7.2 ON-SITE EMERGENCY PLAN
7.2.1 Introduction
The emergency is an undesirable occurrence of events of such magnitude and nature that
adversely affect production, cause loss of human lives and property as well as damage to the
environment. The emergency may be man-made or natural type. The production unit has to be
prepared against such emergency/disaster and consequences.
It is difficult to forecast the time and nature of emergency, which might strike the unit. In spite of
the fact that every industry is expected to take steps to assess, minimize and wherever feasible
eliminate risks, accidents may occur, as risk can only be minimized, it can never be totally
eliminated.
7.2.2 Classification of Emergency/Disaster
Industrial units are vulnerable to various kinds of natural and man-made emergencies. Examples
of Natural disasters are flood, Cyclone, earthquake, lightening etc. and manmade disasters like
major fire, explosion, sudden heavy leakage of toxic / flammable gases, civil work plant failure,
human errors, vehicle crash, sabotage, Bomb-Threat, etc.
Thus, the emergency can be divided in the following types, depending upon the nature:
Figure 7-2: Nature of the Emergency
7.2.3 Nature of an Industrial Emergency / Disaster
Mode of emergency may depend upon the chemical property of the hazardous materials and
maximum storage inventory. Fire emergency may arise due to flammable property of the
Hazardous material. While explosive materials may create explosion emergency. Toxic gas
dispersion in atmosphere creates Toxic release Emergency. Further, uncontrollable chemical
reaction or dangerous occurrence may result into emergency. However, chemical incident can be
following types;
KADAM ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS | MAY 2016 147

Toxic /flammable gas/Vapour release as plume /puff from pipeline /fittings failures, tank ruptures
etc. including flashing liquids stored above their atmospheric boiling point.
 Ignition of flammable gases, vapours and liquids leading to fires

 Mechanical / confined vapour explosion (CVE) including deflagrations (slow burning) and
detonations (rapid burning)
 Dust explosions
 Collapse of the structures / Buildings / Sheds
 Barge collision
 Manmade incident/Disaster
 Natural Calamity, etc
7.2.4 Industrial Emergency / Disaster Plan
While preparing the emergency plan, worst possible scenario of the accident or incident of the Unit
should be considered. The worst effect of the maximum quantity of hazardous chemical, which
create major accident must be calculated.
Controlling the emergency will require prompt action by the operating staff, the staff of various
agencies, emergency teams and outsiders when called for. Minimizing the effect on people may be
achieved by prompt communication, rescue, evacuation etc., if the situation so warrants.
However, an effective emergency plan helps to minimize the losses in terms of human lives, plant
assets and environmental damage and to resume the working condition as soon as possible. In all
these steps “Speed is the Essence”.
7.2.5 Stages of the Plan
The plan consists of the actual performance of duties & responsibilities by designated personnel
and other agencies. Therefore, the plan is divided into three stages. The stage one is pre-
emergency period i.e. Normal activities before emergency or preparedness, awareness and
training parts.
While stage second explains actions during emergency period i.e. during actual emergency period,
specific duties are to be performed by designated personnel, using available resources & control
measures in systematic ways.
The third stage indicates post emergency period, which describes how to safe rehabilitation,
restarting, to face inquiry, to preserve evidences and records for remedial measures etc; as
required by various authorities. It also explains corrective steps from the incident and finding out
the correct reason behind the emergency, so that such type of incident will not occur again.
The chart of emergency plan, explaining how entire arrangement is required to manage, is
produced below;
Figure 7-3: Emergency Plan

7.2.6 Level of the Emergency
The level of Emergency can be classified according to the gravity of the situation at site. The
command and control will follow as per the level of emergency.
Level-I: On-Site Emergency
The type of emergency, which can be handled and controlled by the management with own
resources as per On-site emergency plan, is called as On-site or Level-I.
Level-II: Mutual Aided / Local crisis (Off-site)
If the Level-1, is uncontrollable by the management, further help is needed, the neighboring units
or mutual aided local units will provide their resources to tackle the situation. The emergency of
the unit which is handled and controlled by the outside resources, is called as Mutual Aided local
crisis or Level-II. Further, if this type of emergency is governed by Local Crisis Group then it is
called as Local Crisis or Level-2.
Level-III: District Crisis (Off-site)
Even after putting efforts as explained in Level-II, the situation becomes uncontrollable and
beyond the control of Local Crisis Management, than the District Crisis Group will take over the
charge & handle the emergency situation. This is termed as Level-III or District Crisis.

