1. INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVES

Emergency action plan is systematic and well planned strategy to minimize / abate the emergency at
both incipient stage and major hazard stage. A major emergency in the plant/Construction site may
cause extensive damage to property and serious disruption both inside and outside the plant/site
Sometimes, it would require the assistance of outside emergency services to handle it effectively.
The emergency in the site may be caused by various factors like plant failure, human factors like
behavioral, mentality, personal appropriate or natural calamities like earthquake, and will normally
manifest test itself in two bare forces viz. Fire or explosion. Causes of emergency in the site can range
from design deficiency, poor maintenance, inadequate condition monitoring, improper operating
procedures, insufficient skills and other human errors. External causes can include acts of good,
intentional sabotage, arson, terrorism, missile impact, air craft impact and such.

In the event of such emergencies the following emergency action is to be considered in on-site
together with all possible measures.
 Safe shutdown
 Emergency control measures
 First Aid, Treatment and Evacuation
 Alerting neighboring industries and surrounding population if required
 Communication to relevant statutory authorities other concerned
 Salvage
 All clear
 Investigation and Corrective action

2. DEFINITIONS

2.1. Emergency is defined as an event that affects or threatens to affect either a large number of
personnel, or persons beyond the boundaries of the site. An event that will cause extensive damage to
plant, property and environment is also considered an emergency.

Onsite Emergency:

An Emergency Situation in which its effect is confined to the site premises involving the people,
property machinery / equipment in the site.

Off Site Emergency:

An Emergency Situation in which its effect is felt outside the site premises or outside and inside the
site premises

2.2. Emergency alarm is the wailing sound produced by a large siren / bell located in the site to
declare an emergency.

2.3. Emergency control centre is the point from which the emergency controller directs the actions
and movement of personnel and equipment during an emergency.

2.3. Emergency controller (EC) is a person who assumes absolute control of the site and determines
the actions necessary to control the emergency.

2.4. Incident controller (IC) is the person who goes to the scene of emergency and supervises the
actions taken at the incident to overcome the emergency.

2.5. Emergency control team is the designated group of managers, Executives, staff and practical
advisors who assist the emergency controller. The team consists of three groups:

Control Centre Team, which will operate from the emergency control centre.

Incident Control Team, that remains at the site of incident to bring the event under control.

Assembly Point Team, that guides non-essential personnel at emergency assembly points.

2.6. Emergency assembly point is a place containing or adjacent to a place where people can
assemble and wait in a group to receive instructions from the Emergency Controller.

2.7. First aid station is the location where injured persons will be taken for receiving first aid and
sent for further treatment if required.

2.8. Non-essential personnel are those persons at site who are not involved in handling the
emergency.

3. POSSIBLE EMERGENCIES

Some of the possible -

ON SITE EMERGENCIES:

1. Fire (Storage of HSD, LPG Cylinders, Electrical Circuits, Office Combustibles &
Misc. Chemicals)
2. Electrical Shock (HT line and LT distribution)
3. Accidents due to Vehicles (Fork Lifts and Trucks)
4. Slips & Falls (Work At Height, Lifting tools & Tackles and Slips)
5. Other Hazards (Food Poisoning, Hot Burns, Cold Burns )
6. Natural calamities- Earthquake, flood, storm and lightning
7. Environmental – Spillage of oil / chemicals, Leakage of oil, Leakage or rain water
from secondary containment, Release of emission, overflow of effluent and release of
effluent beyond acceptable limit, Toxic material release,
8. Bomb Threat, Fatal Accident, Terrorist Attack, Work place violence
OFF SITE EMERGENCIES – Hazardous waste going out, Furnace Oil and substandard finished
product Mitigation procedures for the above emergency situations are covered in the following
section.

