Officer.
Raising the alarm is the first step in the implementation of On-Site Emergency Plan (DMP).
Any employee noticing an unusual event can raise or at least alert someone who can then
raise the alarm. This procedure has the advantage of permitting the earliest possible warning
of any potential abnormal situation. In the presence of good accident preparedness, any
employee of the facility or operator should know what initial step to take (e.g., by activating
the break glass type manual fire alarm). For raising an alarm, any person noticing will
contact SIC/ Fire station by;
Horns, Sirens
Sending message through a messenger, or fax machine or contacting over cellular phone/
pager
Identify oneself
State briefly the type of emergency i.e. whether fire, explosion or a toxic release.
Estimate the severity of the incident and return to the area of incident and await instructions
from Shift In-Charge.
Conduct a preliminary check and try to identify the cause, type and location of the accident.
They would be audible at every location of the Plants including inside the buildings.
These sirens are also connected to a battery set so that whenever there is a power failure
linkage it can work on battery. The switching to battery in case of power failure is
automatic.
The following alarm system may be considered which will easily identified the chlorine
leakage/ fire at plant.
The siren to indicate that the on-site emergency has been declared would be that of wailing
sound (high pitch followed by low pitch frequently for 1 minute.
The siren blow would be a wailing sound, short and intermittent siren (25 second on, 5
second off, 3 times).
When the emergency situation has been brought under control and the area is safe an "ALL-
CLEAR” siren would be activated by the SMC from the ECC in consultation with the SIC. It
would be a continuous sound of the same pitch for 1 minute.
After hearing an alarm or information from any employee about an incident in the unit/
plant, SIC would rush to incident immediately. SIC, if found it is beyond his control, informs
the SMC. In-betweens, SMC would make contact with the attendant of ECC. In turn
attendant in the ECC would inform to the identified members of ECC. After that SMC would
rush to ECC. After assuming the position of SMC in ECC, directs to make contact with other
senior members in the plant. SMC will make communication set up with SIC about the
situation. After communication with SIC, SMC founds it is beyond the control then he
declares an Emergency by actuating a siren.
After declaration of an emergency, SMC instructs to inform the outside Fire Brigade, Hospital
and Police Stations and also for help from other GO and NGO‟s.
The other plant In-charges occupy their office to receive instructions from SMC.
SMC is in continuous interaction with the SIC and other senior persons in each site.
SIC in consultation with the other team leaders informs the situation to SMC.
SMC in consultation with the SIC and their juniors decides whether to stop process or not.
All non-essential persons within the plant area (who are not assigned any duty during
emergency) would evacuate their work area and report to one specific Assembly Point. The
Assembly Point will be selected by the SMC. The decision to evacuate the work area by the
non-essential persons will be taken by the SMC after getting feedback from the Site Incident
Controller.
a) Location
There are 6 assembly points AP-1, AP-2, AP-3 and AP-4 (for 210 MW x 4sets) A5,A6 (for 500
MW x 1set in the plant. These points are indicated in the Plant Map.
Assembly Point No. 1 = AP1 = Near the Time office 210 sets.
Assembly Point No. 2 = AP2 = Near SE CHP Office (Open Ground)
While selecting the Assembly Point ensure that all persons within the units do not have to
approach the affected area to reach the point or any assembly point do not lies in the path of
wind blowing leaked Chlorine. Only one Assembly Point should be used for easy head-count
and quick accounting for missing persons, if any.
5.5 COMMUNICATION
a)Persons
b) Responsibilities
1. To receive all incoming calls, note them down in the format "Record of Telephone
Messages” as given in Annexure 7.
2. To telephonically contact SMC and other persons as required by the Plants Incident
Controller or SMC.
COMMUNICATION OF EMERGENCY
One-way to communicate is by i) sounding the siren ii) declaration of emergency and iii)
implementation of emergency procedures. Siren should be backed with DC power.
Another means to give specific instructions using intercoms. However, direct communication
is better effected through a walkie-talkie system especially between the Site Incident
Controller and Site Main Controller.
The SIC briefs the SMC about status of the incident, its likelihood to affect other plants and
also area beyond the fence. He also discusses with the SMC the approach he would follow in
controlling the incident. The SMC, through the intercom system, remain in contact with
other personnel briefs them on the strategy he would like to follow and get their views and
instructs them to be in preparedness. If the situation demands help of any of them he seeks
the same.
The SMC gets in touch with the key personnel through external telephones and gives them
instructions.
Telephonic contact with pre-determined persons in the nearby areas. Public address system
in Autorickshaw will be used for announcing to the nearby areas.
The SMC and Welfare officer would, if they thinks fit, informs the local authorities such as
District Collector; Office of the Addl. Director, Industrial Safety & Health; Police, Fire Brigade
etc.
The telephone directory has been prepared and kept at strategic places such as; ECC,
entrance gate, plant offices. The Telephone Directory is in 2 sections - First for Internal
personals and second for external. This is enclosed at ANNEXURE 8.
The person designated is Dy Chief Engineer Admin/ Welfare Officer. In the absence of Dy
Chief Engineer Admin/ Welfare Officer, alternately he can delegate this function to one of the
senior persons available on site who would carry it out under guidance from the SMC.
The persons who would be authorises, as mentioned in 7.1 & 7.2, and SMC or one of the
senior person from Plants who was appointed by SMC for arrange to notify families of injured
persons. The messages would not make the family panic but give information as to where
be them receiving treatment. In case of any fatality only SMC would make proper
arrangement to inform the families.
5.6 AWARENESS
5.6.1 TRAINING
Training would be undertaken as follows:
a) Training of Group Leaders: All the group leaders would undergo training in following
areas
e) Siren Systems

6. PROCEDURES
i. Siren System - The Siren System would be tested at 10.00 a.m. on every Monday,
observations noted and corrective actions would be taken. The testing would include -
activation system, intensity of the siren at different places so that all in the Plants, etc
distinctly hears it.
ii. Use of the Chemical Leak Stoppage Kit - Testing of this kit to its ability to stop the
leakage would be done once in six months with compressed air cylinder at the
pressure of the gas used in the tonner/cylinder/manifold.
iii. Breathing Apparatus Set - Breathing Apparatus Sets would be tested for their leak
proofness and supply of oxygen for the rated time. This would also be done once in
the six months.
v. Evacuation Practice - How to assemble at Assembly Points, take head count and
transporting them to a safe place. This practice would be done on a sample basis
once in six months initially and then once a year
After hearing an alarm or information from any employee about an incident in the unit/
plant, SIC would rush to incident immediately. SIC, if found it is beyond his control,
informs the SMC. In-betweens, SMC would make contact with the attendant of ECC. In
turn attendant in the ECC would inform to the identified members of ECC. After that SMC
would rush to ECC. After assuming the position of SMC in ECC, directs to make contact
with other senior members in the plant. SMC will make communication set up with SIC
about the situation. After communication with SIC, SMC founds it is beyond the control
then he declares an Emergency by actuating a siren.
1. After declaration of an emergency, SMC instructs to inform the outside Fire Brigade,
Hospital and Police Stations and also for help from other GO and NGO‟s.
2. The SMC contacts SIC on intercom to know about the incident.
3. The maintenance team approaches the incident site to attend emergency.
4. The other plant In-charges occupy their office to receive instructions from SMC.
5. The other teams carry out their respective functions.
6. SMC is in continuous interaction with the SIC and other senior persons in each site.
7. SIC in consultation with the other team leaders informs the situation to SMC.

b) EVACUATION PROCEDURE
The Evacuation Procedure is in two parts viz. assembling at Assembly Points and
transporting to safer place.
1) All the non-essential persons are advised by the respective in-charge to assemble
at Pre-identified Assembly Points.
2) The designated persons would take head count.
3) As per instructions to the staff taking the head counts the assembled persons are
allowed to leave after noting down their names and plant.
c) MEDICAL
The rescue persons bring the injured persons after giving them first aid to the Medical
Center on stretchers located within the Plant. The medical staff treats them. However, if
he finds that the injured requires treatment, which cannot be provided locally he sends
the injured person through an ambulance to the pre-identified, pre-informed nearby
hospital. He keeps on informing about the conditions of injured to the SMC from time to
time. He also is a person who organises training for first-aider, medical and para-medical
staff.
d) UTILITY FAILURE PROCEDURE
Utilities such as water supply, power are considered very important and hence
continuous supply is required to be ensured during emergency. Power supply is required
basically to equipment with which emergency is handled. Therefore, power supply to
such equipment is ensured through use of batteries or separate power supply using DG
sets. A person is deputed at each of the utilities for this purpose.
e) INDIVIDUAL UNIT EMERGENCY PROCEDURE
Each of the Units is required to develop a procedure as to what is to be done in case of
emergency occurring in the unit or if it occurs in some other units. This should form a
part of this On-site Emergency Plan. The workers of this unit is required to be made
aware of the procedure by circulating the same and also displaying at conspicuous place
in the Plant
f) CHEMICAL LEAK STOPPING PROCEDURE
Written procedure for stopping the leak for different gases /oils are given.
f.1 CHLORINE
In case of leakage of Chlorine the identifying team with emergency leak stoppage kit
and PPE should approach to be site and work under the guidance of SIC. The leak
stoppage procedure and non-leak emergency procedure is given in Annexure2.
f.2 HYDROGEN
In case of leakage of Hydrogen the identifying team with emergency leak stoppage
kit and PPE should approach to be site and work under the guidance of SIC. The leak
stoppage procedure is given in Annexure 9.
f.5 AMMONIA
The procedure of leakage of Ammonia from Gas cylinder is given in Annexure 11.
f.6 OZONE
In case of fire on any unit, the fire team with their PPE should approach the site and
work under/follow the guidance of that SIC. The procedure to fight the fire is given in
Annexure 12.
In case of explosion on inside a unit, the fire team with their PPE should approach
the site and work under/ follow the guidance of that SIC. The process to fight/mitigate
the explosion is given in Annexure 13.
i.a Cyclone
i.2 Flood
i.4 Earthquake
j.1Terrorist Attacks
There should be 100% foolproof security mechanism for the following services:
1) A thorough search should be carried out by the security and police agencies who are
well versed in dealing with such situations.