Level-IV: State Crisis / National Crisis (Off-Site)
If gravity and situation of the emergency is beyond control of Local or District Crisis Group, The
State/National Crisis Group has to command and control such crisis by utilizing all resources from
the State or Nation, as prevailing circumstances, and then it is called as State Crisis or National
Crisis.
7.2.7 Emergency Management & Response

well informed. Necessary vehicles shall be kept ready to shift the persons in case of emergency.
Reporting Incident
There are possibilities of various types of accidents or mishaps occurring in the factory premises.
Most are of minor type, while few cases may be major type. Sometimes there is no single incident
during the life span. However, when any incident occurs, it cannot be distinguished immediately,
the subsequent development or seriousness of such occurrence is required to handle safely.

It should be general practice that any person noticing the accident / fire / explosion / mishap at
the site, should shout “FIRE”, “FIRE” or “HELP”, “HELP” and such message should reach to
Supervisor / Shift Engineer / Senior Person of the unit. This way first information will reach to
responsible person. The information shall communicate regarding type of incident and type of help
needed.
It is said that root cause should be removed immediately. Similarly, if any incident takes place in
the premises it should be tackled with available resources, and it should be so responded that it is
contained immediately before spreading. If the incident looks severe and cannot be controlled by
simple efforts, the Shift Engineer or Senior Man should rush to the place and try to control by
using resources at the site.
Main Response during Fire
In Case of Fire
 Persons working near the incident or who has seen the incident are responsible to report the
details of the incident (Small, minor, major, etc) shift in-charge and shall act by all available
means to prevent/ control it till it is possible. Time being, shift in-charge will work as Incident
Controller, till IC (Designated Person) is arrived.

firefighting services for help and actions, police, Control Room, Authorities of LCG/DCG,
etc.; for necessary actions.
 Co-ordinate with Off-Site Fire Services and other emergency services and authorities to
control and contain the incident of fire.
Sequential Actions by Emergency Management
It is not possible to include and discuss every action, which should be taken first during
emergency. It is also not possible to describe entire actions on emergency situation. The basic
principle of handling emergency is to rely upon person, who has the knowledge and experience to
assess the situation and give direction as per the objectives as quickly as possible. However, the
aim is to control the situation by safest way in limited time within available resources. Further, it
should handle with care so that loss of life, property and environment is minimized. In short, the
plan should be successfully complied with.

resources and with help of expert persons’ advice
 On controlling the emergency, site main controller has to ascertain the risk and if he observes
the safe position, then he can declare “the emergency is over” and ask to blow the siren
declaring the withdrawal of emergency
 Only after declaration of withdrawal of emergency, the work by other people / workers should
be restarted by resuming the duties
 The site main controller, after consulting the authorities, can carry out the clearing procedure
to set the interrupted work and restart the process works
 In case of the situation of emergency is turning into more serious and uncontrollable by site
main controller even utilizing own all resources, than he should immediately ask and call the
Local Crisis Group to handle the situation.
Infrastructure
Assembly Point

7.2.9 Action Plan to Respond Specific Emergency
Introduction
The natural or man-made emergency/disaster can be identified as like Bomb Threat (Terrorism),
flood, Earthquake, Thunder Storm / Lightning Strike, Cyclone/Hurricane, Heavy Rain, Tsunami,
etc. The Response Actions on each disaster are explained as below;
Bomb Threat (Terrorism)
Response for Bomb Threat (Terrorism)

In the case of a threat being received at the site, the telephonist / security staff will record details
of the threat using the Bomb Threat Checklist. Receiver of bomb threat information will then,
immediately inform the control Room / Security In-charge. He will decide whether to alert the rest
of the Emergency Response Team.
The following factors are to be considered:
 The seriousness of the threat.

9. Resources available at the time. (e.g. For threats received out of normal working hours)
10. communication with local authorities, i.e. Police / Fire Services
11. Act on advice from local authorities.
12. Decide on the following action:
 To search and evacuate if anything suspicious is found

 Evacuate and then search.
 To evacuate immediately.
 In the event of a search, if an area was specified in the call, this would be searched first.

