PART I CHAPTER 1 PRELIMINARY 1.0 INTRODUCTION OF EMERGENCY PLAN Today s world produces many kind of chemicals in enormous quantities, probably beyond safe manageable levels, and that too in many cases with record speed. People working in chemical factories, transporting the chemicals and using chemicals are constantly exposed to chemical hazards like explosion, fire, gas leakage, spillage of chemicals etc. Disaster means accident causing catastrophic situation in which the day to day patterns of life are in many instances, suddenly disrupted and people are plunged in to helpless ness and suffering and as a result need protection, clothing, shelter, medical and social care and other necessities of life. Disaster may occur by natural phenomenon or by men or by men s impact upon the environment. This plan has been prepared in view of the potential hazards prevailing in our factory and in the surrounding area. A sincere effort is made to give action plan for all other not only ourselves but for concerned agencies such as workers, office staff, general public, surrounding people, fire brigade, transporters, Government Authorities etc. This plan is in two parts. The first part explains basic requirements, definitions, objectives, hazard identification, risk analysis and environmental impact assessment, organizational set up, communication system, actions on site, link with off-site emergency plan and the aspect of training, rehearsal and records The second part is given as Annexure Section containing 33 useful annexure. The information in annexure will also be useful to our unit as well as to the surrounding units as a mutual aid and to the Government in preparing Off-site Emergency Plan under Chemical Accidents (Emergency Planning, Preparedness and Response) Rules 1996. It reveals strengths and weaknesses in the plan and suggests residual preparedness if any. 5

point, location of process and non chemical vessels, etc. shown in the enclosed Annexure 3. Area of the factory is sufficient for safe working and factory compound and building are well maintained. Ways and passages are free from obstruction. 1.4 VARIOUS USEFUL DEFINITIONS Some definitions relevant to emergency planning are given below 1.4.1 ACCIDENT An accident is an unplanned event, which has a probability of causing personal injury or property damage or both. It may result in physical harm in the shape of injury or decease to people, damage to property, loss to the company, a near miss or any combination of these effects. 1.4.2 MAJOR ACCIDENT A major accident is a sudden, unexpected, unplanned event, resulting from uncontrolled developments during an industrial activity, which causes, or has the potential to cause (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) Serious adverse effects immediate or delayed resulting to death, injuries, poisoning or hospitalization to a number of people inside the installation and / or to persons outside the establishment. Significant damage to crops, plants or animals, significant contamination of land, water or air. An emergency intervention outside the establishment e.g. evacuation of local population, stopping or local traffic. Significant changes in the process operating conditions such as stoppage or suspension of normal work in the concerned plant for a significant period of time. Any combination of above effects. 1.4.3 EMERGENCY An emergency could be defined as any situation, which presents a threat to safety of person and/or property. It may require out side help also. 1.4.4. MAJOR EMERGENCY A major emergency occurring at a work is one that may affect several departments within it or may cause serious injuries, loss of life, extensive damage to property or serious 8
disruption outside the works. It will require the use of outside resources to handle it effectively. Usually the result of a malfunction of normal operating procedures, it may also be precipitated by the intervention of an outside agency, such as a sever electrical storm, flooding, crashed aircraft or deliberate acts or arson or sabotage Emergency due to operating conditions such as uncontrolled reactions, small fire, small gas leak, spill, failure or power, water, air, steam, cooling media, scrubbing media etc. and which can be locally handled by plant personnel without outside help is not considered as major emergency. Operating instructions in the safety manual shall cover this area, though the on-site emergency plan will also be useful. 