Here is a checklist for shutting down a jobsite due to an ICE raid. This checklist is designed to ensure a safe and orderly shutdown, protecting both personnel and equipment.

Jobsite Shutdown Checklist - ICE Raid

I. Immediate Actions

• Alert all personnel: Use established communication channels (e.g., radio, text message) to inform all workers of the immediate shutdown and the reason [1].
• Initiate Evacuation: Direct all personnel to a designated safe area or off-site location, following pre-established evacuation routes [1].
• Account for all Personnel: Take a roll call to ensure all employees are accounted for. Report any missing individuals to the designated emergency contact [1].

II. Equipment and Site Security

• Secure Equipment:
  • Heavy Equipment: Lower all attachments to the ground, engage parking brakes, and turn off engines [2], [3].
  • Power Tools: Disconnect from power sources and store securely [4], [5].
  • Hazardous Materials: Ensure all hazardous materials are properly stored and secured to prevent spills or leaks [4], [5].
• Lockout/Tagout: Apply lockout/tagout procedures to all equipment to prevent accidental start-up [4], [5].
• Perimeter Security: Secure the site perimeter to prevent unauthorized access. This may include closing gates, erecting temporary fencing, or other appropriate measures [1].

III. Utilities and Services

• Electrical: Shut down all non-essential electrical power, following proper shutdown procedures [4], [5].

• Communicate with Clients/Stakeholders: Inform clients, subcontractors, and other relevant stakeholders about the jobsite shutdown and expected duration [8], [7].

V. Post-Shutdown Actions

• Site Inspection: After the all-clear is given, conduct a thorough site inspection to assess any damage or security breaches [9].
• Equipment Inspection: Inspect all equipment before restarting to ensure it is safe to operate [2], [3].
• Communicate Restart Plan: Develop and communicate a clear plan for restarting operations, including any necessary safety briefings or training [5].