 At our site the most vulnerable areas to be searched first if no area is specified.
Action for Person working inan area where asuspect package, parcel or letter bomb is
found
 Do not touch or tamper with the object.

 Report finding to Security/Emergency Control Room immediately.
 Evacuate immediately the affected surrounding area for safety and security of working
personnel.
 Do not create panic.
Suspect Vehicle
Actions
 Check person’s car registration list (Security).

 Commercial vehicles currently on the site during an emergency will be documented in the
security record book.
 Inform Security officer/Plant manager/HR manager.
 Inform Local authorities/Emergency control Centre.
Suspect Persons / Individuals

Actions
 Inform Security/Human Resources.

 Do not approach, wait for security.
 Observe from a distance if possible and make notes.
Flood
Source
Following conditions are the sources of flooding inside the plant or buildings;
 Cloud bursting
 Heavy Rainfall
 Cyclone
 Tsunami
 High tide in River or Ocean
 Release of water from Dam or other nearby dam
Response
 Assess the situation through flood control room and inform Emergency Control Centre
 Go to the high level, if escape is not possible
 Shut off hazardous chemical supply valves. Close the other operations
 Remain calm, reassuring. Alert staff to potential hazards
 Look for loose or grounded / downed power lines. Avoid area. Report problems to Emergency
Control Centre
 Look for electrical system damage: sparks, broken/frayed wires, smell of burning insulation.
Turn off electricity at main switch, if you can without risk
 Do not re-enter the Building until declared safe by authority or emergency management
officials

 Stay well clear of any downed or damaged power lines. Establish a safe distance from the
lines and report the incident to the responsible authority. Only adequately-trained authorized
electrician will handle damaged power lines for corrective action
 Electrician will first assess the hazards present in order to minimize the chances of
exaggerating the situation. Idle the lines involved will be de-energized
 When working on downed or damaged power lines, electrical workers must utilize proper
electrical safe work practices and proper personnel protective equipment.
Dos & Don’ts

 Remember flood-warning signs and alert signals.
 Go to the safest routes to shelters.
 Don't walk through flooded areas. As little as six inches of moving water can knock you off
your feet. Snakes and other reptiles may be flowing through flooded water.
 Stay away from downed power lines and electrical wires. Electrocution is another major
source of deaths in floods. Remember electric current passes easily through water
 If the water start to rise inside your plant/Building before you have evacuated, go to the
higher levels.
 Take dry clothing, a flashlight and a portable radio with you. Then, wait for help.
 Don't try to swim; wait for resource to come to you.
 If outdoors, climb to high ground and stay there.
 There is a possibility of spread of water born diseases after flood, and hence medical
treatment shall be taken immediately.
 Inspect plant/Building for any cracks or other damage. Check all the walls, floors, ceilings,
doors and windows, so that any chance of house falling down can be ascertained and you will
be aware about the imminent danger.
 Move to your process/plant only when instructed by the HOD. It is not safe to believe that the
problems have ended after the floodwaters have receded.
 Check properly all the electric circuits, gas cylinders, or electric equipments like motor pump
etc. Check whether any inflammable or explosive material has not entered along with the
floodwater.
 Sewerage system will be checked and any damage shall be repaired immediately so as to
curtail spread of diseases.
 Empty the water clogged in the basement with help of De-watering pump so that damage to
infrastructure can be minimized.
 Rescue work will be undertaken immediately after flood situation as per the instruction. Do
not follow any shortcut for rescue work.
 Do not try to leave the safe shelter to go back plant/home until the official declare normalcy
after flood and instruction to return home/plant are not given.
Earthquake
During Earthquake, if Indoors:

 If possible escape to nearby open area away from electrical lines or other tall structures/
trees.
 Take cover under a piece of heavy furniture or against an inside wall and hold on.
 Stay inside.
 The most dangerous thing to do during the shaking of an earthquake is to try to leave the
building because objects can fall on you.