4. EMERGENCY MITIGATION PROCEDURES

4.1. FIRE

4.1.1. ACTION IN CASE OF FIRE (RESPONSIBILITY - INCIDENT CONTROLLER)

1. On noticing a fire, shout FIRE - FIRE - FIRE loudly.

2. Immediately on hearing the shouts, ascertain the location and nature of the fire. Ring up the site in
charge site security phone number 9173959398 / 9099035387 and Shift Executive and inform them
about the same.

3. Until further help comes, check the nature of the fire, pick the appropriate extinguishers and try to
put out the fire.

4. On hearing about the fire:

5. The Security Guard will blow the fire siren if not done already.

6. Ensure the condition of the jockey pump (say pressure min 6 Kg/cm2)

7. Other security guards will rush to the site of the fire and connect the hose pipes to the nearest
hydrant and keep it ready for use as soon as the fire pump starts.

8. On hearing the fire siren:

9. The emergency procedure will be set into operation. Security Supervisor/Guard will rush to the fire
pump station to start the pump and ensure that the discharged header is pressurized.

10. The Emergency Controller and the Incident Controller will have the security Supervisor/ Guards
to assist them to fight the fire. In addition, the Emergency Controller will send a team of trained
personnel from the people available on site and carry out the following:

a) If people are entrapped, guide them to safety and rescue anyone who may get Injured/trapped.

b) Connect the fire hoses & nozzles to the hydrant landings near the site of the fire. If it is an oil fire
connect the foam making attachment to the hose. If it is an electrical fire the PCC operator will switch
off the mains supply to the affected department after getting the message from Emergency Controller.

c) Fight the fire with appropriate fire extinguishers. Use the hydrant system as soon as the header is
pressurized.

11. In case the Emergency Controller feels necessary he will call the Fire Brigade and other help. The
Control Panel Operators will concentrate on their respective departments to ensure that there are no
adverse effects on the process and to take care of process abnormalities.
4.1.2. SPECIFIC FIRES AND HOW TO FIGHT THEM

(RESPONSIBILITY - INCIDENT CONTROLLER)

Before using any fire fighting means be absolutely sure about type and source of fire else it can result
in further issues. Clear off surrounding material from the area of fire since these can catch and spread
the fire. Do not use wet extinguishers for electrical fires. These can lead to electrical shock and death.
Use sand to collect liquids and dispose off safely. Always direct fire fighting water, liquid, powder or
gas at the base of the fire. Do not assume fire is out at first glance, check thoroughly before giving all
clear.

4.1.2.1 PLASTICS AND PAPER

Plastics and paper include material such as bottles, sleeves, wrappers etc used in our factory and site.
These can result in a type fire which can be easily put off by Water or Water CO2 fire extinguisher.
However even after flames disappear from such fires smouldering remains can re-ignite. Carefully lift
and probe the leftover from the fire and put off all embers. Thoroughly drench all material with large
amounts of water. Dangerous fumes may be given off from plastic fires. Use nose mask.

4.1.2.2. HIGH SPEED DIESEL / GREASE OR OIL FIRES

Since oil is lighter than water it floats on top and continues to burn hence water cannot be used to put
off this fire. Use Foam or DCP extinguisher to fight HSD fires. They will cut off oxygen supply by
coating the surface and prevent spread of fire. If there are more tanks of HSD / oil nearby get them
away from the fire. In case of very big tanks continuously keep them cool by drenching with water
else they may explode.

4.1.2.3. ELECTRICAL FIRES

These can develop as a result of short circuit or improper wiring etc.

As soon as fire is noticed, first put off the main switch to isolate power supply.

Do not ever use any wet type of extinguisher or water for such fires since one can get a fatal shock in
such a case. Use DCP or CO2 fire extinguisher.

