Classification of Emergencies

KADAPA NEW IRD
Classification of Emergencies (Clause No 6.0)
ERDMP has been developed to deal with emergency incidents which occur
within the premises of Hindustan Petroleum Kadapa POL terminal within its
jurisdiction. Emergency incidents will be classified by the level of response
that will be required. The actual classification will be made by the Officer in
Charge (OIC) or his nominee as information first becomes available on an
incident. The level of response may change as more information becomes
available or conditions change. Where information is lacking the worst case
scenario will dictate the level of response.
In Hindustan Petroleum Kadapa white Oil Terminal under its jurisdiction,

probable emergencies can be categorized into three broad levels on the basis
of seriousness and response requirements, which are given as under:-
Credible accident scenarios for the Terminal have been divided into following
categories according to the mode of release of petroleum products, physical effects
and the resulting damages:
 Pool fire (release of petroleum products from a tank, forming a pool within
the dyke/fire wall and catching fire)
 Jet fire (leakage of petroleum products from a tank/pipe/pump/joints and

the products stream catching fire)
 Tank On Fire
 Spilled Product Fire (Spillage at TT Gantry/TLF Pump House/Tank Truck)
 Unconfined Vapor Cloud Explosion (UVCE) as a secondary effect of above

mentioned scenarios
Based on the hazard identification and comparing the nature of installation with that
from past accidents in similar units, a final short list of MCA scenarios for the

KADAPA NEW IRD
Terminal has been made, which are given in following Table. These are the
maximum credible accidents, which may occur, in the respective unit.

Pre-Emergency Planning

KADAPA NEW IRD
Pre- Emergency Planning (Clause No 10)
10.1 Hazard Identification
"Hazard" is a characteristic of a system, plant or processes that present potential for an

accident. Therefore, all the relevant aspects of petroleum oil storage and handling process
have been thoroughly examined to assess their potential for initiating or propagating an
unintentional event or sequence of events, which can lead to an accident or disaster. Type,
quantity, location & conditions of release of the petroleum oils under various scenarios have
been examined in order to estimate its damage potential, area affected, and the precautionary
measures to be taken.
Hazard Identification
THE PLANT
The M/s Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) white Oil terminal & marketing
division was constructed in 2015 at Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh site in area around 84
acres. The Depot is situated approximately 30 kms away from Kadapa City. Kadapa
terminal is receiving the petroleum products from HPCL, Vijayawada POL & Chennai POL
terminal through railway wagon. Kadapa Terminal is an intermediate stock point for
feeding HPCL’s retail outlets (RO) in the Kadapa, Chitoor & Kurnool Districts surrounding
area to ensure there is no distruption in the feed from the terminals to the ROs. These
received POL products are stored in designated storage tanks and distributions of these
products are carried out by road tankers and wagons to different consumers. These POL
products are Motor Spirit (MS), High Speed Diesel (HSD), Superior Kerosene Oil (SKO),
FO and Ethanol which stored in designated storage tanks and distributions of these
products are carried out by road tankers to different consumers.
THE EXISTING ENGINEERING AND/OR OPERATIONAL CONTROLS

KADAPA NEW IRD
M/s HPCL has defined and exhaustive manual for operations of POL product Receipt
through pipelines from HPCL, Vijayawada POL & Chennai POL terminal through railway
wagon and dispatch through Road tankers.
Credible Accident Scenarios
A Maximum Credible Accident (MCA) can be characterized as an accident with a

maximum damage potential, which is believed to be credible. For selection of a MCA
scenario following factors have been taken into account.
* Flammability of the petroleum Products

* Quantity of Petroleum Products present in the storage tank
* Process or storage conditions such as temperature, pressure, flow, mixing
and presence of incompatible materials
In addition to the above factors, location of the unit with respect to adjacent
establishment has been taken into consideration to account for the potential of
escalation of an accident. This phenomenon is known as the domino or secondary
effect. In order to visualize MCA scenarios Chemical Inventory Analysis, Event Tree
Analysis and Past Accident Review have been employed.
The credible scenarios identified for the POL Depot are as follows:
Credible accident scenarios for the Depot have been divided into following categories
according to the mode of release of petroleum products, physical effects and the
resulting damages:
 Pool fire (release of petroleum products from a tank, forming a pool within
the dyke/fire wall and catching fire)
 Jet fire (leakage of petroleum products from a tank/pipe/pump/joints and

the products stream catching fire)
 Tank On Fire
 Spilled Product Fire (Spillage at TT Gantry/TLF Pump House/Tank Truck)
 Unconfined Vapor Cloud Explosion (UVCE) as a secondary effect of above

mentioned scenarios
HAZOP STUDY :
The process of HAZOP STUDY, recording and reporting is a structured hazard

