INTRODUCTION:
This document establishes requirements applicable to all employees in
Lufkin in the office, free zone, call- out groups or any locations managed
by Lufkin. This is part of planning for the worst to be prepared for injury
or accident mitigation when happened.

It is unwise to adopt a "can’t happen here" attitude regarding serious

accidents or emergencies. This led to failure in hazard anticipation, and so
is unprepared when an accident or emergency happens.Emergency
incident management depends on developing and regularly testing an
emergency plan. This plan should
1. Address various realistic emergency scenarios and details specific
response and responsibilities
2. Detail what to do when an emergency situation occurs, or when it is
anticipated that a given situation could escalate into an emergency
3. Recognize the people best suited to control the emergency
4. Specifically identify the person in charge.

Regular testing of the plan identifies its strengths and weaknesses and
allows for correction and revision. Lufkin management sees to test this
plan annually through drill plan. Above all, the emergency plan and any
associated response requirements must lead to an organized response to
any anticipated emergency situation.
1. purpose:
This procedure for emergency preparedness and response contains
provisions to identify, implement, and update emergency response
programs necessary for facility operations. The purpose of this procedure
is to provide detailed guidance to all emergency Response Members to
effectively control an emergency situation effectively throughout the
project. Specific requirements, roles and responsibilities, and action plans
are documented in this plan to minimize the damages of an emergency
incident. The plan includes fire, road accidents, crane accidents, fork lift
accidents. According to Lufkin risk assessment, driving in the desert is
one of the major emergencies we are facing so, The purpose of this
document is to outline the minimum driving safety rules for all Lufkin
employees.

Fire emergency preparedness plan

Free zone center

Due to small staffing levels at the Lufkin free zone area and the area is
small office building surrounded with empty yard, and due to the nature
of stacked products which are mainly steel, and due to risk assessment
which indicate that the yard has no high fire risk, all activities are carried
out in the free area, so the fire alarm system is semi- automatic alarm
system, in worst case if the arm system fails, direct voice communications
or phone calls . And they are all will be utilized for sounding alarms for
emergencies. In the event of an emergency requiring evacuation, all
employees shall exit the building by Way of the nearest safe exit according
to the sign. The building has two safe exits, the first at the front door and
the other exit at the rear door

employees.
2. Customer Diagnostic services available.
3. Available pharmaceuticals and sterile medical supplies.
4. Safe blood and blood products supply.
5. Healthcare arrangements with the neighboring industries and
customers.
Where local medical facilities are not equipped to handle serious or life
threatening conditions in the remote locations or during driving, it is
imperative procedures are in place to transport employees to the nearest
facility equipped to handle these medical conditions. If alternative
emergency medical evacuation providers are considered, the following
factors are to be evaluated:
 Availability of emergency transportation to and from designated
medical facilities or hospitals.
 Familiarity of the emergency transportation provider with the pick-up
area and the designated medical facility or hospital.

Crane, trucks or forklift injuries in the area of the free zone

Assess the scale of the incident. Consider evacuation. Ensure the
Emergency Services have been called and that they are aware of the
preliminary details prior to arrival. Ensure that casualties are receiving
adequate First Aid. Ensure that the reasons for the fatality/injury are
recorded.
The first aid trained employees in the location must assess the severity of
the injury and take appropriate action to ensure the injured employee
receives the proper medical attention. In order for the employees to take
this action, they must categorize the injury.

Category 1:

Page 8 of 14

LUFKIN Issue # 1
MIDDLE EAST Lufkin emergency preparedness plan Date: 1/02/2012

The injured employee is conscious and can answer questions regarding

the injury. The injured employee states that it is not serious and does not
require immediate medical attention; it does not or probably will not
require a doctor to examine the injured employee.

Example: An employee slips while climbing off the truck and hits his arm
on the truck bed hits his buttocks on the ground, or twists his ankle.