2) In case a bomb being found or a suspected, sand bags be placed around the object to
reduce the impact of damage in the event of an explosion.
3) The nearest police or army unit who invariably have trained personnel for this purpose
should be called for disposal.
If there is any emergency, then follow the procedure given in Annexure 18.
Only SMC is authorised to take the decision to "Call Off" the emergency after ensuring
with Site Incident Controller and other key personnel that the situation is safe to
return to normal operations.
b Calling Off the Emergency: Emergency would be called off by the SMC by actuating
"ALL CLEAR" siren by SIC after authorized by SMC.
c.1 All persons within the Plants are informed through "ALL CLEAR SIREN".
c.2 The SMC also contacts senior person in each plant conveying that the emergency has
been called off. He further instructs them what do next.
c.3 External persons such as District Collector, Office of Jt. Director, industrial Safety &
Health, Police, and Civil Defense etc. are again contacted by the SMC or his designate.
Communication of “calling” off emergency is as important as conveying proclamation
of emergency.
d Returning to Normalcy
When the "ALL CLEAR" siren is blown, it indicates end of emergency. However each
plant to resume to normal operation has laid out procedure.
i) SMC contacts all plants to communicate them the emergency has been called
off and instructs for actions required to be taken by the person inside.
ii) The senior person in each plant takes a small meeting of all his workers and
briefs them and instructs them to go back.
iii) The SIC in consultation with the senior-most official of the Plants and takes
necessary steps to resume supply of electrical power.
iv) Plants start operation as laid down procedure.

to a hazardous situation they weren‟t expecting.
The objectives of Unannounced Drills are:
i) To ensure everyone in the premises can clearly hear the alarms and immediate
actions to be taken by key persons.
ii) To discover if the workforce know the exit routes and take correct action.
iii) To determine whether workforce with special roles (in the case of an emergency)
know what steps are to be taken,
iv) To find out how long it takes to get “all clear” of the emergency.
PROCEDURE
For Pre announced : all concerned to be aware regarding date & time.
For Un announced : Only Chief Engineer, DyCE, Concerned Supdt Engineer, to be
aware regarding date & time, to avoid panic.
• Observers are detailed, briefed and format for assessment issued.

by painting of scenarios in a sequential manner.
• Sequence of events and Administrative Arrangements are finalized after discussion
with Disaster management committee.
• Actions are taken on ground by concerned key persons on orders of their own
departments.
• ECC operation.
• Action by DMP teams.
Step 4
Submission of Final Report.
It is necessary that the on-site emergency plan be tested periodically. As mentioned under
6.5 above, the testing of the plan would be through Table-Top Exercise, Functional Exercise
and Full-Scale Drill.
i) The plan would be tested from time to time. Short comings/ lacunas that would
be surfaced during testing of the plan, would be recorded/ documented,
discussed during debriefing session following the test, decisions are taken to
include them in the plan.
ii) If there were a change in process (s), which may add scenario(s) of possible
emergencies, the plan would be modified taking into account these additional
scenario(s).

LPG is the abbreviation of 'Liquefied Petroleum Gas'. The term is used to describe a
verity of hydrocarbons which exist is vapours under ambient conditions temperature &
pressure. Saturated hydrocarbon in the form of propane (C3 H8) & butane (C4 H10) constitute
of commercially available LPG. The sources of LPG can be either natural gas, liquids of the
crude petroleum oils.
LPG is used as a fuel for heating, cooling, industrial process, heating, cutting & welding,
internal combustion engines, Blowlamps & also as feedstock for petroleum chemical
manufacture. They are also used to produce special atmosphere in heat treatment furnaces in
cigarette lighters & aerosols they are used as propellant.

HEALTH HAZARDS :-
Under atmospheric pressure & at low concentrations, Hydrocarbon gases are not
toxic for humans. The presence of hydrocarbons (at a total concentration exceeding 3mg
/ m³) has no long term harmful effects on man. However, high concentrations
hydrocarbon gases displace oxygen thus causing asphyxia. Liquefied hydrogen gases are
much more dangerous & toxic if they contain sulphur compounds, particularly hydrogen
sulphides.
FIRE FIGHTING :-
In the event of leakage of gas from a cylinder getting ignited, it should be
extinguished only by closing the valve or isolating LPG feed to fire by other suitable
controls.
When the fire brigade arrives, they should be informed of the position of all
cylinders & equipment processing & storing LPG.
The following steps may be taken before arrival of the fire brigade, if no undue risk is
involved.
Cylinders which have not become heated should be moved to safe place as quick as
possible, after ensuring that valves are shut.
Cylinders & equipment, which have become heated, should be cooled by spraying
water from a safe position. The person directing the spray should be taking up a
position where he would be protected from possible explosion.
Cylinders involved should be reused only after subjecting them hydraulic &
hydrostatic stretch test as per IS:5844 . In the even of fire, explosion, accident, notifies
the department of explosives in the areas.