Identification tool that uses a multi-disciplined team. It is accepted as an important

KADAPA NEW IRD
technique for the identification of process hazards in the design and operation of a
facility. HAZOP is the application of a formal systematic examination of the process and
engineering intentions of new or existing facilities to assess the potential of mal-
operation or malfunction of individual items of equipment and their consequential effects
on the facility as a whole.
The method is equally applicable to major green-field developments, brown-field

projects, small plant modifications or operating procedures. The concept is to break the
plant into small sections and then to identify hazards by examining each section and
using a series of parameter and guide word filters to structure the brainstorming
process. Brainstorming is an effective meeting technique and its strengths is that, when
led by a competent Facilitator; it breaks down rivalries and a narrow view point.
The HAZOP relies on the broad experience of the team to identify potential hazards and
operability problems. Individual or discipline reviews are unlikely to be able to identify all
the possible interdepartmental interfaces which are recognized as critical to the safety of
complex plant. The HAZOP technique's strength is that it allows personnel from all
disciplines to interact and question aspects of the facilities beyond their usual sphere of
activity.
The HAZOP process is the systematic application of combinations of parameters (flow,

pressure and temperature) and guide words (no, more, less) to produce deviations (no
flow,less pressure) from the design intent or intended operational mode of the plant.
Credible causes of deviations are identified for each plant section (called node). The
consequences arising are then discussed, assessed and minuted with actions or requests
for further consideration by the project team.
The main deliverables from a HAZOP study are as follows. The first is a set of detailed
worksheets, presented for each node. These show the results of the team's discussions
with action recommendations. The second deliverable is a detailed discussions and
recommendations and summary of the main action points. Performing a HAZOP is
generally an assurance that if procedural and/or engineering modification is implemented
to mitigate risk, the plant will then be operating at some lower level of risk. It is not,
however, a guarantee that no risk exists, nor does it guarantee that hazardous events or
operating or operating problems will not be encountered.

Fire Explosion & Toxicity Index (FEI & TI) Analysis
The most widely used relative ranking hazard indices are Dow chemical Company's Fire
Explosion Index (FEI) and Mond's Toxicity Index (TI). They are commonly together
referred to as Fire Explosion and Toxicity Index (FEI & TI).
FEI & TI involves objective evaluation of the realistic fire, explosion, toxicity and reactivity
potential of process or storage units. The quantitative methodology relies on the analysis
based on historic loss data, the energy content of the chemical under study and the extent to
which loss prevention measures are already incorporated. FEI & TI are primarily designed
for operations involving storage, handling and processing of flammable, combustible and
reactive chemicals.

RISK ANALYSIS
Identification of Accident Event
Despite the best efforts of good design, construction of a plant and well trained
experienced operating staff, accidental release of chemicals take place in any process
unit where hazardous chemicals are stored and handled. This may lead to either vapor
clouds or liquid pools. Depending on the nature of chemical and availability of ignition
source, such releases can cause damage due to heat radiation, over pressure or toxic
effects. Risk Analysis study will help to identify and quantify these hazards and
associated risk. The Risk Analysis can be broadly divided into three basic steps
a) What can go wrong? (Hazard Identification)
b) How often can it go wrong? (Failure Frequency)
c) What are the effects and consequences? (Effect and Damage Calculations)
Hazard Identification has been discussed in Section 3. Failure Frequency and Effects and
Consequences of accidental releases are discussed in this Section.
Consequence Analysis

KADAPA NEW IRD
This deals with the quantification of various effects of release of Petroleum products on
the surrounding area by means of mathematical models and internationally recognized
Safety software.
It is intended to give an insight into how the physical effects resulting from the release
of hazardous substances can be calculated by means of computerized models and how
the vulnerability models can be used to translate the physical effects in terms of injuries
and damage to exposed population & environment.