4.1.3. FIRE TYPES AND EXTINGUISHING METHODS

A class Fire due Organic materials like Paper Water CO2,

Fire Hydrant, Water and Cardboard boxes

B class Fire due to Diesel storage and Dry Chemical Powder transportation,

C class Fire due to Natural Gas used for Domestic CO2 type Industrial purposes respectively
electrical fires CO2 type, DCP.
4.2. ELECTRICAL SHOCK (HT LINE AND LT DISTRIBUTION)

 If you cannot turn off the power, move the casualty away from the source of electricity,
using something dry and non-conducting, such as a wooden broom handle, a wooden
chair or a rolled newspaper.
 Stand on a non-conducting surface (for example, a dry rubber mat or a newspaper) while
you do this.
 When the casualty is clear, smother the flames of acne burning clothing.
 If the casualty is unconscious, place him in the recovery position, check the airway,
breathing and pulse and begin AR or CPR if necessary.
 Treat any burns.
 Seek medical aid.
4.3. ACCIDENTS DUE TO VEHICLES (FORK LIFTS AND TRUCKS)

In case of a vehicle accident

 Shift the victim immediately to a safe and isolated place

 Do not allow people to surround the victim
 If possible give required first aid
 If need be, give mouth to mouth respiration
 Take precautions so that the victim does not choke
 Call for ambulance and shift the victim to a nearby hospital
 Do not wait for formalities , procedures or hierarchy
4.4. SLIPS & FALLS (WORK AT HEIGHT, LIFTING TOOLS & TACKLES AND SLIPS)

 Immediately after accident call for the Trained first aid Personnel
 In case of fall from height. Do not attempt to move the person. Improper handling may cause
permanent damage like paralysis
 Get the victim to talk & ask him to move the fingers & toes of his legs. If he is able to do so,
make arrangements to shift him to hospital. If he is unable to move his fingers & toes, do not
move him. Call for trained medical help like a Doctor immediately
 Get a stretcher & keep parallel to the victim. Now with 3 persons gently lift him by 8- 10
inches above the ground & transfer him to the stretcher. Make sure his head, neck Spine is
properly supported & kept straight
 Move the patient to the main gate & take him to hospital in the Ambulance
 Security Officer / Supervisor will inform HR Manager / Plant Manager / AGM in that order
4.5. OTHER HAZARDS (FOOD POISONING, HOT BURNS, COLD BURNS AND
PRESSURE IMPACTS)

 Shift the victim immediately to a safe and isolated place

 Do not allow people to surround the victim
 If possible give required first aid
 If need be, give mouth to mouth respiration
 Take precautions so that the victim does not choke
 Call for ambulance and shift the victim to a nearby hospital
 Do not wait for formalities , procedures or hierarchy

4.6. NATURAL CALAMITIES - EARTHQUAKE, FLOOD, STORM AND LIGHTNING

 (Preparedness for natural calamities like, earthquake (including home earthquake

plan), flood, storm, lightning) Hazards are dangerous conditions with potential for
injury, loss of life, and/or damage to property, agriculture or environment. Based
on how they originate hazards could be 1) Natural, and 2) Unnatural.
 Natural Hazards are these are with geological, meteorological and biological
origin. While earthquakes and landslides are examples of geological hazards,
storms, floods, lightning, are examples of meteorological hazards.
 Unnatural Hazards are these are human caused – either due to human error or
deliberate acts by human beings. Eg: Wars, riots, sabotage, terrorist attacks etc.
Unnatural hazards also include hazards of technological origin egg: explosion,
fire, transport etc

 EARTHQUAKE
An earthquake is a series of vibrations or trembling on the earth’s crust caused by
the release of huge accumulated strain energy or by the sudden movement along
an existing fault line. The movement along a fault line results from constant
gradual movement of the tectonic plates that make up the earth’s crust, which
causes stress to build up in its rock layers. The Indian plate is known to be moving
in the north – north – east direction and colliding with the Eurasian plate along the
Himalayas. An epicenter is the point on the surface of the earth vertically above
the place of origin of an earthquake. The magnitude of an earthquake is a quantity
to measure the size of an earthquake in terms of its energy and is independent of
the place of observation. This magnitude is measured on the basis of ground
motion recorded by an instrument called a seismograph and is expressed in
Richter scale. Earthquakes are unpredictable and strike without warning. They
range in strength from slight tremors to great shocks lasting from a few seconds to
as long as five minutes. They are known to come in a series over a period of
several days. Earthquake shocks may damage or demolish buildings or other
structures. Electricity, water and sewer mains may be damaged. Most of the
earthquake casualties result from falling objects or debris, leaving many people
dead, injured or homeless. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) is the
national agency for detecting and locating earthquakes and evaluation of seism
 city in different parts of the country. Earthquakes can be classified from slight to
very great depending on the magnitude measured on the Richter scale.
1 EARTHQUAKE: EMERGENCY HANDLING PROCEDURE

