employee is unavailable to sign the exception card, it will be the station officer’s responsibility to get the employee’s signature when he/she returns to work.

7. Exception cards requesting time should be filled out by pay period. For instance, thirteen shifts of leave might be divided into three pay periods and should be submitted on three separate exception cards. Administrative Services will hold all the cards until the appropriate pay period.

When an employee is at the maximum allowable accruals, the time that would have been received is lost. To prevent this from happening exception cards must be received before the maximum time has been reached. Any exception to this rule on exception cards received after the fact will require a detailed explanation of the situation to the respective Division's Chief to regain lost time.

8. Requested leave can be “changed” prior to the effective date by submitting a new exception card. If you think it may not get to Administrative Services in time, a phone call to the Administrative Services payroll Data Technician is recommended to change time checked on exception card. Requested time can be “canceled” by calling the Administrative Services payroll Data Technician by phone. The exception card will be returned to the appropriate station.

After the effective date, time can be corrected if a mistake has been made.

F. Compliance & Exceptions

1. Compliance with these policies and procedures are required for all Fire Department personnel.

2. Any exceptions to these policies and procedures will only be allowed by approval from the Fire Chief or his designee.

ADN/002 OVERTIME, COMP TIME & TIME GRANTED

All overtime other than FLSA must be approved by the Fire Chief or his designee, regardless of the reason. All comp time and time granted must be approved by the Fire Chief or his designee, regardless of the reason. Disaster overtime must be approved by the Fire Chief.

Employee exception cards will be prepared at the work sites. Overtime must be recorded on the "Employee Exception Card", showing time, date, and reason for accumulation. The card must be signed by the employee, immediate supervisor (or the officer in charge), the Deputy Chief, and forwarded to Fire Chief's Office. Exceptions to this rule are only for disaster overtime, which must be approved by the Fire Chief.

When incidents occur at shift change, the Station/Company officers are responsible to:

A. When relieving: make log book entry noting time of departure and to depart the station in a timely manner to ensure relief is accomplished as soon as practical.

B. When being relieved: Exchange necessary information with relief and depart incident scene to ensure arrival to the station as soon as practical. Make log book entry noting station arrival time. Overtime worked should be reported no later than the next schedule shift.

Comp time

All comp time must be approved by the Fire Chief or his designee regardless of the reason.

Granted Time

All granted time must be approved by the Fire Chief or his designee regardless of the reason.

Personal Leave

An employee may be granted up to two hours leave for personal reasons, subject to the following restrictions:

1. Staffing at that particular station.

2. Approval of the employee's immediate officer in charge.

No employee exception cards are submitted for this type of leave.

ADN/003 FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT

TO BE ADDED AT A LATER DATE

The Human Resource (HR) work section processes all requests for FMLA. Contact one of the HR Administrative Specialists at Fire Administration for more information.

ADN/004 HOLIDAY LEAVE TIME POLICY

It is the policy of this department for personnel to be able to use their holiday leave time as they desire, as long as it does not impede the normal operations of this department. In order to do this, the following applies:

1. Generally leave time should be handled at each individual station, if at all possible.

2. The greater increment of time has preference over the lesser length of time, i.e., a 24- hour shift request will supersede a 12-hour request, etc. Caution should be exercised by company officers in approving and scheduling time off in advance to ensure fairness of the system. Example - once an increment of time (4 hours or more) is approved and scheduled in advance, that person cannot be bumped by a person wanting more time off.

3. Those personnel taking a portion of a shift off, should return to the station no later than 2300 hours.

4. All efforts should be made to staff the apparatus without calling in a person who has scheduled time off in advance and has been approved by the station officer. For further information see Collective Bargaining Agreement.

ADN/005 SICK LEAVE DONATION POLICY

In accordance with, Collective Bargaining Agreement between the City of Oklahoma City and the International Association of Firefighters, Local 157, the following shall serve as policy regarding the donation of sick leave:

An employee who incurs a non-work related illness or injury requiring that employee to miss work, and who has exhausted his or her sick leave, vacation leave, and compensatory time may accrue additional sick leave donated by other employees. Donated sick leave must be on an hour for hour basis. The maximum amount of sick leave that can be donated to a single 8-hour shift employee per fiscal year, by any one employee, shall be an amount equal to 24 hours of leave of the injured or ill employee.

Donated sick leave can also be donated to/from other City departments. AFSCME employees must have a minimum of 240 hours, and Management employees must have a minimum of 130 hours in order to donate sick leave. IAFF employees refer to 12.6 of the collective bargaining agreement.

The maximum amount of sick leave that can be donated to a single 24-hour shift employee per fiscal year, by any one employee, shall be an amount equal to 48 hours of leave of the injured or ill employee.

The donated leave shall be used in the order it is donated. A log will be maintained in Human Resources, (Payroll) work section to confirm order of donation. Donated leave is not taken from the employee until the receiving employee needs the leave. This procedure does not allow the receiving employee to carry a “bank” of donated time. The donated time is given only to the exact hours required per pay period.