MODELS FOR DETERMINING THE SOURCE STRENGTH FOR THE RELEASE

OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
Source strength of a release means the quantity of the substance released with respect
to time. The release may be instantaneous or continuous. In case of instantaneous
release, the strength of the source is given in kg whereas in continuous release source
strength depends on the outflow time and expressed in kg/s. In order to find the source
strength, it is first necessary to determine the state of a substance in a vessel or pipe
along with physical properties, viz. vapor pressure & minimum ignition energy required.
Phase of petroleum Product at the time of accidental release is also to be determined.
This may be gas, gas condensed to liquid or liquid in equilibrium with its vapor.
Instantaneous Release
In the event of the instantaneous release of a liquid a pool of liquid will form. The
evaporation can be calculated on the basis of pool size, volatile nature of the product
(i.e. vapor pressure) and meteorological conditions.
Semi-Continuous Outflow
In the case of a semi continuous outflow, it is again first of all necessary to determine
whether it is gas, a gas condensed to liquid or liquid that is flowing out. The following
situations can occur here.
(A) Gas Outflow:

The model with which the source strength is determined in the event of a gas outflow is
based on the assumption that there is no liquid in the system.
(B) Vapor Outflow:

If the outflow point is located above the liquid level, vapor outflow will occur. In the case
of a gas compressed to liquid the liquid will start boiling as a result of the drop in
pressure. The source strength of the out flowing vapor is a function of the pressure in
the storage system and after the liquid has reached the boiling point at atmospheric
pressure the temperature will remain constant.
(C) Pressurized Liquefied Gas Outflow:

If the outflow point is located below the liquid level, liquid outflow will occur resulting in
flash off. The outflow will generally be so violent that the liquid will be turned into drops

KADAPA NEW IRD
as a result of the intensity of the evaporation. The remaining liquid, which is cooled
down to boiling point, will start spreading on the ground and forms a pool. Evaporation
will also take place from this pool, resulting in a second semi continuous vapor source.
(D) Liquid Outflow:

In case of liquid outflow, discharge due to over all head difference takes place.
Model For Evaporation
In application of evaporation models, petroleum product is a case of volatile liquid. From

the pool, which has formed, evaporation will take place as a result of the heat flow from
the ground and solar radiation. The evaporation model only takes account of the heat
flow from the ground since the heat resulting from solar radiation is negligibly small
compared with the former. The evaporation rate depends on the kind of liquid and the
kind of subsoil.
Model For Dispersion
The gas or vapor released either instantaneously or continuously will be spread in the
surrounding area under the influence of the atmospheric turbulence. In the case of gas
dispersion, a distinction is required to be made between neutral gas dispersion and
heavy gas dispersion.
The concentrations of the gas released in the surrounding area can be calculated by
means of these dispersion models. These concentrations are important for determining
the nature of accidents for example an explosive gas cloud formation injuries will occur
in the case of toxic gases.
Heavy Gas Dispersion Model
If the gas density is higher than that of air due to higher molecular weight or marked
cooling, it will tend to spread in a radial direction because of gravity. This results in a
"gas pool" of a particular height and diameter. As a result of this, in contrast to a neutral
gas, the gas released may spread against the direction of the wind.
Model For Heat Load And Shock Waves
Model For Flare
If an out-flowing gas forms a cloud with concentrations between the lower and upper
explosion limit and ignition takes place, a torch occurs. A model with which the length of
a torch and the thermal load for the surrounding area can be calculated, assumes an
elliptic shaped torch. The volume of the flare in this model is proportional to the outflow.

KADAPA NEW IRD
In order to calculate the thermal load, flare is regarded as a point source located at the
center of the flare. This center is taken as being half a flare length from the point of
outflow.
Model FOR POOL FIRE
The schematic of a pool fire is depicted in Figure 7. The heat load on objects outside a
burning pool of liquid can be calculated with the heat radiation model. This model uses
average radiation intensity, which is dependent on the liquid. Account is also taken of
the diameter-to-height ratio of the fire, which depends on the burning liquid. In addition,
the heat load is also influenced by the following factors:
* Distance from the fire