Empty cylinders should be marked & stored separately & handled as carefully as full
one because empty cylinders normally contain LPG vapour & also some traces of liquid. A
regulator should always be used to maintain the out let pressure at a proper & uniform
valve. Before the regulator is removed from a cylinder, the cylinder valve should be
closed & all gas released from the regulator. Cylinders should not be allowed to come
into violent contact with one another or with any hard object. Cylinders with damaged
valves or threads should immediately be labelled appropriately & returned to the
supplier. Cylinders should always be kept away from acids, corrosive substances &
flammable liquids. Cylinder valves & fitting should be kept clean. Valves should be
opened slowly. Tests or leakage should be done by brushing with soapy water & never
with a naked flame. Electrical equipment in storage / filling / handling area should
conform to statutory requirements. Operators should wear leather gloves while handling
cylinders at filling station, loading / unloading them at the transport vehicle, or stocking
them for storage.
a) Naked lights, cigarette ends, sparks from static on live discharges, metal impacts,
heat for molten metal, sparks from welding or cuttings, friction in moving parts & hot
surface are some of the sources that may lead to fire.
b) Cylinders containing LPG should be kept away from heats, since the low boiling point
requires little heat input to evolve a large volume of gas.
c) Maintenance / repair work & filling / empty on any of the LPG storage / transfer /
bottling equipment should be done under work permit.
d) Identify leaks in cylinders. Rectify by lightening glands, nuts, etc. if leakage dose not
stop, remove them to open area, notify the supplier. Keep valve closed even for
empty cylinders.
e) To ensure fire safety, the composition, filling pressure quantity of LPG should be
conform to IS : 1448 (P:70) - 1968, ( Reaffirmed 1980) pressure regulator & other
devices to IS : 4784-1968 & 4786-1968, filling ratios to IS : 3710 - 1970, rubber

HEALTH HAZARDS :-
Inhalation of 100% Oxygen under pressure can cause nausea, dizziness, irritation of
lungs, pulmonary inflammation, hemorrhage, pulmonary edema, pneumonia, and
collapse. Liquid Oxygen may cause frost bite or severe cold burns of skin and eyes.
PERSONAL PROTECTION :-
Safety goggles or face shields, insulated gloves, long sleeves, trousers worn
outside boots of over high- top shoes offer protection while handling liquid Oxygen. Wear
special personal protective clothing that will not ignite on contact with liquid Oxygen, this
is designed to prevent liquid Oxygen from coming in contact with the skin the, causing
severe cold burns.
FIRST AID :-
In case of inhalation, in all but the most severe cases (Pneumonia), recovery is
rapid after reduction of Oxygen pressure, supportive treatment should include immediate
sedation, anticonvulsive therapy of needed, and rest.
In case of frost bite of the skin, do not remove clothes, first rinse only, then
remove clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower and then transport to hospital.
In case of frost bite burns affecting the eyes, first rinse with plenty of water, then
transport to a hospital.
FIRE FIGHTING :-
In the event of a leakage from a pipeline or cylinder, the supply should be cut off
as soon as possible.
If a fire threatens cylinders, those which have not become heated should be
moved to a safe place in the open as quickly as possible making sure that valves are
turned off first.
Cylinders which have become heated or which cannot be easily moved should be
kept cool by spraying water from a safe position.
The fire brigade should be called immediately and when they arrive at the
premises they should be informed of the position of all cylinders even if they are not
directly threatened by the fire.
WASTE DISPOSAL :-
Disposal of gases is a complex problem and should be under an only by personnel
who are familiar with the gas involved and one disposal procedure. If proper disposal
procedure is not known then isolate the leaking cylinder in invented as open area and
contact the supplier for disposal procedures.
Since oxygen is a supporter of combustion, it should be ensured that the disposal
does not take place in a place where other flammable substances, gases and sportiest
ignition are present since the flame could be enhanced in an oxygen enriched
atmosphere.

Chemical Reactivity Forms explosive compounds with copper, silver and Mercury,
may explode violently when mixed with chlorine or fluorine in
the presence of sunlight.
HEALTH HAZARDS :-
Inhalation may cause dizziness, drowsiness and possibly suffocation.
PERSONAL PROTECTION :-
When entering confined spaces suspected to have acetylene gas, persons should use
suitable breathing equipment. For very high concentrations, every effort should be made
to provide sufficient ventilation to dilute the gas before entering the space.
Persons entering such spaces should not use shoes with exposed iron nails or
similar items which may cause sparking.
FIRST AID :-
The affected persons should be removed immediately to fresh air and pulse and
respiration should be observed. If necessary, artificial respiration should be
administered and the person should be removed to hospital. Oxygen may be given if
needed.
Larger leaks from cylinder valve or regulator connection may become ignited & create
sufficient heat to cause melting of the fusible metal in fused plug.
With fusion of metal from the relief device a loud sound may be heard when the gas
is released. When fused plug releases a large value of acetylene will rush out and may
get ignited by source of ignition.
Because of its wide explosive range, even a small leakage of acetylene, on contact
with a spark, can lead to an explosion. Explosion of acetylene develops pressure higher
than explosion of most other gases and air, therefore, more violent and damaging.
