12.1. Summary of Scope and Objectives

12.1.1.This procedure is intended to provide guidance to Fibrax employees when dealing with a
hazardous liquids spillage and to provide information about the Fibrax Wrexham site to
external agencies that may need to respond to such an incident. Due to the inherent
unpredictability of such an event, it is the spirit, rather than the letter of the procedure which
must take priority. To this end, employees may need to deviate from this procedure where
circumstances dictate, so that environmental impacts are minimised.
12.2. Responsibility
12.2.1. The Managing Director is responsible for ensuring adequate resources are provided to
ensure all emergency events are properly responded to, investigated and reported.
12.2.2. The Environment, Health and Safety Practitioner is responsible for liaising with the
Operations Manager and Maintenance Manager to ensure that each production shift has at
least three personnel trained to deal with oil spills, including Cell Leaders, Assistant Cell
Leaders and maintenance personnel.
12.2.3. The Environment, Health and Safety Practitioner has responsibility to assess the potential
impact on the environment of the spill and to notify the Environment Agency and support
their subsequent investigation as necessary, contact number listed on WQF076.
12.2.4. Cell Leaders (or Relief Cell Leaders) or member of the Engineering Department are
responsible for coordinating the Spill Response Team.
12.2.5. The spill management co-ordinator as per Para 12.2.4. is responsible for notifying the
Environment, Health and Safety Practitioner if the spill is likely to move beyond the boundary
limits of the site.
12.2.6. Every employee has responsibility to immediately report to the Cell Leaders, Relief Cell
Leaders, Environment, Health and Safety Practitioner or member of a Spill Response Team
12.2.7. Spill Response Team any actual or potential spill that is likely to occur on the premises.
12.3. Procedure Flow