Category 2:
The injured employee is conscious and can answer questions about his
injury and the accident or cause of injury. The injured employee feels he is
in pain and can be transported by the driver to a medical facility and be
examined and treated by a doctor. In other words, he can wait a few
minutes.

Example: An employee is hit in the hand, arm, or leg by a piece of

equipment during loading or unloading or is suddenly sprung loose, by a
hammer being used by another employee. There is a good chance of
broken bones but the employee can wait until transported to the doctor.
The delay in transporting cannot exceed 30 minutes.

Category 2:-cont.
Example: Another example is a deep laceration to the hand, arm, leg, or
part of the body that results in bleeding that can be stopped by applying
pressure. If the bleeding is not bright red blood or spurting as if from an
artery, and direct pressure to the wound stops the bleeding, the employee
needs to be transported to the nearest medical facility at a safe but rapid
speed. In this type of injury, the employee may not be conscious or has
great difficulty in

Category 3:
Communicating due to his injury. If the employee is unconscious and
cannot answer questions regarding his condition, he should be
transported immediately to the nearest medical facility equipped to handle
such an emergency. In cases where the injured has suffered severe
damage to his body due to crushing, pinching, falling, or being struck by,
and they cannot be moved for fear of possible aggravation to the injury,
then actions should be taken to get medical help to them immediately.
Depending on how far from a medical facility the injured is, a call may be
made to either an Emergency Medical Service within the free zone area or
call the ambulance at no. Immediately.

Example:
If the injured has been crushed by a counterweight on any part of their
body it is essential to get them to a medical facility immediately. If the
injured has been struck by a piece of equipment from the pumping unit
either on the head or chest area, time is critical.

The role of first Aiders:

1. Provide first aid prior to the arrival of the emergency services.

2. Provide ongoing assistance to the emergency services.
3. Respond to advice from the HSE manager.
4. In case of fire alarm without other advice, do not move the casualty
unless their position is perilous, proceed to assembly point and report
the Casualty’s position.

Oilfield locations

In the event of an emergency in a field location, employees will report the

emergency to the company representative to receive instructions as per
their policy. If they are unable to contact the company representative, then
they should contact their supervisor immediately to get assistance on the
way without delay. All fires and other emergencies will be reported verbally
to management immediately.

Written reports for assessments may be requested only after the

immediate emergency has been resolved. All employees will assemble at
the designated assembly point as declared by the person announcing the
emergency. Field employees will remove themselves from the point of the
emergency to an area such that they are situated upwind or crosswind,
and out of danger.

The field supervisor will account for each employee at the assembly point
and keep all employees there until released by senior management, the
safety director, or the proper civil authorities.

All employees trained in First Aid and CPR will remain available to render
aid to any person or persons that may require it. A list of persons to be
contacted for further information concerning emergency procedures and
duties may be found posted throughout each office.

suspected to be greater than 10 parts per million (ppm) by volume in air at
the employees' breathing zone without wearing proper supplied air
respiratory protective equipment.
In the event that someone is overcome by H2S, Lufkin Service’s policy is
as follows:
1. Contact the supervisor or dispatcher to start help on the way to you.
Should you not call first upon finding a victim and you are overcome
as well, no one would know about the emergency and both victims
would not be found until either late that day or even the next
morning.
2. In the event of a gas leak, run crosswind first and then upwind. If
you are downwind of the leak and you run upwind, you will put
yourself in the middle of the leak (so running upwind is not always
the first direction to run).
3. In the event of an encounter with H2S causing personal H2S gas
monitor to alert at 10 PPM or greater crew will evacuate location
cross wind and up wind as noted on PW
4. After evacuating to a safe muster point contact direct supervisor or
safety coordinator as well as Area personnel.
5. Area response team will come out to test for H2S. If area response
team does not find H2S to be present the area will be cleared to
return to the location and begin working. If H2S is still present
Lufkin crew will wait until the Area response team clears the location
and deems it suitable to return to work

Office building emergency plan:
