EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The planning and response strategies for meeting the emergencies caused by major

accidents are termed as Emergency Response & Disaster Management Plan

(ERDMP). Generally, the following phases are involved in ERDMP:

Hazard identification and Risk analysis: An event with an imminent threat of

turning into an accident must first be identified and risk associated with it must

be observed.

Preventive measures: Based on the evaluation of available information, a rapid

analysis of the severity of the likely accident is done and the best course of

action could be identified which would help in eliminating the causes which may

lead to the spread of accident.

Preparedness measures: Preparedness includes all activities necessary to

ensure a high degree of readiness so that response to an incident would be swift

and effective.

Response Procedures: Action plan along with roles and responsibilities of

employees and external authorities is incorporated in response procedures.

Recovery: It contains those short and long-term activities, which return all

systems to normal operation.

Cleanup and Disposal: After the accident is effectively contained and controlled,

the cleanup of the site of the accident and safe disposal of waste generated due

to the accident are undertaken.

Documentation: All aspects of accidents, including the way it started and

progressed as well as the steps taken to contain and the extent of the damage

and injury, must be documented for subsequent analysis of accident for

prevention in future, damage estimation, insurance recovery and compensation

payment. It may be noted that some aspects of documentation, such as,

photographs of the site of accident and main objects involved in the accident,

survey for damage estimation, etc. may have to be carried out before the

cleanup and disposal phase. However, the effort in all cases is to recommence

the operation as soon as possible.

ERDMP acts as a substitute for maintaining good safety standards in the facility. The

best way to protect against occurrence of major accidents is by maintaining very high

levels of safety standards.

The Present report is based on Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board

PNGRB Notification Dated 18th January 2010.

(v) the post disaster recovery with aim to restore the affected area to its original

conditions;

4.2 INTENT

(a) Intent of this Emergency Response and Disaster Management Plan (ERDMP)

document is to formulate action plan for all necessary functions that are required to

be carried out towards preparedness, response & management of emergencies. It

describes the emergency response organization, the resources available (internal as

well as external) and specific response actions required for various types of

emergencies that could occur in IOCL IBP Budge Budge jurisdiction.

(b) ERDMP is not just to use as reference material for training.

(c) Objectives of Emergency Response and Disaster Management Plan (ERDMP)

are:

to prevent causalities- both on-site and off-site;

to reduce damage to property, machinery, public and environment;

to develop a state of readiness for a prompt and orderly response to an

emergency and to establish a high order of preparedness (equipment,

personnel) commensurate with the risk;

to provide an incident management organogram with clear missions and lines of

authority;

to ensure an orderly and timely decision-making and response process

(notification, standard operating procedures);



to maintain good public relations;

In order to achieve the objectives of emergency planning, the critical elements that

form the backbone of the Emergency Response and Disaster Management Plan

(ERDMP) are:

(i) Reliable and early detection of an emergency and careful planning.

(ii) The command, co-ordination and response organization structure along with

efficient trained personnel.

(iii) Availability of resources for handling emergencies.

(iv) Appropriate emergency response actions.

(v) Effective notification and communication facilities.

(vi) Regular review and updating of the Disaster Management Plan.

(vii) Proper training of the concerned personnel.

(viii) Liaison with civil Administration.

Imperatives of such a plan are to minimize the adverse effects of an accident and

restoration of normalcy at the earliest by providing measures to contain the incident

and limit the consequences.

Above objectives are sought to be achieved through following measures:

(i) Providing information to all concerned authorities regarding consequences of

likely emergencies.

(ii) Warning and advising plant personnel & people likely to be affected.

(iii) Mobilizing on-site and off-site resources.

(iv) Calling up assistance from outside agencies.

(v) Initiating and organizing evacuation of affected people.

(vi) Providing necessary First aid and other medical services as required

(vii) Coordinating action taken by various agencies.

CHAPTER-6

CLASSIFICATION OF EMERGENCIES




6 CLASSIFICATION OF EMERGENCIES


ERDMP has been developed to deal with emergency incidents which occur within

the premises of IOCL IBP area. Emergency incidents will be classified by the level

of response that will be required. The actual classification will be made by the

Location-In -charge (LIC) or his nominee as information first becomes available on

an incident. The level of response may change as more information becomes

available or conditions change. Where information is lacking the worst case

scenario will dictate the level of response.

In IOCL IBP premises, probable emergencies can be categorized into three broad

levels on the basis of seriousness and response requirements, which are given as

under:-

Level - 1 Emergency: This is an emergency or an incident which can be effectively

and safely managed, and contained within the site, location or installation by the

available resources. It has no impact outside the site, location or installation.

Level- 2 Emergency: This is an emergency or an incident which cannot be

effectively and safely managed or contained at the site, location or installation by

available resource and additional support is required. It is having, or has the

potential to have an effect beyond the site, location or installation and where

external support of mutual aid partner may be involved. It is likely to be danger to

life, to the environment, to company assets or reputation.

Level- 3 Emergency: This is an emergency or an incident which could be

catastrophic and is likely to affect the population, property and environment inside

and outside the installation, and management and control is done by District

Administration.

Based on the nature of emergency & severity, the levels of type of emergency to be

declared will be decided by the location in charges. Various possible types of

emergencies are tabulated as below:

Note: Level-I has been considered for fire drill followed with onsite emergency.

However Level-II shall normally be considered as onsite emergency and Level-III as

off-site emergency.

PRE EMERGENCY PLANNING




10 PRE EMERGENCY PLANNING


10.1 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

The first step towards ERDMP is to identify potential hazards such as leaks, spills,

fire, explosion, transportation incident, pipeline ruptures, equipment failure, natural

calamities, etc. and the types of damage caused by them.

a. LPG is highly inflammable in its basic character. It is dangerous because of its

intrinsic properties i.e. flash point, ignition energy required, heat of combustion,

flammability limits, etc. In addition to such intrinsic properties, extrinsic factors like

storage & operating conditions and large storage quantity are also considered for

hazard identification. Material safety Data Sheet for LPG is attached as

ANNEXURE-VII

b. The identification of potential impact on downwind air quality or downstream water

quality from an incidental release complies with State Pollution Control Board

rules. The predominant wind direction in the area is from west to east.

(ANNEXURE X)

The annual mean wind velocity is taken as around 1.0 m/s. Usually, during

January to May and October to December (8 months) the wind velocity generally

lies between 0.53-1.36 m/s. During the four monsoon months June to September,

the average velocity is about 1.14 m/s. (ANNEXURE X)

c. Hazards to installation can be in the form of natural calamities such as flood,

earthquake/high wind etc or in the form of terrorist attack, bomb threat etc. Action

plan for these natural/man made perils are given below;

department, the following steps needs

to be taken.

All the movable equipment and

supplies are to be moved to other

elevated areas

Outside areas are to be checked for

equipment and materials that could be

damaged by floodwaters

If time allows, sandbagged dykes are

to be constructed to augment existing

dykes and to protect high-risk items

During earthquake, all personnel

should evacuate buildings and

proceed to areas away from walls and

windows.

If evacuation is not possible,

employees are to seek shelter under a

desk, table etc., or in doorways that

offer protection from falling objects.

After the initial earthquake,

aftershocks should be expected.

The shift officer should contact

operators for a report on employee

brigade should begin rescue, first aid

and damage control activities

Emergency shutdown: As soon as

possible, emergency shutdown

procedures should be implemented,

Operate ROV’s, isolate valves.

After earth quake subsides, the

personnel should inspect all the

facilities for rescue, first aid and

damage control activities, damage

assessment, clean-up, restoration and

recovery.

If the All India Radio / Doordarshan

issues a “high wind caution’’,

threatening conditions.

If a warning is issued by the All India

Radio / Doordarshan (meaning that a

high wind has actually been shifted in

the area) or if a funnel cloud is seen

by plant personnel. The following

steps are to be taken:

Personnel will be notified by the alarm

The emergency brigade is placed on

alert

Plant personnel are to seek shelter in

a) The persons inside the Terminal

should be evacuated as soon as

possible.

b) All the vehicles in the Terminal

e) All pipeline and storage tank valves

should be closed and all operations

inside are carried out with due

vigilance.

f) In case of firefighting equipment shall

be operated and city fire brigade

should be called immediately during

emergency.

d. Check points for hazard identification are given in Check list-1 in ANNEXURE-

XVIII.