12.4. Procedure Detail

Establishing Competence
12.4.1. If the nature of the work undertaken on site changes in a way that will alter the
requirements for spill management, the EHS Practitioner will be required to ensure that
provision is made for this.
12.4.2. Where current spill management provision is affected by, or needs to account for changes
in personnel, the HR Manager will inform the EHS Practitioner of the change so that
provision can be made to mitigate the effects. Relevant changes to personnel include the
departure of employees with spill response skills, the recruitment of personnel into roles with
spill response responsibilities, and the promotion or transfer of personnel with spill response
responsibilities into positions where they may be unavailable to respond or of people without
spill response competence into roles that require it.
12.4.3. The EHS Practitioner will review spill management provision with the department heads
of relevant departments and determine if current competence can be demonstrated for all
necessary personnel.
12.4.4. The EHS Practitioner will determine if all required personnel have received required
training within the stated refreshment period of 3 years and after any changes to relevant
company undertakings.
12.4.5. The Learning & Development Manager will ensure that relevant personnel are provided
with sufficient training as to be competent in responding to any spill types likely to be
encountered as a result of the normal operations of the site.
12.4.6. The Learning and Development Manager will verify the competence of spill response
trained personnel in a manner that does not pose an environmental risk, conforms to
legislative requirements and mitigates OHS risk as far as is reasonably practicable.
12.4.7. The Learning and Development Manager will determine if the employee is considered
competent and act accordingly. If the Learning and Development Manager considers that the
employee is incapable of achieving competence, they will inform the employee’s manager
and the EHS practitioner.
12.4.8. Retraining will not be required for competent personnel within the period identified in
Para. 12.4.4. except in the case of circumstances detailed in Paras. 12.4.1. or 12.4.2..
12.4.9. The Learning and Development Manager will update records of training for the employee
concerned to reflect their current level of competence.
Responding to a Spill: Overview
12.4.10. This procedure provides guidance on the response to spills that have the clear potential to
impact the environment. Small scale spills that occur inside the site buildings do not normally
meet this criterium and in these cases, common sense together with adherence to waste
management and OHS procedures should be enough to ensure safe management of the
incident.
12.4.11. Before action is taken, a simple assessment of the situation will provide clarity of purpose
and ensure the actions taken are timely and appropriate. This assessment is not intended to be
a major planning exercise as with any spill, time is of the essence but should consider the
likely progression of the spill to identify what mitigating actions are required. Further
instruction of the assessment can be found from Para. onwards.
12.4.12. The priority in spill management is to block paths to prevent the spread of the spill until it
can be stopped and cleared. For spills still confined to a small area, boundary containment
may be an option using booms or granules. For wider spread spills, the biggest risk of escape
is through storm drains that run directly into the River Gwenfro, which is part of the
controlled waters of the River Dee basin. Blocking at risk drainage points is therefore a
priority and clay drain mats are available at the main oil storage bund for this purpose. Of
secondary priority are some small areas of permeable land surrounding the concrete
hardstanding to the rear of the factory, but these are generally at higher elevation that the
working area and therefore low risk. Further information on the blocking of escape paths can
be found from Para. onwards.
12.4.13. Blocking the spill will provide breathing space to control the source of the spill. This
should be undertaken as quickly as possible as this will not only reduce the time and cost of
decontamination but will also reduce the risk of containment measures being overloaded.
Where possible, controlling actions should be taking place concurrently with blocking
measures. Further instruction of controlling measures can be found from Para. onwards.
12.4.14. Once the spill is under control, the affected area must be decontaminated. The measures
taken will differ for each incident but should all ensure that the contaminant is removed as far
as is feasible and the clean-up operation should not itself cause environmental harm. All waste
must be disposed of in accordance with waste management procedures. Further instruction on
decontamination can be found from Para. onwards.
12.4.15. In each case, the occurrence must be reported, and investigated in accordance with
compliance procedure WQP006 using the 8D methodology up to stage D5. The level of
reporting will depend upon the severity of the spill but any spill that falls under the scope of
this procedure must be reported to allow multiple occurrences to be identified, as these will
often indicate a weakness in management procedures that could lead to a more serious
incident at a later date. Further instruction on reporting can be found from Para. onwards.
12.4.16. Once a root cause has been established, permanent corrective actions will be required to
prevent re-occurrence. Any actions introduced should be verified for effectiveness,
completing the initial report created in Para. 12.4.15. to D8. Further instruction on corrective
actions can be found from Para. onwards.
Assessing the Situation
12.4.17. Upon discovery of a spill, unless it can be stopped immediately (e.g. a tap left open on an
IBC), the first action is to summon assistance. With any such incident, the sooner all required
mitigating actions can be taken the better and the time needed to raise the alarm will quickly
be regained by virtue of multiple actions being taken simultaneously by a team rather than one
at a time by an individual. If the discoverer is trained to respond to spills, they should task the
first person encountered with informing the nearest Cell Leader or the EHS Practitioner then
return to start spill management. If not, they should seek out the Cell Leader or the EHS
Practitioner (whichever they encounter first) themselves and inform them of the spill and the
need for response, and task anyone they meet with doing the same. If the EHS Practitioner is
the person informed, they will seek out the Cell Leader and instruct them to respond.
12.4.18.The Cell Leader will assemble their shift or department spill team and proceed
immediately to the location of the spill, collecting the nearest relevant spill kit(s) on the way.
12.4.19. The spill team will assess the spill and determine the likely escape points and the best
strategy for containment. This assessment must consider the gradients of the ground, the
presence of storm drains and foul sewers and of any permeable land and the rate of spread of
the spill and potential to reach those exit points. The assessment should also consider whether
the spill is sufficiently limited as to allow boundary containment rather than trying to block
potential exit points from the site. Lastly, the assessment should consider whether the spill has
already reached potential exit points.
12.4.20. The spill team will determine if the spill has escaped the site.
12.4.21.If the spill has breached the site boundaries, the EHS Practitioner is to notify Natural
Resources Wales and the Wrexham County Borough Council Environmental Health
Department.
Blocking the Spill
12.4.22. The spill team will inspect each potential escape point to identify if an escape has occurred
at that location.
12.4.23. The team will decide if the location is contaminated (i.e., an escape has occurred).
12.4.24. The spill team will employ the PPE required to mitigate any risks presented by the spilled
liquid or by a potential reaction of it to its surroundings.
12.4.25. The spill team will ensure that any at risk storm-drain or foul sewer entry points are
blocked, regardless of whether the liquid has entered them. Where multiple escape points are
at risk, priority will be to protect storm drains.
12.4.26. Where permeable ground may be contaminated, this may contaminate the aquifer and so
access should be blocked using booms and/or granules as appropriate.
Controlling the Spill
12.4.27. The team must identify the source and cause of the spill as quickly as possible then
determine the best way to stop or minimise it. For the Wrexham site, spills should be
relatively minor and be easy to stop, perhaps isolating supply to a leaking pipeline or turning a
split IBC to place the split at the top. Before any action is taken, an impact analysis should be
undertaken (quickly) to ensure the proposed action does not cause other issues. Before turning
IBCs, ensure all covers and taps are closed and secure, before isolating pipelines, ensure the
equipment they supply is being shut down etc.
12.4.28. The team will take such actions as are necessary to prevent further spillage.
12.4.29. Once action is taken, the spill should be monitored to ensure they have been successful.
The spill area should also be monitored to ensure that the liquid already spilled does not
overcome the capacity of the defences placed to protect potential escape points.
12.4.30. The spill team will determine whether the containment action is effective. The
containment can be considered affective only when the spill has been stopped or 100%
contained in a manner that poses no further risk of escape (e.g., a leaking IBC can be sealed,
stopping the slip, or lifted onto a portable bund, 100% containing the spill).
Decontaminating the Area
12.4.31. The spill team will determine the extent of the contamination. The assessment will include
the quantities of liquid to be cleaned up, the surfaces affected and the resources available.
12.4.32. The spill team will establish a plan to clean up the skill and decontaminate the area. The
plan must include controls to ensure that the decontamination operation does not cause further
environmental impact and includes safety protocols to ensure the safety of those executing it.
12.4.33. The spill team will execute the decontamination plan, monitoring each stage to ensure that
the safety and environmental controls are effective.
12.4.34. After decontamination, the site will be inspected by the EHS Practitioner and the spill team
to ensure the clean-up operation has been effective. An effective clean-up is one that will
allow safety measures such as booms and drain blockers to be removed without further risk to
the environment and it is not anticipated that the site will be returned exactly to its former
condition. For example, oil staining on concrete surfaces are likely to remain as removing
them would require power washing with detergent and will pose more of a risk than the
staining itself.
12.4.35. The spill team and EHS Practitioner will decide if the decontamination has been completed
to satisfaction.
12.4.36. Once the area has been successfully decontaminated, any control used to block escape
points can also be removed. Removal should be conducted in such a way as to ensure
contamination from the controlling equipment (clay pads, booms etc.) does not then pass
through the escape point, and the equipment itself must be sealed to prevent cross
contamination during disposal (if bags are to be used, the bags must be free from air holes and
the items should be double bagged and the openings either knotted or cable tied closed).
12.4.37. All waste from the decontamination operation is to be disposed of using properly licensed
contractors and in accordance with site waste management procedures.
Exposing the Incident