Acetylene can also decompose violently (especially when under pressure) when
subjected to heat or shock, even in mercury, it react spontaneously to form explosive
acetylates. Its mixture with chlorine and fluorine can explode violently in the presence of
sunlight.
FIRE FIGHTING :-
When the fire brigade arrives, they should be informed of the position of all cylinders.
The following action may be taken before the arrival of the brigade, if no undue risk is
involved:
1) Cylinders which have not become heated, should be moved to a safe place as
quickly as possible, making sure that valves are shut.
2) Cylinders which have become heated should be cooled by spraying water from a
safe position (A solid jet should not be applied). The area should be evacuated if
cylinders can not be cooled).
3) Burning gas from a leak should be extinguished only by shutting off the leak.
4) A cylinder involved in a fire should not be used without consulting the suppliers.
Empty cylinders should be marked and stored separately. Before the regulator is
removed from a cylinder, the cylinder valve should be closed and all gas released from
the regulator. Exits from stores should be easily accessible and free from any
obstruction.
Cylinders should not be allowed to come into violent contact with one another or
with any hard subject.
If cylinders are lifted by cranes, rope slings should be used to lift a platform, cage
or cradle with the cylinders housed and secured in vertical position. Cylinders with
damage valves or thread should immediately be labelled appropriately and return to the
supplier.
For movement in hand trolleys, secure the cylinder in a relatively upright position.
Identify leaks in cylinders, rectify them by tightening glands, nuts etc., if possible
remove them to a place well away from any possible ignition and allow the gas to
escape. Place warning with a naked flame. Notify the supplier. Never point a burning
acetylene torch towards an acetylene cylinder. Cylinders should be removed from the
working areas and put in a store at the end of working period. Valve protection caps
should always remain in place before and after the use of cylinders. Keep valves closed
even for cylinders supposed to be empty.
MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE :-
Persons require to work in areas where exposure is encountered should received pre
employment and periodical medical examination which should include medical and
exposure history, physical examination, cardiac and respiratory tests and haematology
test.
9.12 MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET (MSDS) FOR CARBON MONOXIDE (CO)
USE AND APPLICATIONS Carbon monoxide is also known as carbonic oxide. Sometime it
is called flue gas in view of its presence usually high percentage
in exhaust & flue gases. Carbon monoxide is used in the
manufacture of ethylene, methanol, phosgene, metal carbonyls,
acids & esters. It is widely used as reducing agent for
recovering high purity Nickel from crude one. Large amounts of
carbon monoxide are used in fuel gas mixtures with hydrogen &
other gases for industrial heating.
IMPORTANT
PROPERTIES
Physical Stage : Gas
Colour : Colourless Gas
Odour : Ouderless
HEALTH HAZARDS :-
Carbon monoxide is highly toxic. When inhaled, its acts by combining with haemoglobin
of red cells in blood to form carboxyl haemoglobin. Haemoglobin, supplies oxygen to all
part of the body from lungs, has about 300 times more affinity for 60 than for oxygen. It
therefore readily combines with CO instead of absorbing Oxygen even when the
atmosphere contains oxygen. This results an interference of oxy-haemoglobin
dissociation & oxygen transport in blood.
At high concentrations (0.4% i.e. 4000 ppm) carbon monoxide can prove fatal less than
an hour. At concentrations 500 - 1000 ppm. ( 0.05 - 0.1% ) it causes headache,
nausea, discomfort & mental disorientation exposure to less than 400 ppm. (0/04%)
causes initially similar symptoms but these effects disappear within 8 - 10 hours after
exposure ends. It is important to note that being Colourless & odourless, carbon
monoxide gives no warnings of its presence, & inhalation of excessive concentrations
can result in serious ill- effects leading to death.
PERSONAL PROTECTION :-
All workers, employed in area where there is hazard of high concentration of CO in the
air should be adequately instructed about its hazardous properties, symptoms of
poisoning & emergency producer. CO can be present in exhaust emissions of petrol &
diesel driven vehicles & other equipment or process area where incomplete combustion
may take place. Fires in AC rooms & ill-ventilated building may produce substantial
quantities of CO. respiratory protective equipment should be used in emergencies for
evacuation purposes and during clean on of the area. For concentrations up to 2%
(20,000 ppm. ) air purifying gas mask (canister type) may used for a period not
exceeding 30 minutes if oxygen deficiency is not encountered. Self-contained breathing
apparatus or air supplied positive pressure respiratory protection equipment is preferred
for atmosphere containing CO. body should be allowed to work alone in areas where
exposure to concentrations of carbon monoxide is anticipated. Exhaust ventilation as the
best means or controlling carbon monoxide concentrations. Systems using CO should be
designed for locating & operating in the open.
FIRST AID :-
If carbon monoxide vapours are inhale, remove the person immediately from the
contaminated area to fresh air location & keep him conformably warm. If respiration is
weak, artificial resuscitation should be administered until normal breathing has resumed.
It is important to hasten the elimination of CO from blood stream, should poisoning
occur. Pure oxygen is preferred for Co elimination, but a mixture of oxygen & 7.10%
carbon dioxide can be more effective in eliminating carbon monoxide as such a mixture
acts as a powerful respiratory & cardiac stimulant including deep breathing & rapid
ventilation of the lungs. Use of drugs should be avoided. The patient should be treated as
a convalescent & given at least 48 hours bed rest. Immediately medical attention for
casualties exposed to carbon monoxide is recommended.
Carbon monoxide is a highly flammable gas. A mixture of carbon monoxide & air within
the flammability limits presents a serious & explosion hazard.
FIRE FIGHTING :-
Small fires involving leaked carbon monoxide should be extinguished by closing the valve
or plugging the leak. Dry chemical powder & carbon dioxide extinguisher are suitable for
small fires involving carbon monoxide. Cylinders which are not involved in the fire should
be moved safe place or keep cool using water spray. Large fires should be tackled by the
fire brigade. Fire fighting personal should be made aware of the hazards of carbon
monoxide & should be provided with self-contained breathing apparatus.
Carbon monoxide leaks should never be left unattended. All sources of ignition should be
kept away, the area ventilated & check for the concentration of carbon monoxide. Self-
contained breathing apparatus should be used while sampling & attending leaks.
MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE :-
Person exposed to carbon monoxide atmosphere should undergo pre employment
medical examination with special emphasis on cardiovascular disorders, anaemia &
special respiratory insufficiency by a physician who is acquainted with the occupational
hazards involved. Pregnant woman should not be employed in areas where there is a risk
of high concentrations of CO in the air.
HEALTH HAZARDS :-

12. ANNEXTURES
The worst-case scenario is the leak of a full 900-kg chlorine tonner, causing a leak of
upto 900 kg of gaseous chlorine into atmosphere.
With a good on-site Emergency Plan (EMP), coupled with the correct and timely action by
staff so that the incident is controlled well and the on-site emergency would not turn into an
off-site emergency.
If there is a chlorine leak from a tonner or cylinder itself (e.g., from tonner or cylinder
valve or body), the operator wearing SCBA will pick up the required items from the
chlorine kit box and proceed to the leaky tonner/cylinder from upwind direction.
The operator will stop the leak by sealing the source of leak by using the gadgets from
the chlorine kit. Usually, this task should not take more than 10 minutes.
The Foreman of the plant having emergency will send either the operator from his plant
wearing SCBA or another operator wearing SCBA to check the surrounding atmosphere
for presence of chlorine by using a swab soaked in ammonia solution. Thick white fumes
of ammonium chloride will indicate presence of chlorine.
It is recommended to confirm the extent of chlorine in atmosphere, using a Dragger
apparatus. If chlorine is found to be less than the TLV of chlorine, that is 0.5 ppm (1.5
mg/mg) in air, normalcy can be restored.
a) In case of FIRE.
b) In case of FLOOD.
c) In case of LANDSLIDE.

Medical Help
To detect a small, local hydrogen leakage/ fire (the flame is nearly invisible), use a H2
detector. If leakage/ fire is present, perform the following:
Let the fire burn itself out (If the flame is snuffed out, it may re-ignite and cause greater
damage.)
If you have received hands-on training in the proper operation of a fire extinguisher then you
may use the same.
Use water spray to protect people and equipment from the thermal stress in case of small
fire.
ANNEXTURE – 10: FUEL OIL, LUB OIL, TRANSFORMER OIL SPILLS AND GAS
LEAKS EMERGENCY PROCEDURE
All known or suspected petroleum products spill and gas leaks (to include LPG, chlorine, etc.)
are to be reported to the fire department. When calling, be specific as to the building and
location of the spill or leak.
- Eliminate all sources of ignition and instruct others to keep at a safe distance,
well away from the spillage area.
- Open windows if possible, and close laboratory doors on the way out. Aim to
ventilate the area but isolate the material.
- Carefully mix the acidic compound with dry soda ash, sodium bicarbonate or
sodium carbonate. Mix well and add water if necessary. Scoop up the slurry
into plastic buckets and wash until neutral, neutralising with 6M ammonium
hydroxide or 6M hydrochloric acid until the pH paper indicates a neutral
solution. Once neutralised, wash to drain with an excess of water (x1000
volume of slurry) if consent permits.
- Eliminate all sources of ignition and instruct others to keep at a safe distance,
well away from the spillage area.
- Open windows if possible, and close laboratory doors on the way out. Aim to
ventilate the area but isolate the material.
(a) cover the spillage with solid sodium bicarbonate or a soda ash-calcium
hydroxide mixture (50-50); work slowly and carefully, mixing the chemicals
into slurry
(b) carefully scoop up the slurry and wash the neutralised mixture slowly down
the drain, diluting with plenty of cold running water all the time; this should be
done only if the consent permits.
3. Alkalis - Note that these compounds may react violently with water.
- Eliminate all sources of ignition and instruct others to keep at a safe distance,
well away from the spillage area.
- Open windows if possible, and close laboratory doors on the way out. Aim to
ventilate the area but isolate the material.