The extent of the consequences arising from the IBP plant would depend on quantity

of the LPG present, mode of containment, and external factors like location, density

of population etc. In many cases, realization of hazard and its potential also depend

on prevailing meteorological conditions and availability of ignition source. Thus, most

serious consequences would arise from a large inventory of LPG surrounded by a

densely populated area. LPG require interaction with air or oxygen for its hazard to

be realized. Under certain circumstances vapors of the LPG when mixed with air may

be explosive specially in confined spaces.

Following methods of hazard identification have been employed in this study:

1. HAZOP

2. Preliminary Hazard Analysis for risk ranking using risk matrix.

10.2 RISK ANALYSIS

The second step of the ERDMP process is to determine the risk of an incident

associated with each hazard. The basic procedure in a risk analysis are as follows:

a. Identify potential failures or incidents (including frequency) ;

b. Accidental release of hazardous chemical can result in severe consequences, the

rupture or leak in tank or any equipment containing hazardous chemical can have

potential impacts on public, property or environment.



c. Calculate the quantity of material that may be released in each failure, estimate

the probability of such occurrences;

d. Evaluate the consequences of such occurrences based on scenarios such as

most probable and worst case events;

e. The combination of consequences and probability will allow the hazards to be

ranked in a logical fashion to indicate the zones of important risk. Criteria should

then be established by which the quantified level of risk may be considered

acceptable to all parties concerned;

f. After assessing the risk, the "maximum tolerable criterion" must be defined and

above which the risk will be regarded as intolerable. Whatever be the benefit

level must be reduced below this level;

g. The risk should also be made "as low as reasonably practicable" (ALARP) and

least impacting the neighbourhood. While conducting the risk analysis, a

quantitative determination of risk involves three major steps:-intolerable, the

ALARP or tolerable region (the region is tolerated only) and broadly acceptable

region.

10.2.1 List of Chemicals handled

In the facility, there is receipt, storage & distribution of LPG is carried out. Flash

Point, Fire point, Specific gravity, vapour density, static electricity, Bonding and

grounding are the characteristics of chemicals responsible for fire hazard.

10.2.2 Consequence Analysis

Risk is a combination of two factors, frequency of occurrence of the accident and the

magnitude of the consequence of the accident. An accident with low consequence

magnitude can be of high risk if its frequency of occurrence is high. Similarly high

consequence magnitude accidents can pose little risk if their probability of

occurrence is very rare. Thus during enumeration and selection of incidents both

these factors shall be carefully monitored and considered. Incidents with high

consequence magnitude shall not be neglected unless their possibility of occurrence

is not credible. Similarly, incidents with very low consequence magnitude shall be

considered if the probability of their occurrence is not low.

In the study, calculations are performed for following weather conditions:



Table 10-2: Stability Classes used for QRA study

S. No. Stability Class Wind Velocity (m/s)

2. F 1.5

10.2.3 Damage Criteria

The damage criteria gives the relation between extent of the physical effects

(exposure) and the percentage of the people that will be killed or injured due to those

effects. The knowledge about these relations depends strongly on the nature of the

exposure. In Consequence Analysis studies, in principle two types of exposure (heat

radiation and explosion) to flammable materials are distinguished as follows:

1. Heat radiation, from a jet, flash fire.

Since in practical situations, only the employees will be exposed to heat radiation in

case of a fire, it is reasonable to assume the protection by clothing. It can be assumed

that people would be able to find a cover or a shield against thermal radiation in 10-

sec. time. Furthermore, 100% lethality may be assumed for all people suffering from

direct contact with flames, such as a flash fire or a jet flame. The effects due to

relatively lesser incident radiation intensity are given below.

36.56 99% lethality.