12.4.38. The EHS Practitioner will convene a relevant cross functional team that should include
members of the original response team as well as others with knowledge of the systems or
equipment identified as contributing to the incident.
12.4.39. The team will investigate the circumstances surrounding the spill and the actions taken in
response to the spill. The aims of the investigation are to determine the extent of
contamination, the root cause(s) for the specific spill, the circumstances that allowed the root
cause(s) to exist unnoticed and the systemic failings that allowed existence of the root
cause(s) of failure. The investigation will also determine whether this is a repeat failure.
While not mandatory, the 5-Why technique is considered a useful tool for this investigation
and can be documented using form WQF011.
12.4.40. The team will ascertain whether the spill has contaminated beyond the site boundaries.
12.4.41. The team will ascertain whether the spill has permanently contaminated areas of the site.
12.4.42. The team will ascertain whether the root cause(s) of this incident have been identified for
previous incidents.
12.4.43. If the spill has been confirmed as having contaminated beyond the site, the EHS
Practitioner will inform Natural Resources Wales, if they have not already been notified as
part of the initial spill response as required in Para. 12.4.21..
12.4.44. The team will provide a report to the BoD via the Manufacturing Director. The report will
confirm the cause(s) of the incident, the effectiveness of the response, the corrective actions
undertaken to prevent recurrence and the extent of the area impacted. If external agencies
have been involved or otherwise notified, the report will also detail which agencies and to
what extent they have been involved.
12.4.45. Where the incident is a repeat issue, the EHS Practitioner will raise an 8D investigation to
determine why the measures introduced at the last occurrence were ineffective and to ensure
that those introduced after this issue are verified as effective before the issue is considered
resolved.
12.4.46. The team will provide a copy of the report to the Compliance Manager for retention.
Fix the Root Cause(s)
12.4.47. The team will identify such measures as are necessary to ensure a permanent fix to the
specific failures giving rise to the spill, to monitoring systems responsible for the failed
equipment, systems or personnel (whichever are relevant) and to the management system that
failed to ensure sufficient controls were in place if such a failure is found.
12.4.48. The team will ensure the required corrective actions are implemented in a timely manner.
12.4.49. The team will verify that the implemented corrective actions are effective, proportionate
and manageable. This can be achieved through extended monitoring, practical testing (where
it is safe to do so) or a combination of the two.
12.4.50. The team will confirm whether the implemented actions are effective and adequate.
12.4.51. The team will complete any outstanding report to include the corrective actions taken and
the measures used to verify their effectiveness and submit the completed report to all interim
recipients.