The employee in need of sick leave is responsible for the solicitation of donations and request of need may be announced in Staff Meetings, on teletype, or posted on Fire Department bulletin boards. The employee is responsible for submitting Request for Donated Sick Leave form (see attachment D). This will be time stamped at the front desk and signed by the Fire Chief or his designee.

Sick Leave Donation Authorization form (attachment E for OCFD personnel) or (Attachment F for other City department personnel) must be provided to the Department Head authorizing donated sick leave accrual to be placed into payroll.

Unused donated sick leave forms shall be returned to the employee who donated the leave.

The Human Resources Supervisor/Major District Officer or the Deputy Chief of Operations will inform the payroll clerk of the employee’s return to work (doctor's release required).

ADN/053 OCFD HEARING PROTECTION GUIDELINES

Based on the OCFD Safety and Health Philosophy (all OCFD employees return home from work as safe and healthy as they were when they arrived) this SOP exceeds the requirements of the OSHA Standard for occupational noise exposure in the hope of reducing or eliminating any potential hearing loss so that you may enjoy a long and productive career and a long and healthy retirement.

OSHA states that Protection against the effects of noise exposure shall be provided when the sound levels exceed those shown in the following table:

Duration per day (hours) Sound Level

(dBA Slow Response)8 hours 90 dBA 6 hours 92 dBA 4 hours 95 dBA 3 hours 97 dBA2 hours 100 dBA 1 1/2 hours 102 dBA 1 hour 105 dBA 1/2 hour 110 dBA 3/4 hour or less 115 dBA

BY COMPARISONNear total silence 0 dBA A whisper 15 dBA Normal conversation 60 dBA Lawnmower 90 dBA OCFD PASS device 98 dBA A car horn 110 dBA A rock concert or jet engine 120 dBA Gunshot, Firecracker 140 dBA

Based on the figures above, if you are exposed to a sound as loud as your OCFD Pass device for three-hours or longer per day, then all aspects of this SOP would be required by OSHA. Based on audiometric surveys at emergency scenes, fire stations and the maintenance shop, OCFD employees are not currently exposed to occupational noise that necessitate the implementation of OSHA requirements [OSHA, 29 CFR 1910.95 paragraphs (c) through (o)].

The following procedures will be mandatory for all OCFD employees to lessen or eliminate occupationally related hearing loss.

I. Monitoring The Oklahoma City Fire Department shall complete noise level surveys every two years, or when new equipment or technology is put in place that would dictate a need for a re-survey. The OCFD shall notify each employee exposed at or above an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels of the results of the monitoring.

II. Audiometric testing. The OCFD shall establish and maintain an audiometric testing program by making audiometric testing available to all employees whose exposures equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels.

A. Baseline audiogram Within 6 months of an employee's first exposure at or above 85 dB for eight hours, OCFD shall establish a valid baseline audiogram against which subsequent audiograms can be compared. All fire recruits will receive a baseline audiogram prior to employment with OCFD.

B. Annual audiogram At least annually after obtaining the baseline audiogram, the OCFD shall obtain a new audiogram for any employee exposed at or above an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels. Each employee's annual audiogram shall be compared to that employee's baseline audiogram to determine if the audiogram is valid and if a standard threshold shift has occurred.

III. Hearing protectors The OCFD shall make hearing protectors available to all employees at no cost to employees. Hearing protectors shall be replaced as necessary. Hearing protectors currently available include:

Anti-noise Ear Muffs Disposable Anti-noise Ear Plugs

A. The Incident Commander or Officer in charge shall require the use of hearing protection devices when employees are;

Performing a high-level noise tasks. (i.e., chain saw operations, AMKUS operations, or during the use of any other equipment which has the capability of producing noise levels that may have a harmful effect on one’s hearing).

Working in close proximity of a high-pressure gas leak. Employees in the jump seat of an open-cab apparatus that does not have an internal

communications head set available during every code 1 or 3 responses. Working in close proximity to any diesel powered apparatus when the engine is running above

idle speed. Performing pumping, and aerial ladder operations. Other times where noises that cause discomfort occur.

B. Care and maintenance of hearing protection devices Non-disposable hearing protectors, including muffs, should be cleaned after each use and stored in a manner that will provide protection against damage and contamination. Zip-lock bags may be used for this purpose.

Hearing protectors that show signs of deterioration or are unable to be cleaned sufficiently should be replaced.

Anti-noise Muffs should be replaced by completing a Personal Protective Equipment Request Form. Once your District Officer has signed this form, you may submit it to the EMS/Personal Protective Clothing Warehouse Clerk.

IV. Training program A. The OCFD has instituted a training program for all employees who are exposed to elevated noises and

shall ensure employee participation in such program.