During Earthquake, if Outdoors:

 Move into the open, away from buildings, street lights, and utility wires.
 Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops.
During Earthquake, if in a moving vehicle:

 Stop quickly, park the vehicle on left side of the road, and if possible escape to nearby open
area away from electrical lines or other tall structures/ trees.
 Once the shaking has stopped, proceed with caution. Avoid bridges or ramps that might have
been damaged by the quake.
After Earthquake
 Be prepared for aftershocks. Although smaller than the main shock, aftershocks cause
additional damage and may bring weaken structures down. Aftershocks can occur in the first
hours, days, weeks, or even months after the quake.
 Help injured or trapped persons.
 Give first aid where appropriate.
 Do not move seriously injured persons unless they are in immediate danger of further injury.
 Call for help.
 Listen to a battery-operated radio or television for the latest emergency information.
 Remember to help your neighbors who may require special assistance-infants, the elderly, and
people with disabilities.
 Stay out of damaged buildings.
 Return home only when authorities say it is safe.
 Use the telephone only for emergency calls.
 Clean up spilled chemicals or other flammable liquids immediately. Leave the area if you smell
gas or fumes.
Thunderstorm & Lightning Strikes
Before
Thunderstorm is invariably accompanied by lightning A single stroke of lightning has 125,000,00
volts of electricity. That’s enough power to light a 100-watt light bulb for more than 3 months, or
enough to seriously hurt or to skill someone. Know what steps to take in the event of an oncoming
thunder storm & lightning. Lightning is something you should not be careless about, so seek a
safe shelter immediately! Be warned, lightning can and does strike just about any object in its
path. When you see lightning, follow these safety rules.
Indoors
 Stay or go indoors, If you hear thunder, don’t go outside unless absolutely necessary. Stand
clear from windows, doors, and electrical appliances.
 Stay away from anything that could conduct electricity. This includes electric lines, Electric
Instruments, wires etc and phones. Unplug appliances well before a storm strikes.
 Don’t use any plug-in electrical appliances like Cell phones, TV, music system, mixer, blender,
iron press, hair dryer, or electric razor etc. If lightning strikes your house, these electrical /
electronic gadgets can conduct the charge to you.

 Don’t use the telephone during the storm. Lightning may strike telephone lines outside. Use
the telephone quickly only for emergency purposes. Avoid contact with piping including sinks,
baths and faucets.
Outdoors
 When outdoors, seek shelter from lightning! Buildings are best for shelter, but if no buildings
are available, you can find protection in a cave, ditch, or a campus. Trees are not good cover.
Tall trees attract lightning. Never use a tree as a shelter.
 Stay in your vehicle if you are travelling, vehicles gives you excellent lightning protection. Get
in a hard topped car.
 If you can’t find shelter avoid the tallest object in the area. If only isolated trees are nearly,
your best protection is to crouch in the open, keeping the distance twice the height of isolated
trees. Avoid areas that are higher than the surrounding landscape.
 Don’t use metal objects outside. Keep away from metal objects including bikes, electric or
telephone poles, fencing, machinery etc.
 Get out of the water. Immediately get out and away from pools, lakes, and other bodies of
water.
 When you feel the electrical charge – if your hair stands on end or your skin tingles- lightning
may be about to strike near you. Immediately crouch down and cover your ears. Do not lie
down or place your hands on the ground.
 Victims of lightning shock are administered Cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) i.e. artificial
respiration, if necessary. Seek medical aid.
Cyclone/ Hurricane
General
The nature of a cyclone provides for more warning than other natural and weather disasters.
Preparation
 Stay calm and await instructions from the Emergency Coordinator or the designated officials.
 Continue to monitor local TV and radio stations for instructions.
 Move early out of low-lying areas, at the request of officials.
 If you are on high ground, plan to stay, secure the building, moving all loose items indoors
and close windows and openings.
 Collect drinking water in appropriate containers.
Warning
Be ready to evacuate as directed by the Emergency Coordinator and/or the designated official.
During a Cyclone
Remain indoors and consider the following:
 Small interior rooms on the lowest floor and without windows,

 Remain on the lowest floor away from doors and windows, and Rooms constructed with
reinforced concrete, brick, or reinforced blocks with no windows.
 Stay away from outside walls and windows.
 Use arms to protect head and neck.
 Remain sheltered until the cyclone threat is announced to be over.

Emergency Response for Heavy Rain
 Stay out of the basement.

 Stop all jobs outside.
 Heavy rain many times accompanies high-speed wind. Stop all work at height.
 Disconnection power supply to all electrical Machines in open yards.
 Cover all JBs\DBs where chances of water coming to it are there.
 Keep Gumboot, Raincoat and umbrellas ready.
 Keep all dewatering pumps ready in working order.
 Move valuable objects upstairs only if safe to do so, without straining yourself
 Keep yourself indoors and away from rivers and creeks
 Stay away from low/lying areas
 Avoid walking through a waterlogged area on foot; you can get swept away easily.
 Assemble everyone inside shelters or buildings.
 Close windows and blinds.
 Evacuate rooms that might bear the full force of the wind
 Avoid enclosures that have long roof spans.
 Keep the office radio tuned to a local station for current advisory information.
Response for Tsunami
The phenomenon Tsunami is a series of travelling ocean waves of extremely long length
generated primarily by earthquakes occurring below or near the ocean floor; occurrence of
tsunami:
Before
Be familiar with the tsunami signals. People living along the coast should consider an earthquake
or a sizable ground rumbling as a warning signal. A noticeable rapid rise or fall in coastal waters is
also a sign that a tsunami is approaching.
During
 Listen to a radio or television to get the latest emergency information, and be ready to
evacuate if asked to do so.
 If you hear a tsunami warning, move at one to higher ground and stay there until local
authorities say it is safe to return home.
 Move in an orderly, clam and safe manner to the evacuation.
 Stay away from the beach. Never go down to the beach to watch a tsunami come in.
 Return home/plant only after authorities advise it is safe to do so.
After
 Stay tuned to a battery- operated radio for the latest emergency information.
 Help injured or trapped persons.
 Stay out of damaged buildings. Return plant/home only when authorities say it is safe.
 Enter your home with caution. Use a flashlight/ torch when entering damaged buildings.
Check for electrical shorts and live wires. Do not use appliances or lights until an electrician
has checked the electrical system.
 Open windows and doors to help dry the building.
 Shovel mud while it is still moist to give walls and floors an opportunity to dry.
 Check Accumulated mud & do not drink, drinking water retained in the pot or container.

 If Fresh food that has come in contact with floodwater may be contaminated and will be
thrown out.
7.2.10 Action Plan during Off-Site Emergency
Off Site Emergency
When the industrial disaster cannot be controlled by using unit’s own resources, then, it is
necessary to involve Govt. and other external resources to control such emergency. Even when
Industrial disaster spread outside its premises and likely to affect / ought to be affected
surrounding population, other industries, etc. then also Govt. resources etc needed to control it.
This emergency called as Off Site Emergency & it will be controlled by either Local or District
authority under District Crisis group (DCG)/ (Local crisis group (LCG).
The emergency location will not change but the line of actions will be governed by crisis group
instead of unit’s authorities. The unit’s own authority has to extend facilities, liaison, and
coordination to the Local Crisis Group or District Crisis Group as per the requirement or situation.
Outside Participation/ Government Body
The emergency operations outside the factory premises are not different in character from those
applicable to on sites. Hence the approach to and preparation for on-site emergency detailed in
previous chapters will be applicable in case of Off-Site action also. However, the following points
should be kept in mind:
 The groups involved are not as enlightened and responsible as those within the factory.
 In off-site actions, the local participants particularly the administration, fire & police play the
dominant role. Industrial management has a limited and comparatively submissive role.
 The diversities of the problems and response are bigger.
 Humanitarian work assumes more importance.
The correct management strategy in this situation will be to involve the local participants’ fully in
emergency operation and provide technical and financial support to them to manage the
emergency. This task is more difficult than managing the on-site emergency operation in many
ways and call for elaborate and consistent efforts.
Mutual Aid and Interaction
The details on mutual aid with other Units is given following;

7.3 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN
7.3.1 Disaster Management Plan (DMP)
“Disaster Management” means a continuous and integrated process of planning, organizing,

coordinating and implementing measures which are necessary or expedient for-
 Prevention of danger or threat of any disaster,