 Instructions to employees on how to respond when a quack hits the site

 The moment the slightest tremors are felt, in the form of rumblings/vibrations on
Floor/walls/roof, all employees in the site building to collect at the open site
 Designated as fire assembly point, exiting through the designated exits and the
Emergency exits.
 The designated person to immediately inform fire brigade /police and to liase
between departments.
 Electrician to immediately shut off power at main distribution board.
 A quick roll calls to be arranged at the assembly point by the authorized person.
 The duration of the quake is not predictable, and the intensity varies. Nobody to
re-enter the building before the incident controller gives a clearance.
 The incident controller (as designated) to immediately inform the designated
emergency controller. Uhf sets to be used if the telecommunication system fails.
 Emergency controller/deputy to activate emergency control centre and take over–
all charge of the emergency.

END OF EMERGENCY

The emergency team to address the following:

• The team can order the workers to go back into the work site to resume normal operations
after fully convincing themselves that the tremors/quake has stopped and that nothing of any
consequence has taken place to the building structure/machinery/electrical installations etc.
An “all clear” signal needs to be given after thoroughly assessing the situation
DURING THE EARTHQUAKE.

• If indoors stay there. There could be falling debris outside.

• Take cover under an internal doorframe, sturdy table, bench or bed.

• Keep away from windows, mirrors, chimneys overhead fittings and tall furniture.

• If in high rise buildings, stay clear of windows and outer walls. Get under a desk near a pillar or
internal wall. Do not use the elevator.

• In crowded areas, do not rush for doors. Stay clears of roof and wall fittings.

• If outside keep well clear of buildings, walls power lines, trees etc.

• If near tall buildings shelter from falling debris under strong archways or doorways of buildings.
Don’t stand under awnings or parapets as they may collapse.

• If in a vehicle stop in the open until shaking stops. Beware of fallen/low hanging power lines and
damage to roads overpasses or bridges.
 AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE.

• Check for injuries, administer first aid and do not move seriously injured unless in danger.

• Do not use telephone unless there is a serious injury or fire. (To avoid line congestion).

• Turn off electricity, gas and water. Check for gas or fuel leaks before lighting matches.

• Check for water or sewerage leaks, broken electrical wiring etc.

• Check for cracks and damage including roof and foundation.

• Be prepared for aftershocks. Evacuate if house is badly damaged.

• Do not waste food and water, as supplies may be interrupted.

• Listen to local radio for warnings and advice.

• Avoid driving unless for emergency. (Keep streets clear for emergency vehicles).

• Do not go sightseeing or enter damaged buildings. Stays calm and help others if Possible

FLOODS:

Floods occur when water covers land, which is normally dry. This may be a due to

Prolonged or heavy rainfall, severe thunderstorm, heavy monsoon rains or cyclones. Other less
common causes could be a dam failure, sudden snow melt or rapid sea water flooding. At times,
periods of heavy rain, not necessarily in their areas (possibly upstream) can lead to rise in water level
of streams and rivers that can no longer hold the volume of water resulting in flooding the adjoining
areas.

Those living on the seacoast, near rivers, low lying coastal areas, live with the greatest threat of
floods.

TYPES OF FLOODING.