B. The training program shall be repeated annually for each employee included in the Hearing Protection Guidelines. Information provided in the training program shall be updated to be consistent with changes in protective equipment and work processes.

C. The OCFD shall ensure that each employee is informed of the following: 1. The effects of noise on hearing;

2. The purpose of hearing protectors, the advantages, disadvantages, and attenuation of various types, and instructions on selection, fitting, use, and care including; how to properly insert ear plugs in order to attain the best seal possible against the walls of the ear canal

3. The purpose of audiometric testing, and an explanation of the test procedures.

4. OCFD Hearing Protection Guidelines will be evaluated annually by the Safety Office.

D. Proper training will be provided for any employee before issuance of equipment, and incumbent employees who use equipment will be trained prior to original issue of any new gear.

E. A copy of the OSHA Standard (29 CFR 1910.95) can be obtained by contacting the Safety Office or by logging onto the website at http://www.osha.gov

V. Record Keeping A. Noise exposure measurement records shall be retained for two years.

B. Audiometric test records shall be retained for the duration of the affected employee’s employment.

ADN/054 REPORTING ADDRESS/INFORMATION CHANGES

As a condition of continuing employment, an employee shall immediately provide any change of address to their supervisor, which shall be forwarded to the Administrative Offices. Additional required information that is forwarded includes changes in contact phone numbers (emergency and personal), birth of a child, death of a child/spouse, marriage/divorce, and/or change of beneficiaries. Current address change form is available on FIREWEB under OCFD FORMS.

need for rescue and level of contamination. While enroute to the incident continue to obtain as much information as possible from Fire Dispatch

about the incident and from observation of the approach scene. Reevaluate the planned approach route to the incident from upwind, uphill and upstream position. If the hazardous material is known reference the current edition of the Department of Transportation

(DOT) North American Emergency Response guidebook (NAERG) for recommended action. If the hazardous material involves a fixed facility, request information on the site from dispatch and

any information that may be gained from on site employees.

Upon arrival at the hazardous materials incident, avoid committing to a dangerous situation. Establish command and staging areas well away from the area, in an upwind, uphill, upstream and facing out position.

Establish a Control Line to isolate the area. Use two cones spread apart approximately 30 feet apart and 80 to 100 feet from the tailboard of the first-arriving engine company. Isolate the area. Deny access to non-emergency responders.

Use barrier tape, rope or natural barriers to keep civilians and firefighters out of the contaminated area. Withdraw any employees or citizens to the safe area.

Establish an Area of Refuge for personnel or victims who are contaminated.

Confirm and define the problem based upon the information that was received and the visible information.

Identify involved substances. Obtain information from the involved parties at the scene (drivers, plant officials, eye witnesses). Be wary of individuals who deny that a problem exists. Locate shipping papers, placards, labels or Materials Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) to help with product identification. If a determination cannot be made, treat the chemical as highly toxic, violently reactive or explosive.

Notice container shapes, sizes, and involvement in the incident. Estimate the Release Quantity from the container in the spill area or vapor release.

Avoid exposure of firefighters to any liquid or vapors. Always wear full protective clothing and SCBA anytime there is a possibility of exposure.

OOPPSS//110099 EEVVAACCUUAATTIIOONN TTOONNEE

IINNTTRROODDUUCCTTIIOONN The ability to quickly and efficiently notify all responders of an immediately hazardous condition is an essential element to the communications plan of any emergency operation. The Oklahoma City Fire Department recognizes three (3) horn blasts as a nationally identified signal for emergency evacuation. Additionally, the Oklahoma City Fire Department’s 800 MHz radio system allows incident commanders, the option to announce an evacuation tone over the radio for the purpose of alerting every responder on the scene. The following procedure will outline the steps required to initiate this evacuation tone.

IINNIITTIIAATTIINNGG TTHHEE EEVVAACCUUAATTIIOONN TTOONNEE In the event of an immediate hazard, (e.g. impending collapse, injury in a Hot-Zone, civil unrest, or any event requiring evacuation by the Incident Commander), the IC will first declare the nature of the emergency over the radio to all on-scene personnel and give instructions for evacuating the area. The IC will then notify dispatch to initiate an Evacuation Tone on the assigned talk group. The dispatcher assigned to the incident will acknowledge the request and then immediately initiate the evacuation tone.

DDIISSPPAATTCCHH PPRROOCCEEDDUURREESS:: To transmit the tone, the dispatcher will ensure that the talk group in use at the incident is the console’s “selected” talk group, and will send three two-second tones, (separated by one second of silence). Following broadcast of the tones, the dispatcher will refrain from broadcasting, to allow the IC to resume communications with companies at the scene. This may include issuing a PAR, if deemed necessary by the IC. The Incident Commander may also choose to sound THREE HORN BLASTS from the closest apparatus on scene, or the Falcon Air Horn found in the Safety Officer's Go-Bag.