2. Explosion

In case of vapor cloud explosion, two physical effects may occur:

a. A flash fire over the whole length of the explosive gas cloud;

b. A blast wave, with typical peak overpressures circular around ignition source.

10.3 ESTIMATION OF RISK

Risk is a combination of two factors, frequency of occurrence of the accident and the

magnitude of the consequence of the accident.

The consequence and risk analysis have been referred from QRA report done by

CTPL. The risk levels associated with the facilities are presented in the following

standard forms:

1. Individual risk contours which show the geographical distribution of risk to an

individual.

2. Societal risk (FN) curves which show the cumulative frequency (F) distribution

of accidents causing different numbers (N) of fatalities. The FN curve therefore

indicates whether the societal risk to the facility is dominated by relatively

frequent accidents causing small numbers of fatalities or low frequency accidents

causing many fatalities.



10.3.1 Location Specific Individual Risk

Based on the above, the major risk contributors to Individual risk are:



3. LPG Bullet Rupture-Flash Fire/ VCE


5. Horton Sphere Rupture - Flash Fire/ VCE

6. Horton Sphere Rupture-BLEVE

The IR value for the facility comes out to be 7.40E-7 per year which falls in ALARP

region of risk acceptance criteria. The IR acceptance criteria are those adapted by

UK HSE.

Individual Risk (IR)

The IR value for the facility is calculated to be 7.40E-07 per year, which is

in ALARP region.

2.

Societal Risk (F-N Curve)

The F-N curves show that societal risk for the overall population considered

falls in the ALARP region.



10.4 HAZOP/HAZID STUDY

10.4.1 HAZOP METHODOLOGY

The HAZOP study was conducted through a node by node review, i.e. the system

was divided into discrete nodes and each node was numbered accordingly.

The method involved several repetitive steps:

i) Identify a node of the process on the P&IDs.

ii) Define the design intent and normal operating conditions of the node.

iii) Identify a deviation from the intent or operating condition by applying

guidewords based on the BS - IEC 61882 lists of guidewords.

iv) Identify possible causes and consequences of the deviation. A deviation can

be considered "meaningful" if it has a credible cause and can result in harmful

consequences.

v) Identify safeguards, if any.

vi) Identify recommendations and action parties if no safeguard is provided or

safeguards are insufficient.

In practice the guidewords/deviations are set down in a standard list of questions

relevant to the systems under review. The following guidewords/deviations were

used in this study:

10.4.2 HAZID METHODOLOGY

The HAZID was performed by a multidisciplinary team from IOCL Plant & CTPL to

ensure that the HAZID review was comprehensive. The agreed action items were

recorded on the HAZID worksheets.

The drawings and support documents were referred to as appropriate. The study

progressed through the following steps:

The design intent and normal operating conditions of the area;

Identify possible causes and consequences of the hazard. A hazard can be

considered "meaningful" if it has a credible cause and can result in harmful

consequences;

Identify any existing safeguards, mitigations and control measures included in

the design;

Carry out a ranking of the hazards based on its safety or environmental impacts;

and

Identify recommendations and action parties if further mitigation is required.

In keeping with the purpose of the study, CTPL developed a number of guidewords

that were used in the HAZID workshop to initiate discussion within the HAZID team.

Following Guidewords were used:

CHAPTER-12

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS MEASURES




12 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS MEASURES


12.1 EMERGENCY DRILLS & MOCK EXERCISES

(As per clause No. 12.1)

In emergency management, time is very important, the initial few minutes are critical

and timely action may contain the emergency. For persons to perform quickly their

assigned roles, it is essential that each individual should be made aware of

emergency rehearsals which will impart procedures and their individual roles through

proper training.

Testing & Mock fire drills are carried out monthly in the plant.

A mock drill of the on-site emergency plan is conducted every quarter and records of

such drills with actions on any deficiency observed are kept for reference.

These mock drills cover various probable emergency scenarios e.g. a fire, explosion,

gas leak etc. Mock drill results are reviewed by OIC and reports communicated to

Factory Inspector.

