I. Assign Accountability

Senior Management shall be responsible for communicating with internal and


external resources of the business in the event of an emergency. They shall follow
standard operating procedures. The Senior Management has the authority to declare an
emergency, shut down company facilities and communicate with the media. In the event
of an emergency that requires a facility-wide evacuation they will send an announcement
to all employees. The Senior Management must be able to quickly assess an emergency
situation, determine the level of impact, assess the effect, contain the incident and assign
the proper resources.
If the emergency warrants, they should communicate immediately with the key
shareholders. After reviewing the emergency situation, a decision will be made by the
key shareholders on a plan of action and whether or not to activate the Emergency
Management and Business Continuity Plan.

IV. Methods to mitigate the impact of risks: (measures)
1. Improve methods and procedures for storing, transporting, handling, and processing
hazardous materials.
2. Promote compliance with safety codes, regulations, and statutes.
3. Develop and enforce land-use plans that regulate the location of sites with hazardous
chemicals.
4. Increase public and community awareness and support for prevention.
Hazardous Material Handling
● Hazardous materials are substances that are flammable or combustible, explosive, toxic,
noxious, corrosive, oxidizable, irritants or radioactive. A hazardous material spill or
release can pose a risk to life, health or property. An incident may necessitate evacuation
of a few people, a section of the facility or the entire surrounding neighborhood.
● Identify and label all hazardous materials stored, handled, produced and disposed of by
your facility. 
● Containers of non-hazardous substances, such as water, are labeled explicitly to avoid
confusion.
● Liquid chemicals must be kept in secondary containment.
● Hazardous materials must be stored next to or above sinks.
● Flammable materials should be stored away from each other.
● Follow all government regulations that apply to your facility. Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
for all hazardous materials at your location should be stored in a centralized location
where all employees have access.

Fire Hazards
● Fire safety information will be distributed to employees: 
● How to prevent fires in the workplace.
● How to contain a fire.
● How to evacuate the facility and where to report a fire. 
● Know where all emergency exits are located on each floor as well as an alternate exit site.
● Maps of evacuation routes will be posted in prominent places. 
● Smoke detectors will be checked for proper operation once per month, and batteries will
be replaced every six months.
● Keep stairwell doors closed at all times except during evacuation to minimize spreading
of fire from the “chimney effect”. 
● Keep aisles clear of obstacles. Do not store equipment in aisles or block doorways. Do
not block exits. 
● Safeguard all flammable materials. 
● Avoid overloading plugs or power strips. 
● Maintain good housekeeping in all areas of the building, since this is one of the most
effective means of preventing fire. 
● Obey “No Smoking” policies in the building or on the property.
Environmental Hazard
● Develop and enforce land-use plans that regulate the location of sites with hazardous
chemicals.
● Must properly identify and segregate each waste stream so their volumes can be
minimized and properly managed.
● Setting explicit goals for reducing the volume and toxicity of waste.
● Facilitate an environmentally sound collection and proper recycling or treatment.
● Conducting periodic assessment to minimize waste.

Injuries to Multiple Employees/Fatalities


● Training 
● Employers must provide initial and refresher training to every employee involved in
operating a PSM-covered process. 
● Training must cover process-specific safety and health hazards, operating procedures,
safe work practices, and emergency shutdown procedures. 
● The level of training may vary for each employee. 
● All employees, including maintenance and contractor employees involved with
explosives and pyrotechnics manufacturing, need to fully understand the safety and
health hazards of the materials and processes they work with so they can protect
themselves and their fellow employees.
● Practical training for those involved in initiating and preparing emergency drills.
● General staff training to ensure that all staff are aware of their roles in a crisis.
● Specific training in the operation of the plans and procedures in a crisis – this is closely
related to the testing and exercising activity.

Neighboring Community Hazards


● Increase public and community awareness and support for prevention of possible
incidents.
● Developed a neighborhood evacuation plan. 
● Distribute maps of evacuation plans to community members.
● Availability of warnings—how much warning time there is, and whether there is a
warning system. Warning comprises several processes including monitoring conditions,
forecasting levels, disseminating warnings, and influencing those at risk to take effective
action to prepare for and respond to warnings.
● Warnings have to be received, not merely issued. 
● You may say what you like, how you like, where you like and when you like but if it does
nor evoke appropriate protective behavior from the people at risk then you have not been
warned. 
● There is a need to encompass (whenever possible) the other aspects of the populations at
risk such as age, mobility, gender, socio-economic status, ethnicity etc.

Calamity
● Supervisors may choose to suspend or delay work operations until severe weather has
lifted. 
● Be aware of site specific evacuation procedures for the facility where you are working. 
● Whenever a major storm or other natural disaster threatens, remain alert and monitor cell
phone, radio or television broadcasts to hear weather reports and forecasts as well as
other information and advice that may be broadcast by the local government. 
● Stay away from any disastrous areas.
● Improved drainage, utilities and others that could be affected during a major natural
disaster.

V. Crisis Management Team:


The individuals who are authorized to activate the Plan, thereby authorizing that all involved
personnel be notified. However, before the CMT will be able to intelligently decide whether or not to
declare a disaster and activate the Plan, they must be fully informed of the situation. For this
purpose, the CMT or Senior Management will obtain, solicit and consolidate information concerning
the severity of the outage, and the estimated length of time to repair and/or restore the damaged
equipment. The CMT also has the responsibility for the logistical, administrative, and security
functions that support the business recovery and resumption effort.

i. Identify the character, exact source, amount, and areal extent of any released hazardous materials.
ii. Assess possible hazards to human health or the environment that may result from the explosion, fire, or
release. This assessment must consider both direct and indirect effects (e.g., the effects of any toxic, irritating,
or asphyxiating gases that are generated, the effects of any hazardous surface water run-off from water or
chemical agents used to control fire, etc.).

iii. Activate internal facility alarms or communications systems, where applicable, to notify all facility

spread to other hazardous materials at the facility.

b. Before facility operations are resumed in areas of the facility affected by the incident, the emergency coordinator
shall:
i. Provide for proper storage and disposal of recovered waste, contaminated soil or surface water, or any other material that
results from an explosion, fire, or release at the facility.

ii. Ensure that no material that is incompatible with the released material is transferred, stored, or disposed of in areas of the
facility affected by the incident until clean-up procedures are completed.

iii. Ensure that all emergency equipment is cleaned, fit for its intended use, and available for use.