* Relative humidity (water vapor has relatively high heat absorbing capacity)
* The orientation i.e. horizontal/vertical of the object irradiated with respect to the fire
Injuries Resulting From Flammable Liquids And Gases
In the case of flammable liquids and gases and immediate ignition a pool fire or a flare
will occur depending on the conditions. The injuries in this case are mainly caused by
heat radiation.
Damage Models For Heat Radiation
It is assumed that everyone inside the area covered by the fire ball, a torch, a burning
pool or gas cloud will be burned to death or will asphyxiate. The following Probit
functions are an example of a method, which can be used to calculate the percentage of
lethality, and first-degree burns that will occur at a particular thermal load and period of
exposure of an unprotected body.
Lethality: Pr = -36.83 + 2.56 ln (t.q4/3)
First degree burn symptoms: Pr = -39.83 + 3.0186 in (t.q4/3)
In which, t = exposure time in seconds and;

q = thermal load W/m2
Two values have been chosen for the exposure time to heat radiation:
* 10 seconds: for exposed persons in populated area it is assumed that they

will have found protection from the heat radiation e.g. from a wall, within 10
seconds
* 30 seconds: this pessimistic assumption applies if people do not run away
immediately or when no protection is available

Damage Criteria for Pool Fire
Spilled Product Fire Scenario
In HPCL, Kadapa white Oil terminal, handling of petroleum products (MS, HSD, SKO, FO
& Ethanol) for any leakage or spillage at Tank Wagon unloading Gantry or leakage in any
of the Tank Truck at the Tank Lorry Filling Shed and at the Pump House, there will be
accumulation of petroleum products. In either of the cases if it catches fire depending on
availability of potential ignition source in the vicinity, it will take form of a Spilled Product
Fire. But this fire has comparatively less impact on the surrounding area and there are
less chances of damaging the other facilities of the Depot.
Analysis For Propensity Towards Predicted Consequences
Risk of operation of any activity involving hazardous chemicals consists of the following
two elements:
1. Consequences of certain unwanted event &

2. Propensity that these consequences will occur.
Propensity or likelihood of the predicted consequence for the Installation will depend
upon the following items:
1. Propensity of the Depot towards occurrence of initiating event.

2. Propensity that the designed counter measures provided in the Installation
would fail.

KADAPA NEW IRD
Propensity of A Certain Consequence Of An Accident
Any initiating event would take place first, there after the designed counter measures
would attempt to limit the effects of the initiating event. Such deviations from the
intended operation may lead to an accident. In reality, accident scenario and severity of
the consequences will depend on type of product leaked, quantity of the product leaked,
location of the incident (tank farm/TW Product unloading gantry/pump shed/T/T plate
form), availability of ignition source, response of emergency systems and emergency
team, weather conditions (wind velocity & direction), etc. Further propensity of being
killed or injured would also depend on the aspects like time of accident and number of
people in damage area at that time.
Probability Estimation for Occurance of MCA Scenario
Applying equipment failure rate data and ignition probability data probability values have
been estimated for consequences of various MCA scenarios, which are as follows:
For the following accident scenarios the categorization is as follows, which is inferred on
the basis of past accident analysis, information & approach provided in Green Book &
Purple Book of EFFECTS, TNO:
S.N. Categorization Probability Range

1. Low < 10-3 To< or = 10-4 per year
2. Very Low < 10-4 To< or = 10-6 per year
3. Extremely Low < 10-6 per year on wards
The probabilities for various accident scenarios have been estimated as follows:
S.N. Accident Scenario Probability

1. Spilled Product catching fire Very Low (about 10-5 per year)
2. Jet Fire in POL Pipeline/Product Pump Very Low (about 10-5 per year)
House/Tank Farm/TLF Shed/TT Decanting
Area/Tank Truck
3. Pool Fire in SKO/HSD tank in Main Tank farm Very Low (about 10-6 per year)
4. Tank On Fire Very Low (about 10-7 per year)
Mitigation/Preventive Measures For MCA Scenarios
In order to mitigate/prevent any minor incident from becoming a major accident

following measures along with Onsite and if required Offsite Emergency
(Disaster) Management Plan should be followed:

KADAPA NEW IRD
1. Spillage in tank area: small leakage through tank valves/joints will take a form of
spillage if not identified immediately. If this spillage gets on contact with ignition
source will take a form of fire and lead to an accident. In order to prevent it from
becoming a major accident, stop the operation immediately. Remove the spillage
with proper corrective method from that area. REMOVE SPILLED PRODUCT using
Sand or Fire Extinguishers (By Spreading Foam Solution). Do not touch or walk
through spilled material, stop leak if possible. Use water spray to reduce vapor,
do not put water directly on leak or spill area. And if ignition of spilled product
takes place necessary emergency procedure must be followed as soon as possible
to avoid damage to other property due to secondary effect accidents. For small
spillage, flush area with flooding amounts of water.
2. Pool Fire in Dyke Area: Failure of outlet valve of tanks or any one of valve will
lead to leakage of product. This will form a pool inside dyke area if not identified
immediately. This pool if comes in contact with an ignition source will lead to an
major accident. In order to mitigate it, stop the operation immediately. Be ready
will all fire fighting equipments at the site. Start sprinkler system to cool the
surrounding tanks. Immediately follow both onsite and offsite emergency plan.
3. Tank On Fire: For preventing tank on fire, cool the surrounding tanks by means of
sprinkler system and foam system. Bring all fire fighting equipments at the site
and start fighting with fire following proper onsite emergency plan.
4. Unconfined Vapor Cloud Explosion: UVCE is a secondary domino effect. Vapors

releasing into atmosphere are not in so much quantity that it lead to an
explosion. For an ignition, a proper mixture of fuel to air is required, if this
mixture between UEL & LEL comes in contact with an ignition source, it will lead
to an explosion. In order to prevent it, immediately stop the leakage from the
source by identifying it. For this, it is recommended to install hydrocarbon
Detector in Pump House area, Tank Farm area and TT Gantry area.

Emergency Preparedness Measures


KADAPA NEW IRD
Emergency Preparedness Measures (Clause No 12.0)
12.1 Emergency Drills & Mock Exercises (As per clause No. 12.1)
In emergency management time is very important, the initial few minutes are
critical and timely action may contain the emergency. For persons to perform
quickly their assigned roles, it is essential that each individual should be made
aware of emergency rehearsals which will impart procedures and their individual
roles through proper training.
Testing & Mock drills for On-site emergency plans are carried out once every
fortnight. These mock drills cover various probable emergency scenarios e.g. a
fire, explosion, gas leak, electrical fire, evacuation etc. Mock drill results are
reviewed by OIC and reports communicated to HQO HSE Dept online every
month.
Mock Drill rehearsals are carried out as per scheduled frequency (i.e. Mock Drills
on Half Yearly and off site Drill on yearly basis) involving Dept of Factories,
Police, Fire Dept, Mutual Aid members considering different scenarios to improve
awareness and to build up the confidence among the employees for quick and
correct action as per their role and responsibilities to mitigate the Emergency.
Mock Drill rehearsal of On Site Emergency action plan is carried out once in a
fortnight. On completion of the mock drill rehearsal, the debriefing meeting
chaired by Officer In-charge of the unit is conducted to ensure the efficacy of the
rehearsal and to discuss the observations. Recommendations/observations
received from the observers in this regards are complied with time bound
schedule.
Moreover the rehearsal on “Off-site emergency action” has been conducted with
the consent of and under the guidelines of District Collector for surrounding MAH
industries.
Last on site emergency mock drill rehearsal was conducted on 02nd

November 2017.

A representative estimate of the exposed populations is sufficient to

determine the acceptability of societal risks by determining the order of
magnitude of potential fatalities within a population group.
The basis of the population assigned to the facility will be based on the data
available according to the 2011 population Census near Kadapa HPCL new
KADAPA NEW IRD
oil terminal area. The population covered in a distance 5000m perpendicular

to the plant premises on either side is considered.
Further analysis of the population will be conducted in order to define various
factors associated with the population presence, e.g. day/night variation,
fraction of time spent indoor etc. For all on-site population, the presence factor
of 0.2 is considered and for off-site population the presence factor of 1.0 is
considered. Predominantly in this study, off-site population is considered for all
risk estimation. Based on the 2011 India census report and area of consideration,
the following table is proposed for population density.

KADAPA NEW IRD
c) The police will be an important component of all disaster management

plans as they will be associated with investigation of incident
s/disasters. Police take overall charge of the Off-Site situation until the
arrival of the district collector or its representative at the scene.
d) The fire services are one of the first responders and shall be adequately
trained and equipped to handle chemical emergencies. Fire services
are to acquire a thorough knowledge of likely hazards at the incident
site and the emergency control measures required to contain it.
e) In a chemical emergency, the revenue department shall coordinate

with other agencies for evacuation, establishment of shelters and
provision of food, etc.
f) When required for evacuation purposes in a chemical emergency, the

department of transport should made transport promptly available.
g) The role of civil society and private sector in the Off-Site plan shall be
defined.
h) The health department needs to assure that all victims get immediate
medical attention on the site as well as at the hospitals/health-care
facility where they are shifted. In addition, the department needs to
network all the health-care facilities available in the vicinity for effective
management and also take effective measures to prevent the
occurrence of any epidemic.
i) Pollution control boards need to ascertain the developing severity of

the emergency in accordance with responsive measures by constant
monitoring of the environment. If and when an area is fit for entry will
depend upon the results of the monitoring. A decontamination
operation would be required to be carried out with the help of other
agencies and industries.
j) The NDRF and SDRF are the specialised forces to manage these
disasters in a longer run according to the severity and nature of the
disaster. Their specialised training is an effective measure that needs to
be built up and maintained with time for achieving a higher standard
of preparedness. They need to coordinate with other local agencies

Integration of ERDMP with NDMP


KADAPA NEW IRD
Integration of ERDMP with NDMP (As per Clause No 29.0)
29.1 National Disaster Management Plan (NDMP)
On 23 December 2005, the Government of India took a definite step towards

NDMP by enacting the NDMP ACT, 2005. The NDMP Act, 2005 covers all aspects
of disasters from prevention, mitigation, preparedness to rehabilitation,
reconstruction and recovery.
National Disaster Management Guidelines Chemical Disasters (Industrial)
The growth of chemical industries has led to an increase in the risk of occurrence
of incidents associated with hazardous chemicals (HAZCHEM). Common causes
for chemical accidents are deficiencies in safety management systems and
human errors, or they may occur as a consequence of natural calamities or
sabotage activities. Chemical accidents result in fire, explosion and / or toxic
release.
With formulation of National Disaster Management Guidelines—Chemical

Disasters. There has been a paradigm shift in the government’s focus from its
rescue, relief, and restoration-centric approach to a planning, prevention /
mitigation and preparedness approach. It has been realized that effective
Chemical Disaster Management (CDM) is possible by the adoption of preventive
and mitigation strategies as most chemical disasters are preventable in
comparison to natural disasters that are difficult to predict and prevent. With this
renewed emphasis, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) took up
the task of strengthening CDM in recognition of the gravity of the risk posed by
HAZCHEM.
The main stakeholders in the management of chemical disasters are Ministry of

Environment and Forests (MoEF; the nodal ministry); Ministry of Home Affairs
(MHA); Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoH & FW); Ministry of Labour
and Employment (MoLE); Ministry of Agriculture (MoA); Ministry of Shipping,
Road Transport and Highways (MoSRT & H); Ministry of Defence (MoD); Ministry
of Chemicals and Fertilizers (MoC & F); Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas
(MoP & NG), Department of Atomic Energy (DAE); state governments and Union
Territories (UTs) and the chemical industries.

Manmade Disasters
Man-made disasters are the result of carelessness or human errors during

technological and industrial use. The disasters are in the form of accidents,
which occur all of a sudden and take a huge toll on life and property. Unnatural
and manmade disasters such as road accidents, industrial accidents, fires,
accidents in quarries and mines, drowning, explosion etc. may occur due to
some technical blunders or man made changes in the environment.
Man-made disasters are mainly of two types:
Local disasters:
These are small-scale disasters such as train accidents, plane crashes and
shipwrecks.
Industrial and technological disasters:
These are much larger in scale and are the result of technology failures or
industrial accidents. Such disasters affect both local population and may even
cover a much larger area. Industrial disasters result due to accidental leakage of
water or air pollutants. Many of the chemicals are extremely toxic and
carcinogenic which affect the human population in an adverse way. Some people

KADAPA NEW IRD
die instantly while others are crippled for whole life in the form of blindness,
paralysis and many other chronic diseases
Impact on the environment:
Leakage of toxic chemicals from the industries and accidents in the nuclear
reactors has short-term and long-term effects on the environment and human
health. Short-term effects on human health relate to casualties and diseases like
blindness, cancer, paralysis, heart trouble, gastric and respiratory abnormalities.
Long-term effects include genetic imbalances in humans and its impact on the
future generations. Soil and water sources also remain polluted for long
durations of time
Prevention, control and mitigation:
Man-made disasters can be minimized to a large extent by adopting the

following measures:
1. Proper training of personnel working in the hazardous industries.