(a) cover the spillage with an excess of dry soda ash or sodium bicarbonate,
and mix well
(b) Slowly and carefully add the resulting mixture to butyl alcohol in a large
container, such as a five-liter beaker or bucket
(c) allow the contents to stand in a fume cupboard for 24 hours before washing
to drain with a large excess of water, if consent permits.
1. If you discover a fire or fire-related Emergency such as smoke, the odor of burning or
abnormal heating of material:
1. If an explosion occurs in your building, Evacuate Immediately. Inform the fire siren
station on the way out of the building.
2. Render assistance to others, only if you can do so safely. (See guidelines for basic first
aid. Note that moving a victim can compound many times injuries).
3. If possible, and only if you can do so safely and quickly, shut off equipment or
experiments before leaving. Be aware an electrical spark could set off another
explosion.
4. Evacuate the building using your primary exit route. If that is blocked, use the
secondary exit route. Have these routes planned well in advance of an emergency.
5. Close the door tightly behind you.
6. Use the stairs only; avoid the elevator as it could set off another explosion.
7. If smoke is a problem, crawl on the floor to escape, or seal your door and room
ventilation and call for help via the phone or by signaling out the window.
8. When the emergency personnel arrive:
Identify yourself;
Give them any information you have about the explosion;
Provide information about hazards in the area;
Provide information about any personnel remaining in the building.
1. Pre-cyclone season checks - these checks shall be carried out at the beginning of the
cyclone season.
Check that all trees adjacent and under the overhead power lines are trimmed and will
not foul the lines. If necessary arrange with Mackay Electricity Board to have the trees
lopped.
Ensure that all storm water drains and guttering is free of obstruction
Green Alert
When the Weather Bureau advises that a cyclone or potential cyclone is located within
600 kilometres, but where there is NO strong indication of gales affecting within 24
hours is called as Green Alert.
Red Alert
When the Weather Bureau advises that a cyclone is within 600 kilometres and gales
are expected within 24 hours, then it is „Red Alert‟.
2.1 Clearances
2.2.2 check that all rubbish bins and other items of plant which could become flying debris
are placed in secure locations, preferably indoors.
2.3.3 All doors and windows to be secured. If the building is occupied during the cyclone,
windows shall be operated in accordance with standard cyclone procedure, i.e. those
on one side away from wind should be opened.
2.3.4 all heavy sliding and roller doors shall be shut and locked in the shut position.
2.3.7 A final check shall be made of storm water drains to ensure inlets are not blocked.
2.3.8 A final check shall be made around buildings to ensure that all loose items have been
secured.
2.3.9 All plantings etc. shall be moved from display benches in the bush house and stored
beneath the benches.
2.3.10 Keys to all pool vehicles except those used by watchmen shall be available at the Main
Building.
3.1 Immediately after the cyclone has passed all buildings shall be checked or damage
and details should be forwarded to the Control team.
3.3 Security arrangements shall be provided for any damaged or open buildings.
3.4 Cleaning and mopping up of damaged buildings should be carried out as soon as
possible.
3.5 Loose equipment secured during Green and Red Alert shall be returned to normal
locations.
1. As soon as it is safe to enter the flooded area, use mops, wet vacuums and paper
towels to remove water and clean affected area.
2. In order to retard the growth of mold, temperature and humidity must be low. Turn
off heat or use air conditioning. Use fans and open doors and windows to circulate air.
Remove wet debris and carpeting form the area. Leave lights on if possible.
3. Carefully move damaged materials to a work area that has low temperature, low
humidity and good air circulation.
4. Thoroughly soaked books and books with coated paper should be frozen as soon as
possible after evaluation.
- Pack books flat in boxes, preferably plastic milk crates of a uniform size for
transportation to freezer facility. Label all boxes.
*If books cannot be frozen before drying, interleave the pages with unprinted newsprint or
paper towels.
- Stand books on head end (i.e. upside down). Do not fan pages; open the covers
slightly and let stand while draining. If time allows, place a toothpick under
each cover midway from front to back to keep the boards tilted back slightly.
- Place paper towels between the front and back covers and the adjacent
Flyleaves. Change these towels and the towels or paper under the book
frequently.
- As the books dry, slowly and carefully begin interleaving with newsprint or paper
towels at intervals of 50 pages starting from the back of the book. Keep book
upright during the interleaving/drying stage.
2. Books, which are only wet around the edges can be interleaved with newsprint or
paper towels working from the back of the book.
6. Arrangements should be made to monitor the flood area for potential after- effects of
water damage.
During a major earthquake you will experience shaking of the earth or building. This shaking
may start out as a gentle rocking motion that grows violent, or it may begin as a violent jolt.
You will find it difficult to walk during the shaking.
1. Stay where you are, get under a desk or table or stand in a doorway or the corner of
the room or near the support column. Do not seek cover under tables or benches in
laboratories. Chemicals could spill and harm you. If possible, extinguish fires, flames
or other sources of ignition.
2. If you are outside get into an open area away from buildings, power lines and trees.
3. Do not use elevators.
4. If you are driving, pull over to the side of the road and stop immediately. Avoid
overpasses and power lines. Stay inside the vehicle until the shaking has stopped.