Off Site Emergency Plan is conducted quarterly in the plant considering different

scenarios to improve awareness and to build up the confidence among the

employees for quick and correct action as per their role and responsibilities to

mitigate the Emergency.

On completion of the mock drill rehearsal, the debriefing meeting chaired by Officer

In-charge of the unit is conducted to ensure the efficacy of the rehearsal and to

discuss the observations. Recommendations/observations received from the

observers in this regards are complied with time bound schedule. Moreover the

rehearsal on “Off-site emergency action” has been conducted with the consent of and

under the guidelines of District Collector for surrounding MAH industries.

Last on site emergency response drill rehearsal was conducted on 16-05-2014.

XVIII

13.1 ACTION PLAN FOR LPG LEAKAGE AND FIRE

13.1.1 Leakage from the cylinder valve with fire

a) Immediately try to put out the fire with fire extinguishers available in the vicinity.

b) Cool other cylinders with water sprinkler if they are adjacent to it.

c) Make arrangements for reaching the area with Hydrant Hose to achieve directed

spray in the area.

d) It is important to use all possible methods to cool the surrounding area and

specially the Filled LPG cylinders to avoid spread of fire. The MCP should also

be operated to stop all conveyors and the Electrical system.



13.1.2 Leakage from the Pressure Relief Valve with Fire

a) Allow the fire to continue.

b) Cool the vessel to reduce evaporation.

c) Attempt to cool the vessel extensively so as to reduce the internal pressure.

d) Pressure relief valve will close automatically.

e) Extinguish the fire.

f) Cool adjoining vessel(s) and structure.

13.1.3 Leakage from Pipeline / Vessel without Fire

a) Cordon off the area around 30m radius so that no automobile or sources of

ignition approaches the area.

b) Attempt to close the isolating valve.

c) Attempt to transfer LPG into another vessel if possible.

d) Avoid entrapping into the vapour cloud.

e) Use water spray to disperse the vapour cloud.

13.1.4 Leakage from Pipeline / Vessel with Fire

a) Isolate the storage completely from other storage vessel by closing ROVs of all

the storage and stop other operations.

b) Cool the vessel exposed to flames continuously to reduce the LPG evaporation.

Avoid the possibility of BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion).

c) Continue filling the firewater storage tanks by starting bore wells.

d) Provide water curtain between the bullet under fire and the next one.

e) Allow the fire to continue under controlled conditions.

f) Attempt to put-off fire only after control valve is closed. Keep persons away from

dished end.

g) Withdraw the persons to safe zone in case of rising sound coming from safety

valves or discolouration or bulging of vessel.



13.1.5 Leakage in Road Tanker

a) Disperse the vapour with water spray.

b) Close the control valves and then tighten the flange joints / valve glands to arrest

the leakage.

c) Decant the Road Tanker into a storage vessel having low pressure and avoid

pressurizing the road tanker.

d) If the leak cannot be arrested continue dispersal of vapour by water spray.

from a heated object or flame.



13.1.11 Action Plan for Electric Shock Casualties

a) Do first aid quickly and without panic

b) Switch off the supply if this can be done at once

c) If not possible use a dry stick, dry cloth or other non conductor to separate the

victim from electrical contact.

d) The rescuer must avoid receiving shock himself by wearing gloves or using a

jacket to pull the victim.

e) Always keep in mind that delay in rescue and resuscitation may be fatal, every

second counts a lot.

13.1.12 Leakage from Pump/Compressor without Fire

a) The pump/compressor should be stopped immediately.

b) The pump/compressor should be isolated by closing the pump suction and

discharge valves.

c) Casing vent line to be opened to vent out LPG from the equipment casing.

(except lighting) and to activate the siren. Emergency shutdown Logic as per OISD

144 is practiced at Plant.



13.3 RESPONSE PROCEDURES FOR SPILLED MATERIAL

The material collected in the bunded enclosure in the event of a major tank

leak shall be skimmed off and re-pumped into the respective product tank. In

case of spillage outside the bunded area, no waste material would be allowed

to travel away with the storm water as drain gates would be shut off.

Accumulated material in any sewers would be pumped through portable

pumps into the tanks. In addition, since the plant does not store any acidic or

alkaline material, there is no need of neutralization or similar clean up. It is not

expected that any of the materials each out into the ground water system and

thereby causes the need for extensive spill clean up procedures.

16 DECLARATION OF ON-SITE & OFF-SITE EMERGENCIES


Declaration of On-Site & Off-Site Emergencies (Clause No 16.0)

1. An emergency starts as a small incident, which may become a major incident with

passage of time. At the initial stages, the emergency organization chart will be put

into action. If the incident goes beyond control, the chief incident controller will

actuate the on-site emergency plan at the appropriate stage as considered

necessary.

2. During idle shift or holidays, the security personnel will combat the incident as per

the ERDMP organization chart.

3. When emergency becomes catastrophic and evacuation beyond the plant

premises is considered necessary by the chief incident controller, the situation will

be handed over to district authority for implementing the off-site emergency plan.

4. The management of emergency henceforth has to be controlled by the district

crisis management group under the supervision of the District Collector/DDMA

(District Disaster Management Authority).

5. In addition to preparation of on-site emergency plan, furnishing relevant

information to the district authorities for the preparation of off-site emergency plan

is a statutory responsibility of the occupier of every industry handling hazardous

substance.

WHO SHOULD REPORT THE FIRE DISASTER AND HOW:

Any person in the plant who sees a fire or unsafe conditions anywhere in the

premises of plant should report it at once to the Control Room. Person reporting the

fire / emergency should state the location at a prominent place to guide fire-fighting

crew arriving on the scene. The man should try to attempt to mitigate the emergency,

extinguish the fire with the equipment available nearby till arrival of fire fighting crew.

He should draw the attention of nearby people by shouting ‘FIRE, FIRE, and FIRE’.

DECLARATION OF THE DISASTER

Level 1 & 2 disaster- The disaster is declared by the Chief Incident controller.

Level 3 disaster- The disaster is declared by District Authority



Initial Announcement of an Emergency

Any untoward incident/emergency has to be reported either by person or through PA

List of Antidotes and Emergency Medicines

Petroleum products are not acutely toxic, hence antidotes are not necessary.

Arrangement for transferring affected persons to hospitals

In the Plant, there is One Tata Indica Emergency vehicle is available always. In case

of emergency, this can be pressed into service for transferring victims. IOCL IBP

Budge Budge has tie up with Budge Budge Hospital at Budge Budge which is near

from plant, also ESI Hospital at Budge Budge which is 6 km from plant In addition,

one ambulance is provided which is available for transferring people in emergency.

Evacuation Routes for the Ambulance Vehicles for transferring affected

persons

The main medical emergency management plan involves rescue of the victim

through a safe route, ascertaining the level of injury/ fatality, deciding on the extent of

medical action required, rushing the patient to nearest first aid centre or hospital as

the case may be. In addition, of course, informing close relatives of the extent of

injury and proposed treatment is very important.

For the facility in question, the incident controller would be In-charge of determining

the presence of any victim requiring immediate evacuation from within the plant. The

actual rescue operation would be carried out by the “Rescue Team Members” as

identified in the Fire Orders. The evacuation route selected would be the shortest one

and the one well away from or shielded from heat radiation and as identified in the

site layout plan. In case additional water shielding is felt necessary, the same may be

done with the help of water sprays/ hydrants etc. along the evacuation path. Victims

would be carried away for treatment in stretchers from the site. Petrol Vehicles and

scooters are not to be used for rescue within the plant. The role of the rescue team

includes (on hearing the siren): rushing to the spot with stretcher and first aid box,

rescuing the victims to safe location, giving first aid (there are trained first aiders) etc.

In addition, they should inform the Incident Controller and company doctor (on panel)

and request his immediate presence. In case any outside assistance from hospitals

etc. is deemed essential, necessary arrangements at the hospital (phoning up and

gearing up the hospital to receive the victims) would be made.

In addition, they would need to arrange for the safe transport of the victim by either a

company car or hospital ambulance, depending upon the severity. The trained first

aiders, during this process should continue giving first aid till such time as necessary.



In addition, monitoring the condition of victim throughout this ordeal is essential- any

signs of deterioration in breathing, infection of open wounds etc., must be brought to

notice immediately.

CHAPTER-20

EVACUATION




20 EVACUATION


The Chief Incident controller will intimate regarding evacuation. Evacuation of the

personnel willl be carried out in a planned manner along the escape route to

assembly points. People must be evacuated at right angle to wind or opposite to the

wind direction.

All Team Heads/Security will provide the exact head count details during the

emergency. Accounting for site personnel, visitors and contractors, particularly those

known to have been in the affected area will be done.

Figures of contract labor may vary depending upon day and time, but the exact figure

(inside Plant) will be available at main gate (Security Department keeps record of

contract person/ visitor etc. who have entered inside Plant). Total number of persons

available at site will be calculated from above.

Rescue operation will be carried out by the Rescue/Incident Control personnel who

are attending to the emergency. The above operations will be led by the Incident

Controller at site. The list of casualties etc. will be reported to the Communication

coordinators who in turn will be reporting to the Chief Incident Controller at site.

Casualties will be shifted to hospital, if required, by communication coordinators in

consultation with Chief Incident Controller.

Evacuation of those personnel who are not required to be present will be carried out

in consultation with site incident controller. When required, all personnel shall

proceed to ASSEMBLY POINTS through designated routes.

All Section heads/ Team Coordinators will ensure that the employees nominated by

them from their respective Sections must report at emergency site to extend their

support to Team Coordinators.

Evacuation Plan

When the emergency message is received, all personnel should ensure that

nearby personnel are aware of the emergency, quickly shutdown operating

equipment by pressing ESD buttons (e.g., Valves, Pumps, flow meters etc),

close the doors and exit the building using staircase.

All personnel should know where primary and alternate exits are located, and be

familiar with the various evacuation routes available.



When officially told to evacuate, leave by the nearest exit and alert others to do

the same.

Once outside, move to the assembly point designated for the plant. Stay there

until an accurate head count has been taken.

Keep streets and walkways next to exits clear for emergency vehicles and

personnel. Keep the street side of buildings clear so that emergency equipment

can reach buildings.

Do not return to an evacuated plant/ building until & unless directed to do so by

the Fire & Safety Department personnel.

EVACUATION & REHABILITATION

If a major industrial accident does occur, the public in surrounding areas will have

very little time to react and save themselves. The local population will have to be

warned in a very short period. Time available to population for a safe escape and

threatened by the accident will depend on the nature of accident. A fire, when

compared with explosion will give more time to escape and generally, affected area

will be small. Effects of fire on population will be injuries due to thermal radiation. An

explosion will give little time to warn population and area affected may be much

larger than that in case of a fire. Effects of an explosion on the population will be

injuries caused by shock wave, flying debris collapsing structures as well as

exposure to thermal radiation.

FOR INSIDE BATTERY AREA

The entry of contract personnel working inside the battery area is through Main Gate

only. In case of emergency / major accident / disaster, assembly points have been

identified and marked in the plant area for assembling of people for head counting

and thereafter transportation to a safe place.

FOR OUTSIDE BATTERY AREA

Evacuation of the population in the affected villages / other places outside the battery

area depends on the emergency and provision of temporary shelter and supplies (in

the relief camp) and will be under the control of the District Administration.

http://www.centenary.edu/dps



ACTIONS FOR GENERAL POPULATION

On being warned of a major industrial accident general public should take the

following actions:

Immediately go outdoors

Extinguish all flames

Keep torches handy. Store water for emergency use

Do not jam emergency phone lines by calling emergency services.

Wait for further instructions from emergency services before moving out.

EVACUATION

In major disaster, it may become necessary to evacuate people from and around

the area likely to be affected by accident. Sometimes, the evacuation may have to

be made to safe places within the complex area itself. At other times, however,

especially in case of catastrophic disaster, it will be necessary to shift the entire

population outside the complex area to certain pre-designated places fixed in

advance. The task may be difficult as there will be no notice or very short notice of

a calamity, there may be failure of electricity, there may be shortage of manpower

resources etc.