 Capacity–building,
 Preparedness to deal with any disaster,
 Assessing the severity or magnitude of effect of any disaster,
 Prompt response to any threatening disaster situation or disaster,
 Evacuation. Rescue, and relief,
 Rehabilitation and reconstruction.
Minor accidents on material/chemical do not much impact or damage, but major accidents
involved large volume of inventories called as Disaster/Emergency cause extensive damage to
person, property and environment. Emergency situation arises all of a sudden and contains high
potential to cause havoc.
Therefore, advance emergency planning and proper training of every employee in the emergency
functions is very essential to make emergency control measures more effective.
There are two types of emergency control plans for chemical accidents,
 On Site Emergency Plan

13. Off Site Emergency Plan
The first is to be prepared by an industrial unit under the guidance of government & local
authorities, while second one is to be prepared by the local authority or the government itself with
the help of government machinery and resources including the concerned industrial units also.
7.3.2 Key Elements of DMP
The Disaster is caused by an accident that takes place in the plant and effects are confined to the
factory premises involving the persons working in the factory. On-site Emergency Plan to deal with
such eventualities is the responsibility of the occupier and is mandatory. “The Key- Elements” of
On-site Emergency Plan are:
 Internal & External contact numbers and addresses of all connected persons with
emergency/disaster
 Site Plan, Lay out Plan, Entry & Exit Gates, Locations of various facilities, Fire Protection
system, etc.
 Process with flow chart.
 Role and responsibility of designated persons, their availability and response actions.
 Infrastructure, Communication & Warning system,

 Testing and Updating of the Plan.

 Other Details as required during disaster, like weather conditions, inventory, Requirement of
PPE, safety equipment, emergency medical services, emergency vehicles, etc.
7.3.3 Disaster Management cell
The experienced and senior persons are selected from the Unit and they will be responsible to
handle and control the disaster over and above their general duties. The aforesaid person will
called as “Designated Person” for disaster purpose. They have to perform their duty coordinately
till the controlling the disaster. Further, every incident requires special treatment, because, it is
difficult to predict type of situation will take place & how it turn and how person will react. The
Disaster Set-Up is given in chart, as per below:
Figure 7-6: Disaster Management Cell
7.3.4 Hazardous Identification
Hazard identification is a critical component for disaster plan, which is discussed above.
7.3.5 Response actions
Various actions are required to be initiated according to the situation. However, some systematic
codification is required to control such disaster; the following sequential actions will be helpful to
contain disaster.
Incident
There are possibilities of various types of accidents or mishaps occurring in the factory premises.
When any incident occurs, it should be distinguished immediately with the subsequent
development or seriousness of such occurrence. So, subsequent response actions can be taken
immediately to handle & control the situation.

The person noticing (First Eye Witness) the ”Fire” or “Emergency” condition shall shout " Fire, Fire,
Fire " or “Emergency” and also manually sound the nearest bell kept in the field for attracting the
attention of the personnel in the near vicinity.
Then, he will rush to the control room and inform Supervisor/ Officer.
 Exact Location of Fire/ Occurrence

 Type of Fire/ Occurrence, and involved substances
 Time, when noticed,
In case of “Fire”, he shall immediately Attack the Fire with, appropriate type of first-aid firefighting
extinguishers available everywhere in the field and ask help of available trained persons at site.
On receiving “Message of Fire / Occurrence”, one of the Supervisor will proceed to the trouble
spot and other may remain available in control room for guidance and coordination.
The Supervisor will access the situation, consulting with technical persons then, he will hold the
charge of “Incident Controller” and will inform immediately to Site Main Controller [Sr. Terminal
Manager]. On consultation and accessing situation, Site Main Controller will order to operate
“Disaster Plan” and declare emergency. To better deal with disaster coordination and co-operation
among participants and members concerned are pivotal. Information sharing and awareness
raising should also be incorporated in this network.
Response actions shall be initiated immediately by the concerned Team-Heads with their
members, by use of available resources as per instruction by SIC. Looking to the situation,
information regarding development of incident, type & nature of incident, in case more help
needed etc. shall be communicated to the Emergency Control Centre by SIC.
Unit Head/ Manger / Shift in Charge will initiate following actions as “Site Incident Controller”.
 Inform the employees / persons working around to leave the area immediately & go to the
safe assembly point.
 Continuous responding actions, with the use of Key Persons, Essential Workers and other
helps, till control the incident.