2. Proper maintenance and care of safety measures.
3. Removing human encroachments around hazardous industries.
4. Making the people aware about the first-aid methods in case of accidents.
5. Applying wet cloth over the mouth and nose in case of gas leakages
minimizes the health hazards.
6. Remaining indoors in case of radioactive accidents.
7. Providing the people with proper medical care, in some cases throughout their
life.
8. Providing adequate compensation to the affected people by way of money and
employment.

Some of the Industrial and technological disasters which were happened in the
past.
Bhopal Gas Tragedy (BGT):
The most serious industrial disaster occurred on December 3, 1984 at Bhopal,
India, which is known as the Bhopal Gas Tragedy (BGT). The Bhopal gas tragedy
occurred due to leakage of methyl isocyanide (MIC) gas from the factory of
Union Carbide of India Ltd. MIC gas is used as an ingredient in pesticides.
It leaked from the factory and formed the deadly cloud over Bhopal. People
living in slums in the vicinity of the factory were the most affected and more
than 5000 people were killed, half of them due to direct exposure and other half
due to after affects. MIC is a colourless gas which causes severe irritation,
violent coughing, swelling of the lungs, bleeding and death due to direct
inhalation. It also caused loss of eye-sight in more than 1000 people. More than
50,000 people were affected with respiratory, eye, gastric, neurological and
gynaecological problems.
Jaipur oil depot fire
The Jaipur oil depot fire broke out on 29 October 2009 at 7:30 PM (IST) at the
Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) oil depot's giant tank holding 8,000 kilolitres
(280,000 cu ft) of petrol, in Sitapura Industrial Area on the outskirts of Jaipur,
Rajasthan, killing 12 people and injuring over 300. The blaze continued to rage
out of control for over a week after it started and during the period half a million
people were evacuated from the area. The oil depot is about 16 kilometers
(9.9 mi) south of the city of Jaipur
The incident occurred when petrol was being transferred from the Indian Oil
Corporation's oil depot to a pipeline. There were at least 40 IOC employees at
the terminal (situated close to the Jaipur International Airport) when it caught
fire with an explosion. The Met department recorded a tremor measuring 2.3 on
the Richter scale around the time the first explosion at 7:36 pm which resulted
in shattering of glass windows nearly 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) from the accident
site.
Institutional Framework
The State Disaster Management Authority

KADAPA NEW IRD
In order to respond to disasters the State Disaster Management Plan allows all
disaster specific mechanisms to work together at the time of emergency. For this
purpose the existing administrative set up at State level needs to be defined and
make it more specific and operational in terms of emergency management. The
Incident Response System (IRS) which has been taken as an effective disaster
management system and customized in Indian context considering the
administrative establishment proposes Chief Secretary as the head supported by
the Secretary of Disaster Management Unit (DMU) at State level and district
collectors at district level with Emergency Operation Centres (EOC).
The State Disaster Management Authority headed by the Chief Minister is the
apex body for disaster management in the State. The other members of the
authority as stipulated in DM Act 2005.
The State Executive Committee
The State Executive Committee comprises the State Chief Secretary as the
Chairperson. Other members of the committee would be as stipulated in DM Act
2005.
The Home Department will be the Nodal Department for disaster management
and under the leadership of the Additional Chief Secretary/ Principal Secretary
Home and Secretary/OSD, SDMA shall play the coordinating role in disaster
management. All departments shall ensure adequate assistance to the nodal
department.
The District Disaster Management Authority
The District Disaster Management Authority is headed by the District

Magistrate/District Collector of the District with the chairperson of the Zilla
Parishads as the Co-Chairperson. The other members of the authority will be as
stipulated in DM Act 2005.
The State Disaster Emergency Response Force
The State will create response capabilities from within its existing resources by
equipping and training at least one battalion equivalent force for effective
management of disasters and necessary training arrangement will be made for
the force in disaster management skills in consultation with the National Disaster
Response Force.
State Police and Fire Services
The State Police Forces and the Fire Services are crucial responders to disasters.
The police force will be trained in disaster management skills and the Fire
Services will be upgraded to acquire multi-hazard rescue capability.

KADAPA NEW IRD
Civil Defence and Home Guards
The mandate of the Civil Defence and the Home Guards will be redefined to
assign an effective role in the field of disaster management. They will be
deployed for community preparedness and public awareness. A culture of
voluntary reporting to duty stations in the event of any disasters will be
promoted.