___
Handling: It is advised to use a power ventilation system in the vicinity of processing machines to remove possible fume emissions. Molten
masses, produced from purging machinery, should be cooled in a suitable area under supervision.
Storage: Store at ambient temperature (preferably 15 to 25C), but avoiding if possible extremes of temperature and humidity. Avoid double
stacking of palletised material. Outdoor storage should be avoided. Although the material has a long “shelf life”, (1 to 2 years), a first in - first out
stock rotation system is recommended.
___
Engineering Measures: Good general ventilation for most processing equipment may be sufficient, but powered ventilation at areas of
excessive fume (such as extruder dies, or injection moulding machine heads) may be necessary.
Personal Protective Equipment:

Respiritory protection: During processing of the molten material adequate ventilation is required. A local exhaust system is
recommended over areas of excessive fume.
Hand protection: The pellet form material is non harmful, but thermal resistant gloves must be worn if contact with the hot,
molten material during processing may occur.
Eye protection: Where contact may occur use safety glasses with side shields. If contact with hot, processed material is
possible, use a full face shield.
Skin and Body protection: When processing hot material use thermal resistant arm protection, aprons, and ideally a
thermal resistant suit, and boots.

Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust ventilation and good
general extraction. If these are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of solvent vapour and/or particulates below the relevant
Occupational Exposure Limit values, suitable respiratory equipment must be worn (see "OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE
CONTROLS" below).
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE CONTROLS:

All personal protective equipment, including respiratory protective equipment, used to control exposure to hazardous substances
must be selected to meet the requirements of the COSHH regulations.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
Air fed respiratory protective equipment should be worn when this product is sprayed if the exposure of the sprayer or other people
nearby cannot be controlled to below the Occupation Exposure Limit values and engineering controls and methods cannot
reasonably be improved.
HAND PROTECTION:
When skin exposure may occur, advice should be sought from glove suppliers on appropriate types and usage times for this
product. The instructions and information provided by the glove supplier on use, storage, maintenance and replacement must be
followed. Barrier creams may help to protect exposed areas of skin, but are not substitues for full physical protection. They should
not be applied once exposure has occured.
EYE PROTECTION:
Eye protection designed to protect against liquid splashes should be worn.
SKIN PROTECTION:
Cotton or cotton/synthetic overalls or coveralls are normally suitable. Grossly contaminated clothing should be removed and the
skin washed with soap and water or a proprietary skin cleaner. Regular skin inspection of users of this product is recommended.

Stable under the recommeded storage and handling conditions (see Section 7).
In a fire, hazardous decomposition products such as smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and oxides of nitrogen may be
produced.
Keep away from oxidising agents and strongly alkaline and strongly acidic materials to prevent the possibility of exothermic
reaction.
The xylene present is stable but may give violent reactions if placed in contact with strong oxidants such as nitric acid, sulfuric acid,
perchlorates and similar agents. It is biodegradable in water and decomposes in the sunlight (photodegradable). 1-methoxy-2-
propylacetate: it is stable but in presence of air, it can gradually form peroxides which explode due to the rise in temperature. It can
react violently with oxidizing agents and strong acids and alkaline metals. Avoid copper, aluminium and their alloys when storing.
Store under inert atmosphere, repaired from humidity because it easily hydrolyses.
1-methoxy 2-propanol (propylenmethylglycol) absorbs and dissolves in water and in organic solvents; it dissolves different plastic
material; it is stable but in the presence of air it can gradually form explosive peroxides when heated and may react with strong
oxidizing agents and acids. It should be biodegradable. Stainless steel is suitable while copper and aluminium are not.
Nbutyl acetate easily decomposes with water especially when heated.