REQUISITIONING OF BUSES / TRUCKS

The Local Police station In-charge under the respective station will be the

Commander-in-Charge of evacuation under the direction of respective

Superintendent of Police. He will determine the extent of evacuation necessary in

view of the likely hazards of disaster. Once this is decided upon, the next job would

be to perform necessary evacuation as quickly as possible. Whether evacuation is

internal in the complex area itself or external, transport facilities would be a major

requirement. For this evacuation, Commander will require availability of buses /

trucks. Public Transport such as Bus, Train, Auto and Taxi can be used for

evacuation of personnel residing nearby. A list of such vehicles should be prepared

in advance and kept ready. For this purpose, he may also get requisite buses from

the SRTC (State Road Transport Corporation).

For ordering evacuation, it will be necessary to fix up pick-up points in different areas

in advance so that residents would know where exactly to board the buses. The

buses / trucks will be lined up at these points for shifting people to safe places.



The entire area to be evacuated should be divided into convenient sectors and each

sector should be placed in charge of a senior officer, whose duty would be to ensure

that all persons from this sector are compulsorily shifted. Help of security / police staff

should also be taken in achieving this task, if considered necessary.

Repeated announcements should be made over mobile-vehicles, fitted with mikes,

directing people to evacuate immediately and board buses / trucks at pick – up

points. Staff who would be employed for supervising arrangements at pick – up

points should be earmarked in advance. The routes by which evacuation will be

made from different areas will be fixed in advance. The drivers of buses / trucks will

be informed about their routes and about their destinations where the residents are to

be off-loaded. In the case of shifting to city, the Chairman of Municipality should be

informed for keeping the places of accommodation ready to receive evacuated

persons and to make other arrangements.

Sheltering of shifted people will be taken care of by DC.

EDUCATION

Help of voluntary organizations and local schools are taken to conduct educational

sessions to make people aware of the actions, the public should take in case of any

major emergency. Periodic meetings of people are held with the village heads to

educate them.



CHAPTER-21

INFORMATION TO PUBLIC




21 INFORMATION TO PUBLIC


(1) General public who are likely to be affected will be informed about safety

measures to be taken in the event of an emergency.

During On-site emergency Fire Mock Drill, nearby public are informed & their

participation also ensured to have holistic experience of the emergency &

precautionary measures to be adopted during emergencies.

Awareness camp is also being conducted regularly for sensitizing the people

about the emergency nature.

Product & action in case of emergency is distributed among villages near by the

area which are described in Chapter-18.

Assessing the situation at Site & Making Emergency known to People

Whosoever will notice any situation will immediately inform Plant Control Room /

nearest Control Room / supervisor by means of telephone or nearest alarm point or

personally. Officer of Plant Control room, after seeing the magnitude of the situation,

will blow the siren. Accordingly, a wailing siren for two minutes will be blown and

emergency will be controlled by the teams as per organogram.

If the Fire Fighting crew is not capable of controlling the situation, after assessing the

situation, the Incident controller of the Plant will declare the disaster i.e. level 3

disaster. Plant Control Room operator will blow three wailing sirens of 2 minutes

each with a time lag of 1 minute between each siren to make the disaster known to

the key personnel and employees of the Plant as well. The information about the

disaster to key personnel will also be given on telephone by Station Control Room.

Public Awareness System

For disclosure of information to the public, the plant has developed pamphlets. The

same is being given to villager in the form of a brief write up for further propagation in

their villages. Many programs are conducted in villages through corporate social



responsibility programs and various development schemes are implemented. To

avoid any panic, it is been considered that the necessary announcement will be

made in nearby villages releasing the information to the tune of requirement only.

The Welfare & Media Co-coordinator of the Plant is the only authorized person for

giving the information to the public & to serve as the Liaison Officer.

The use of Electronic Media

For bringing the awareness among the external public, the use of electronic media

like TV, Air & Press coverage is used. The Welfare & Media co-coordinator of the

plant prepares the Press release to be issued for the local press & other important

dailies.