1) Flash Floods: Flash floods result due to relatively short, intense bursts of rainfall, often from
thunderstorms. This can occur in many parts of the country, and poses the greatest threat to life.
People are often swept away when swirling floodwaters enter. Significant property damage also
occurs. On many occasions there is very less reaction time, which is the reason for severe loss of
property, livestock and life.

2) Rapid Onset Floods: Quick flooding occurs in the mountain headwater areas of large rivers as well
as in the rivers draining to the coast. These rivers flow rapidly and are deep. Such floods last for about
one to three days, after which the waters recede. Such floods are potentially dangerous posing a risk to
agriculture, livestock, property and lives. Such floods cause severe damage to roads and bridges

3) Slow Onset Floods: This slow spreads of vast flat areas along the river coast, lasting for one or
more weeks. Such floods cause major loss to livestock, damage to crops, rural areas, roads and rail
links. Warnings are generally issued by the local cyclone warning centres, for people to take adequate
measures of evacuation etc.
FLOODS: EMERGENCY HANDLING PROCEDURE

Govt. does resort to flood prevention strategies, like construction of dams, dykes etc. but as an
individual one must be aware of the following, which could save your property or life.

• Be aware of the local flood history, and when evacuation is required, be aware of the nearest safe
location.

• Listen to the local radio for information/flood warning.

• Move fuel, chemicals, hazardous waste to high, secure places.

• Protect/relocate equipment and stocks to safer places.

• As a preparation for evacuation, turn off electricity, water, gas pipelines. Keep sandbags ready to
prevent flooding of low lying areas.

IN CASE OF EVACUATION

• Keep a torch, portable radio handy. Reasonable stocks of fresh water, first aid kits are a must.

• A waterproof bag to carry valuables.

• Do not eat food, which has been in contact with floodwater, and boil all water until supplies have
been declared safe.

• Avoid wading even in shallow water as it may be contaminated.

AFTER THE FLOOD

• Do not switch on electricity until safety checked.

• Beware of snakes, scorpions that may have moved to dry areas in your house.

• Ensure thorough clean-up of any contaminated material.

STORMS

Storms can be categorized into thunderstorms and gales. The thunderstorms produce:

1) Flash floods

2) Destructive winds

3) Damaging hail stones.

Storms that do not produce any of these phenomena are not regarded severe, but still cause injury,
property damage and at times cause death.

Storms develop when dense cold air overlies less dense, warm, moist air, resulting in strong upward
currents and conversion of heat energy into wind and electrical potential. When the atmosphere is
unstable the wind flow can provide the most efficient input of energy to the cloud resulting in a
thunderstorm with well organized, up and down draughts capable of producing, a) heavy rain, b) hail
and c) thunder and lightning.
Gales are high velocity winds over land and usually affect a very much larger area than
thunderstorms. Gales cause significant damage to buildings, electric poles, trees etc. Storms and gales
result in serious injuries to death when trees fall, and the broken branches get hurled, when debris is
hurled across, when parts of buildings fall and also when the roofing material of buildings get blown
over. Apart from injury to humans, severe property damage also takes place.

EMERGENCY HANDLING PROCEDURE.

BEFORE THE STORM SEASON.

• Trim the branches of trees around the building.

• Check/clean roof, guttering and down pipes.

• Clear yard (waste disposal) of loose objects that could fly and cause damage.

• Have list of emergency contact numbers, portable radio, first aid kits in readiness.

AS THE STORM APPROACHES.

• Disconnect all electrical.

• Shelter vehicles.

• Tape (cross fashion ‘X’ strips) over large glass windows.

WHEN THE STORM STRIKES.

• Stay indoors – in the strongest areas. Keep clear of windows, glass doors, metal fixtures, pipes etc.

• Do not use telephones.

• Listen to radio messages for storm updates.

• If outdoors, find solid, enclosed shelter. Do not head for the nearest tree.

• If driving stop clear of trees, power lines and streams.

AFTER THE STORM PASSES.