1.4.5 DISASTER Disaster is a catastrophic situation in which the day to day patterns of life are in many instances, suddenly disrupted and people are plunged in to helplessness and suffering, and as a result need protection, clothing, shelter medical and social care other necessities of life, such as: a) Disasters resulting from natural phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, storm, surges, cyclones, tropical storms, flood, land slides, fierce fires and massive insect infestation. Also in this group, violent draught which will cause a creeping disaster leading to famine, disease and death must be included. b) Second group includes disastrous events occasioned by man, or man s impact up on the environment, such as armed conflict, industrial accidents, factory fires, explosions and escape of toxic gases or chemical substances, river pollution, mining or other structural collapses, air, sea, rail and road transport accidents, aircraft crashes, collisions of vehicles carrying inflammable liquids, oil spills at sea and dam failures. 1.4.6 HAZARDS Hazard is a physical situation, which may cause human injury, damage to property or the environment or some combination of these criteria. 1.4.7 RISK Risk is the likely hood of an undesired event (i.e. accident, injury or death) occurring with a specified period or under specified circumstances. It may be either a frequency or a probability depending on the circumstances. 9
1.4.8 THE ON-SITE EMERGENCY PLAN The on-site emergency plan deals with measures to prevent and control emergencies within the factory and not affecting outside public or environment. 1.4.9 THE OFF-SITE EMERGENCY PLAN The off-site emergency plan deals with measures to prevent and control emergencies affecting public and the environment outside the premises. The manufacturer should provide the necessary information on the nature, extent and likely effects of such incidents. 1.5 OBJECTIVES OF THE EMERGENCY PLAN An emergency can not be always prevented, but it can be controlled within limits and its effects can be minimized by using the best resources available at the time. Emergency planning is a management s function and it should not be considered in isolated. Management should evaluate the activities, operations and processes carried out within the works before starting to plan an emergency operation. A check must be made to ensure that all required steps have already been taken which are included in emergency planning. Considering our number of employees, materials and processes, availability of resources, location of site, size and complexity of the works, we have prepared this emergency plan. In our plan, we have shown the clear instructions without overlap or confusion for all concerned staff members. The same details are prepared as per Annexure No. 33 1.5.1 THE OBJECTIVE OF THE EMERGENCY PLANNING ARE AS UNDER (a) (b) (c) (d) To define and to assess emergencies, including risk and environmental impact assessment. To prevent the emergency turning into a disaster. To safeguard employees and people in vicinity. To minimize damage to property or / and the environment (e) To inform employees, the general public and the authority about the hazards / risks assessed, safeguards provided, residual risk if any and the role to be played by them in the event of emergency. 10
(f) (g) (h) (i) (j) (k) (l) (m) (n) (o) To be ready for Mutual Aid if need is raised to help neighboring unit. Normal jurisdiction of an OEP is the own premises only, but looking to the time factor in arriving the external help or off-site plan agency; the jurisdiction must be extended outside to the extent possible in case of emergency occurring outside. To inform authorities and mutual-aid centers to come for help. To effect rescue and treatment of casualties. To identify and list any dead. To inform and help relatives. To secure the safe rehabilitation of affected areas and to restore normalcy. To provide authoritative information to the new media. To preserve records, equipments etc. and to organize investigation into the cause of the emergency and preventive measures to stop its reoccurrence. To ensure safely of the works before personnel re-enter and resume work. To work out a plan with all provisions to handle emergencies and to provide for emergency preparedness and periodical rehearsal of the plan. 11
CHAPTER 2 RISK AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT 2.0 INTRODUCTION Identification, analysis and assessment of hazards and risk provide vital information to Risk Management. Due to non-availability of failure rate data, reliability rate, gas dispersion rate, suitability of Industry for Indian environment, acceptable criteria for risk to public and environment etc. the complete Risk Assessment is not possible. Based on available data, we have made the hazard identification for our factory. While doing so, best available technology is used in design, installation, operation and maintenance of different processes, plants, equipments and machineries. There are mainly three hazards in our factory: (a) Fire hazards (b) Spillage of chemicals.

