ERP 3 Spillage

Emergency Preparedness plan

Objective: To minimize the potential effects on environments that could result from an oil spill, occurring within EMCO facilities (Camp, Warehouse, workshop & worksites).

Classification of Spill

Minor Spill: A minor spill is one that usually presents little or no hazards to person or property and is small enough to be safely cleaned up using the emergency spill kit. Major Spill: A major spill is one that can’t be contained safely with the materials on the site, threatens safety to life, or threatens to enter sewer system or travel beyond the boundaries of property to endanger the environment. Emergency services shall be contacted.

Procedure to be followed:

♦ Immediately alert the area occupants and notify the incident controller (Site in charge) and evacuate the area if necessary

♦ Attend to any people who may be contaminated. Contaminated clothing must be removed immediately and the skin flushed with water for not less than fifteen minutes. Clothing must be laundered or properly disposed off.

♦ If volatile, flammable material is spilled, immediately warn everyone, control sources of ignition and ventilate the area

♦ Protect the floor drains, ditches and other means of environmental release. Spill socks and absorbents may be placed around the drains, as needed.

♦ Contain and clean up the spill. Loose spill control materials should be distributed over the entire spill area, working from outside, circling to the inside. This reduces the chance of splash or spread of the spilled material.

♦ When spilled materials have been absorbed, use a brush and scoop to place a material in an appropriate container. Polythene bags may be used for small spills.

♦ Complete waste sticker, identifying the material as spill debris involving XYZ chemical and affix onto container. Contact your HSE department advice on storage and packaging for disposal.