• Check the building for damage if any. Beware of damaged power lines, fallen trees and flooded
streams.

• Don’t go sightseeing, but stay calm to assess and help in restoration.

• In case you require help, contact the fire brigade/local authorities.

LIGHTNING

For all buildings follow the , Projects standards on lightning arresters. Ensure that the arresters are
fixed as per the norms.

The guidelines given below are mainly for those working in open areas.
The following are guidelines for lightning safety with which all Team Leaders and

Employees need to be conversant.

1. How to predict a lightning strike:

1.1 Whenever you see dark clouds accompanied by a strong cold wind towards the clouds, this is the
first sign of an imminent storm.

1.2 When you feel a strong cold wind blowing in the opposite direction of the clouds accompanied by
drops of rain, this is the most critical time for a lightning strike.

1.3 If lightning is about to strike, you may experience a tingling feeling on the skin and your hair may
stand on end.

2. Evacuation procedures:

2.1 When the dark clouds begin to form, all outdoor activities must be suspended at least 30 minutes
before the rain is expected to start falling.

2.2 Everyone must move completely out of the field to a safe area or crouch down .

2.3 Shelters within the proximity of the field must not be used.

2.4 Activities must remain suspended for at least 30 minutes after the rain has completely stopped.
What to do whenever there is a lightning threat:

3.1 If indoors:

3.1.1 Avoid water and stay away from doors, windows and fireplaces.

3.1.2 Do not use telephones.

3.1.3 Turn off, unplug and stay away from all electrical appliances e.g. radios, computers, TV sets.

3.1.4 If in a car, do not touch any exposed metal that is connected to the car. Avoid contact with the
sides of the car.

4.7 Handling Bomb Threat

 Security to alert associates

 Associates are directed not to touch unknown materials in site.
 If associates notice any of unknown materials lying in site must inform to the security
personnel or IMCR Team.
 All the associates rush to main gate under supervision of Securities.
 Inform to the local police station
 Seize the plant, Work site & boundaries with the help of police if required.
 Call squad dogs if required.
 In worst case scenario call the fire brigade and arrange for medical assistance in hospital.
 Activate the IMCR team
 Handling Fatal Accidents

 Do the first aid.

 Rush the victim to the Hospital.
 Call the ambulance/Hospital to make necessary arrangements.
 Dispose of all medical waste as waste management program.

Handling Terrorist Attack

 Gather information regarding anti-social elements.

 Enlist probable groups which can affect us
 Inform police.
 Deploy policeman outside the unit.
 Organize emergency evacuation drills.
 Train peoples how to communicate & out during probable attacks.
 Ensure firefighting drills & firefighting equipment usage drills are performed.

Handling Workplace Violence

 Report any type of violence or threat of violence to HR Department and Security Supervisor
immediately. (Examples include: A physical or verbal fight between two employees or any
type of threat expressed by an employee.)
 Call ERT Team if required for support to prevent the violence convert to major

 Call Police or Concern Authority if the situation is life threatening.

 Stay away from employee(s) that are fighting or making threats.

 Do the first aid if any injury
 Rush the victim to the Hospital.
Call the ambulance/Hospital to make necessary arrangements

4.8. OTHER OPERATIONAL EMERGENCIES

IN CASE OF SERIOUS ILLNESS

IF ANYONE FAINTS:

 Lay the person down, with the feet raised.