5.9 ABOUT REHABILITATION The senior fire brigade officer will not signal the end of the emergency until he is satisfied that all fires are extinguished and there is no scope for re-ignition. The statutory powers of factory inspector will be considered before disturbing the evidence. 39
CHAPTER-6 OFF SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 6.0 The Off site emergency plan is made based on events, which could affect people and Environment out side the premises. The off site plan is largely a matter of ensuring the co-ordination of existing services and their readiness as far as possible, for the specific hazards and problems, which may arise in as incident. Briefly we can give two main purposes of the plan as under: (a) (b) As per details given in earlier chapter No. 2 to provide the local district authorities, police, fire brigade, doctors etc. the basic information of risk and environmental impact assessment and to appraise them of the consequences and the protection / prevention measures and control plans and to seek their help to communicate with the public in case of major emergency. To assist the district authorities for preparing the off site emergency plan for the district or particular area. We have made our key personnel and other fully aware about this aspect. The function of the off site plans are as under : 6.1 THE STRUCTURE OF THE OFF SITE EMERGENCY PLAN It includes the following:- (1) Organizational set up:-incident controller Site main controller, Key personnel, etc (2) Communication facilities-list of important telephones (3) Specialized emergency equipment- Fire fighting equipment (4) Specialized Knowledge-Trained people (5) Voluntary Organization Details of organization (6) Chemical information - M.S.D.S. of hazardous substances (7) Meteorological information-weather condition, Wind velocity etc (8) Humanitarian arrangement-transport, First aid, Ambulance (9) Public information-press, Media (10) Assessment-Collecting information on the causes of the emergency, reviewing the efficiency and effectiveness of plan 40
6.2 ROLE OF THE FACTORY MANAGEMENT The on site and off site plans are dovetail so that the emergency services are summoned at the appropriate time and are provided with accurate information and a correct assessment of situation. 6.3 ROLE OF THE EMERGENCY CO-ORDINATION OFFICER (ECO) The various emergency services will be co-ordinate by an ECO. The emergency control center of our factory and other control centers may be utilized by ECO to keep the liaison with the S.M.C. 6.4 ROLE OF LOCAL AUTHORITY Generally the duty to prepare the off-site plan lies with the local authority. They may have appointed an emergency planning officer (EPO) to prepare whole range of different emergency within the local authority area. 6.5 ROLE OF FIRE AUTHORITY The control of a fire is normally the responsibility of the senior fire brigade officer who would take over the handling of the fire from the Incident Controller on arrival at the site. 6.6 ROLE OF POLICE The overall control of an emergency is normally assumed by the police with a senior officer designated as emergency coordinating officer. Formal duties of the police during emergency include protection of life and property and controlling traffic movements. 6.7 ROLE OF HEALTH AUTHORITIES Health authorities, including doctors, surgeons, hospitals, ambulances etc. have a vital role to play following a major accident and they should form an integral part of the emergency plan. Major off site incidents are likely to require medical equipments and facilities in addition to those available locally. 41
6.8 ROLE OF THE MUTUAL AID AGENCIES Some type of mutual aids are available from the surrounding factories and other agencies listed in chapter No. 3 should also be utilized, as per need, as a part of the on site and off site emergency plan. 6.9 THE ROLE OF THE FACTORY INSPECTORATE In the event of an accident, the factory inspector will assist the Dist. Emergency Authority for information and help in getting mutual aid from surrounding factories 42
CHAPTER-7 TRAINING, REHEARSAL AND RECORDS 7.0 TRAINING, REHEARSAL AND RECORDS Extensive experience in the chemicals industry with on-site emergency planning has proved the need and value of rehearsal of emergency procedures. This exercise will help to refine the procedure by identifying deficiencies and difficulties. It is recommended that a major emergency exercise should be conducted at a regular interval by arrangements with the outside services. Emergency plans need to be tested when first devised and thereafter to be rehearsed at suitable interval. Their normal training and experience will generally qualify individual personnel with duties under the plans in day to day operations. Rehearsal or exercises are important for all personnel likely to be involved in an incident on or off the site. After each rehearsal or practice the plan should be reviewed to take account of any shortcomings highlighted by the exercise. 7.1 ABOUT SOME CHECK POINTS For assessing the adequacy of the emergency plan, followings are the most helpful checkpoints. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) Does the plan cover the range of incidents that can realistically be anticipated? The incidents considered should range from small events that can be dealt with by works personnel without outside help to major accidents. Have the consequences of the various incidents considered been adequately assessed? Are there sufficient resources in terms of personnel and equipment on the site to carry out emergency plan for the various incidents in conjunction with the public emergency services? Have the time scales been assessed correctly? Is there a logical sequences of action for each person given a role in the plan? Were key personnel, especially the nominated I.C. consulted in the preparation of the plan. 43