1. Gather your valuables and leave the building quickly. If necessary, provide assistance
to those who have been trapped in the building, including those with mobility
impairments or those who are trapped by debris. Gather at the designated meeting
location.
2. If persons are injured or cannot be accounted for, or if you know someone is still
trapped in the building. If there is no answer or the line is busy.
3. To expedite rescue and emergency services, a sign should be posted on the front of
the building denoting that all of the occupants got out or that people may be trapped
in the building. If you know someone is trapped, note the time, date, number of
victims and their last known locations on the sign.
4. Check for injuries, but do not move seriously injured people unless the danger in the
area is greater than their injuries.
5. Remember, a significant earthquake will affect the entire city and county. You may
have to fend for yourself and your fellow workers for quite a long time. Render
whatever aid you can provide, but remember that you are responsible for your
personal safety.
6. Use telephones only to report emergencies (i.e., gas leaks, fire, injuries).
7. Physical Plant or other trained individuals should turn off utilities.
8. Never touch downed utility poles or lines. Avoid damaged building equipment.
9. Do not use your vehicle unless there is an emergency. Keep the streets clear for
emergency vehicles.
Be prepared for aftershocks. Aftershocks are usually smaller than the main quake, but they
may be strong enough to topple already damaged buildings.
Toxic/Irritant Gas
Infectious Agents
1. Leave the material in the same location where it was found or opened. Immediately
vacate and isolate the area.
2. Call the local police at 9-911. Inform them of the situation with as much information as is
available.
1. Bomb threats may be received by telephone, e-mail or letter. If you receive a bomb
threat, remain calm and obtain as much information as possible:
2. All efforts in case of bomb threat or bomb explosion are to be coordinated by Disaster
Management Team

5. If the threat was made in writing, do not handle the letter or note any more than
necessary.
6. Do not touch or move any unfamiliar objects, and wait for police to arrive on the
scene.
7. The Safety Officer on site will determine if an evacuation is warranted. If the building
is evacuated, account for all building occupants at the designated meeting area.
Steps to be taken in dealing with parcel bomb or suspected parcel I letter bomb
separately
iii. Ask for help from Bomb Disposal Squad. A bomb threat drill should be
periodically be carried out for being prepared to deal with such threats as
and when they occur.
1) Workers may try to stop the entry of officers and loyal workers by picketing in front of gates
and threatening on the way and residence of such loyal workers.
10) Dharnas, hunger strike in front of main gate or at Station Incharge's residence or other
officers of the plant.
11) Disruption of essential services such as water supply, fuel , canteen, etc.

Crisis: It is defined as an event of acute danger, which can cause sudden disruption of basic
requirement supplies such as water, food, power supply, raw material etc. The event is caused
either due to human error / equipment failure or sabotage by antisocial elements.
Dangerous Occurrence: An incident having potential to cause serious injury and/ or material
damage.
Disaster: It is a catastrophic situation in which the day-to-day patterns of life are, in many
instances, suddenly disrupted and people are plunged into helplessness and suffering and, as a
result, need protection, clothing, shelter, medical and social care and other necessities of life
from government and other governmental and non-governmental agencies.
Emergency: It has the potential to cause serious injury or loss of life and/or property or
degradation of environment and which tends to cause disruption inside and/or outside the
Plants and may require the use of external resources for mitigation.
Hazard: It is a physical or chemical condition, having potential to cause bodily harm to any
person, property or environment (alternatively, a risk source).
Hazardous Process: It means any process or activity in an industry, where, unless special
care is taken, the materials handled therein would cause material impairment to the health of
the persons engaged in or connected therewith or results in the pollution of the general
environment. Refer the definition in the Factories Act, 1948.
IDLH (Immediately Dangerous to Life & Health): The term is expressed in parts per
million (ppm) and reflects the atmospheric level of any toxic material, corrosive or asphyxiant
that poses a danger to life or would cause irreversible or delayed adverse health effects or
would impair the ability of an individual to escape the area.
Major Accident: An incident involving loss of a life inside or outside the installation, or ten or
more injuries or release of harmful or toxic chemicals or explosion or fire or spillage of
hazardous chemicals resulting in an on-site or off-site emergency or adverse effect on
environment. (Refer definition in the Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals
Rules, 1989).
Manufacturing Process: It means any process for making, altering, repairing, finishing,

boundary outside the Plants.
On-Site Emergency: An emergency, the potential effects of which are anticipated to be within
the boundary of the Plants, affecting persons, property or environment within the Works.
Risk: It is a measure of the chance that damage to life, health, property and/or the
environment will occur as a result of a hazard. Thus, risk is the product of probability of
occurrence of an incident and consequences (i.e., damage or loss). (Probability of occurrence
of an accident and severity of consequences for people, production and the environment are
required to be taken into account while evaluating „Risk‟).
Threshold Limit Value (TLV): A set of standards established under various statutes for
concentrations of airborne substances in workroom air. They are time-weighted averages
based on conditions that it is believed persons may be repeatedly exposed to day after day
without adverse effects.