 Loosen any tight clothing and make sure there is adequate fresh air.
 Check the breathing and pulse are normal.
 Check for any injury or illness.
  Encourage the person to rest for a while before moving, once consciousness has returned.
IN CASE OF A CARDIAC ARREST:

 If the person is unconscious, place him in the recovery position, check the airway,
breathing and pulse and begin AR or CPR if necessary.
 If the casualty is conscious, sit him up and loosen clothing.
Seek medical aid urgently

IN CASE OF SNAKE BITE:

 Inform Security
 Security has to draw the attention of ERT. Also inform to the EOSH coordinator
 ERT member has to attend the location of the incident immediately
 First Aid team member will clean the wound with plenty of water
 Take the victim immediately to the local physician to inject the anti venom dote
Inform to the IMCR team members

4.9. OFF-SITE EMERGENCIES

IN CASE OF HAZARDOUS WASTES SPILLAGE

Sites will need to have clear laid down procedures to handle emergencies arising out of spillage of
hazardous material .All preparedness will be based on the MSDS sheets available with the site. Select
employees will need to be trained on the precautions to be taken to handle such environmental
emergencies.

Precautions to be taken:

- Check the source of leak

- Isolate the area and keep people away

- If possible try to arrest the leak or minimize it. Only the trained personnel with the recommended
PPE to attempt the procedure.

- The leaked material to be soaked up with earth cleaned and stored in a designated place for further
suitable disposal.

- In case person came in contact with the hazardous material, specific first aid needs to be
administered and the medical Executive to be summoned immediately.

5. GENERAL RULES DURING EMERGENCIES

5.1. EMERGENCY SIREN

Emergency siren is sounded to declare emergency situation.

5.2. EMERGENCY EVACUATION PROCEDURE

1. On hearing emergency siren carries out emergency shutdown procedure.

2. Leave the building by the safest route

3. Go to designated assembly point Assemble at the designated assembly point.

4. Under no circumstances any person except authorized persons involved in the fire fighting /rescue
operation, should leave the assembly point during the emergency.

5. If any person is away from his section at the time of emergency, he/she must leave that place after
hearing emergency siren and rush to the designated assembly point.

*In case there is an obstruction on the road or a person is unable to walk he/she can go to the nearest
assembly point and report to warden of that zone who will in turn inform to the emergency controller
accordingly.

6. After hearing all clear siren leaves the assembly point and go to your work place.

5.3. ORDER OF PRIORITY IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

I. Protect people.

ii. Protect environment

iii. Protect plant and property

iv. Bring the incident under control

5.4. DO’S AND DON’TS:

DO’S

- All vehicles should be parked at the side of the road leaving the keys in ignition.

- All departmental Executives to take a head count of all the people on duty.

- People away from the work place to return to their departments and report to their respective
Executives.

- Emergency team should come into action

- All employees should move to nearest assembly points

- Emergency/Fire exits should be used.

- Evacuate the work place as soon as you hear the emergency siren.

Don’ts

- Vehicle should be restricted to enter the site.

- Internal telephones to be used only in emergency.

- All incoming/outgoing calls not connected with the emergency will not be permitted.

- People not trained in emergency to move away from the incident point.

- Don’t create the chaos/confusion.

6. TRAINING AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT

Employees need to be aware of the emergency plan available at the site. They will need to clearly
understand their roles and responsibilities during an emergency. The success of an emergency plan
depends largely on the level of awareness of the plan by the employees, for; their response directly is
based on the awareness level. Employees need to be aware of the basic contents of the plan, the
evacuation procedures, the site assembly points, handling of fire fighting equipment and also
administering first aid. Sites will need to have a clear training plan for their employees and also check
their level of understanding

7. REHEARSAL AND EMERGENCY DRILL

Emergency plans will need to be practiced and rehearsed through mock drills. The entire activity will
need to be documented in the emergency drill record. What went right, and the area for improvement
will need to be analysed, and gaps adequately addressed. It would be a good practice to shoot the
entire mock drill on a video for better learning to take place. Practice certainly is needed to enable
employees cope and respond appropriately during an emergency.

** If it is announced emergency drill then critical area people, where we cannot stop the machine
equipment shall always remain inside the plant and rest should assemble at the assembly point and
head count should be counted for those presented at the assembly point.Project manager of the site
should decide that how many people should remain inside the . However, in case of real emergency
all the occupiers must move out to the assembly point.

Emergency Mock Drill: Four times in a year in project site.