There is no data available on the product itself. The product has been assessed following the conventional method in CHIP and is
classified for toxicological hazards accordingly. This takes into account, where known, delayed and immediate effects and also
chronic effects of components from short-term and long-term exposure by oral, inhalation and dermal routes of exposure and eye
contact. See Sections 3 and 15 for details of the resulting hazard classification.
Exposure to organic solvent vapours in excess of the stated Occupation Exposure Limit may result in adverse health effects such as
irritation of the mucous membrane and the respiratory system and adverse effects on the kidney, liver and central nervous system.
Symptoms and signs include headache, dizziness, fatigue, muscular weakness, drowsiness and in extreme cases, loss of
consciousness.
Solvents may cause some of the above by absorption through the skin. Repeated or prolonged contact with the product may cause
removal of natural fats from the skin, resulting in non-allergic contact dermatitis and absorption through the skin.
Splashes in the eyes may cause irritation and reversible local damage.
Ingestion may result in the following effects: sore throat, abdominal pain, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Other effects
may be as described for exposure to vapours.

HARMFUL BY INHALATION AND IN CONTACT WITH SKIN.
IRRITATING TO SKIN.
RISK OF SERIOUS DAMAGE TO EYES.
REPEATED EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE SKIN DRYNESS OR CRACKING.

GENERAL:
In all cases of doubt, or when sysmptoms persist, seek medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
INHALATION:
Remove to fresh air, keep the patient warm and at rest. If breathing has stopped, administer artificial respiration. Give nothing by
mouth. If unconscious, place in the recovery position and seek medical advice.
EYE CONTACT:
Remove contact lenses. Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 10 minutes, holding the eyelids apart, and seek
medical advice. In the case of UV curable products, avoid concurrent exposure to sunlight or other sources of UV radiation which
may increase the sensitivity of the eyes.
SKIN CONTACT:
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use a proprietary skin cleaner. DO NOT USE
SOLVENTS OR THINNERS. In the case of UV curable products, avoid concurrent exposure to sunlight or other sources of UV
radiation which may increase the sensitivity of the skin.

Date: 01/19/07
THINNER 091 Page No. 3

If accidentally swallowed, obtain immediate medical attention. Keep at rest. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Recommended: Alcohol resistant foam, CO2, powder, water spray/mist
Not to be used: Water jet
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Fire will produce dense black smoke containing hazardous prodcuts of combustion (see Section 10). Exposure to decomposition
products may be a hazard to health. Appropriate self contained breathing apparatus may be required. Cool closed containers
exposed to fire with water spray. Do not allow run-off from fire-fighting to enter drains or water courses.

Exclude sources of ignition and ventilate the area. Exclude non-essential personnel. Avoid breathing vapours. Refer to protective
measures listed in Sections 7 and 8.
Contain and collect spillages with non-combustible absorbent materials, e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite, diatomaceous earth and place
in a suitable container for disposal in accordance with the waste regulations (see Section 13).
Clean preferably with a detergent; avoid the use of solvents.
Do not allow to enter drains or water courses. If the product enters drains or sewers, immediately contact the local water company;
in the case of contamination of streams, rivers or lakes, the relevant environment agency.

HANDLING:
Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. They may form explosive mixtures with air. Prevent the creation of
flammable or explosive concentrations of vapour in air and avoid vapour concentrations higher than the Occupational Exposure
Limit values. In addition, the product should only be used in areas from which all naked lights and other sources of ignition have
been excluded. Electrical equipment should be protected to the appropriate standard. Keep the container tightly closed. Exclude
sources of heat, sparks and open flame. Non-sparking tools should be used.
Avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid the inhalation of vapour and mist. Smoking, drinking and eating should be prohibited in storage
and use areas. For Occupational Exposure Controls, see Section 8.
Never use pressure to empty; the container is not a pressure vessel. Always keep in containers made of the same material as the
supply container.
The accumulation of contaminated rags and dry overspray, particularly in spray booth filters may result in spontaneous
combustion. Good housekeeping standards, regular safe removal of waste materials and regular maintenance of spray booth filters
will minimise the risks of spontaneous combustion and other fire hazards.
The product may charge electrostatically. Always use earthing leads when transferring from one conatiner to another. Operators