(g) (h) (i) Is there 24 hours cover to take account of absences due to sickness or and holidays? Is there satisfactory co-operation with the local emergency services and or district or regional emergency planning offices? At sites where an off site plan to protect people and the environment outside the site in the event of an incident is appropriate? What is the procedure for initiating the off site plan and is this satisfactory? 7.2 RECORDS AND UPDATING THE PLAN All records of various on site and off site emergency plans of the factories in the jurisdiction, the dist., emergency control plan and modification by experience and suggestion, rehearsals and conclusion of such plans and the inquiries shall be well maintained and preserved by the dist. Emergency authority or the emergency planning officer and the factory inspectorate for the purpose of review and further guidance. 7.3 EMERGENCY INSTRCUTION BOOKLET At many places of this plan, we have mentioned that the duties / functions of particular role is mentioned in the Annexure. The summary details are given in Annexure No. 33. For workers, the instructions are given in Gujarati Language. 44
CHAPTER - 8 FIRST AID We have added this chapter in this plan because it is the most essential thing for any person to possess this knowledge for the benefit of himself and others. To rule out any minor injury, mild exposure with the dangerous substance or to fight the acute exposure at once and with available mean. The following rules are intended only for the initial treatment of minor injuries with the help of a trained First aider. Every injury must receive immediate medical attention. It is important that you know: Who is the FIRST AIDER in your department / section. The location of the First Aid Box and its key. The location of the nearest telephone and hospital telephone number. 8.1 CHEMICAL BURNS 1 All corrosive chemicals should be washed off the skin immediately with plenty of water. Use the nearest safety shower. 2 If drops of corrosive liquid splash on the face, the eyes must be kept closed until the drops are washed away with copious amounts of water. 3 Chemical splashes in the eye must be immediately washed out with plenty of water. The eyelids should be forcibly held apart so that the entire surface of the eye is thoroughly irrigated and the contaminates flushed out. Send the injured person immediately to the Medical Center. 4 The flushing should be carried out for atleast 15 minutes and if required, continue flushing until a transport arrives and on the way to the Medical Center. 8.2 EYE INJURIES 1 With splashed of irritant chemicals in the eyes, first-aid should be immediate, as detailed above 45
2 Loss unattached foreign bodies under or on the eyelid should be removed with a wet piece of clean cotton or an applicator, if the particle is on the corner or attached to the surface of the eye, refer immediately to the Medical Center. ELECTRIC SHOCK 1 Turn off the current at the main switch before attempting to rescue a person in contact with a live circuit. If this is not possible, stand on a dry mat or wood and use rubber gloves, a coat or dry wooden material to protect the hands. 2 Render artificial respiration, if necessary. 8.3 POISONING Whenever you handle poisonous substances, ensure that Suitable instructions and protective equipments are provided. Handling and operational methods are as safe as possible. Antidotes are available at hand Poisoning by swallowing is a rare occurrence. More important are the hazards through inhalation and skin absorption. Call or send for the medical officer, ambulance or first aider, whichever is quickest. Do this at once and when the doctor arrives, give precise details of the poison is known, the specific antidote will be known and available. Keep any vomited material for examination. Remember that swift action on may help in saving a life. INHALATION Where poisonous, vapor fumes or dusts have been inhaled, remove the patient from exposure as quickly as possible using suitable protective equipment and breathing apparatus. Keep the patient warm and lying down till medical aid is available. If breathing has stopped, start artificial respiration immediately. SKIN CONTACT When poisoning results from contact with or absorption through the skin, remove all contaminated clothing at one, preferably under a safety shower and flush the affected areas with plenty of water. 46
After thorough removal of the chemical, keep the patient warm, preferably lying down and send for medical treatment. SWALLOW When poisoning is caused due to swallowing, swift action is necessary. If the patient is vomiting give him warm water to drink freely, to aid in vomiting when the poison is suspected to be corrosive: dilute the poison by giving large amounts of water. (Note: Corrosives cause yellow or gray burns on the lips and the skin). After the stomach has been evacuated by free vomiting, keep the patient warm, preferably lying down and watch for symptoms of shock. In cases of severe poisoning, if breathing has stopped, start artificial respiration and continue till the doctor takes charge. UNCONSCIOUS PATIENT The following medical aid is even more urgent for this type of emergency, while help is being sought: Lay the patient on his stomach, head to one side, mouth open, with head unsupported. This allows any vomit to escape through the mouth and prevents it from falling down the wind pipe into the lungs. To leave an unconscious patient on his back may cause his death. If breathing fails or becomes slow or irregular, start artificial respiration at once and continue until medical aid arrives. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious patient. Always remember that a case of poisoning is a REAL MEDICAL EMERGENCY and that while you are giving the above treatment, someone else must simultaneously take steps to obtain prompt medical aid or transport to the Medical Center 47
