4.2 Definition of Responsibilities

In an emergency situation, the chain of command will be formed according to the

chart in Appendix I and the personnel involved is named in Appendix II.

4.2.1 Emergency Director

This is the responsibility of the IBERDROLA Site Director.

emergency situation within and outside the limits of the site.

 To activate the Emergency Plan (Activation of the Emergency Groups)

as well as the partial or total evacuation of the site personnel.

 To order the help of external assistance.

 To declare the end of the emergency and write the Emergency Report.

4.2.2 Shift Manager

 To inform the Emergency Director of any anomaly that could result in

the activation of the emergency plan. Should an emergency outbreak

outbreak with the means and personnel available.

 To assist at all times the Emergency Director on the actions to take,

given his knowledge at all time of the current state of (equipment in
operation, authorised tasks being carried out, etc).

 Follow at all times the instructions given by the Emergency director

 Continually assist and inform the Emergency Director regarding

decisions taken.

 Instructs Muster Point Coordinators for an immediate evacuation when

instructed by the Emergency Director.

4.2.4 Emergency Response Team (ERT)

 The First Intervention Group is responsible for being the first to

respond to a declared emergency in a specific site. This group will be
managed by the ERT Coordinator.

 The main function of this group is to locate, rescue, and apply first aid
to affected workers for the accident/incident and organise all to do with
their medical evacuation.

 The ERT are trained for basic First Aid, Fire Fighting and Confine
Space Rescue following the ratio of 1:25 for each contractor. The 50%
from the total number of these personnel are trained for the advance
First Aid and Fire Fighting courses.

4.2.5 Muster Point Coordinator

 Supervises the evacuation of all personnel on his area or zone.

 Receives reports from each contractor’s ERT members about the

status of their personnel and areas. The contractor’s ERT members
need to give complete information about the personnel and worksite on

4.3 Actions to be taken by the ERT members when detecting an emergency.

In order to avoid or reduce the consequences of an incident and/or accident, it is

extremely important that:

 Actions are taken rapidly and efficiently.

 Instructions are followed.

 Information and communication are adequate and complete.

 MESAIEED A POWER PLANT PRELIMINARY
EMERGENCY PLAN
ID: 14T2-00-YDO-SNO-IBC-004 REV.: 2 Page 11 of 21

Therefore it is fundamental for the person detecting an emergency to act in the

following manner:

4.3.1 Give the alarm notification immediately by telephone (mobile) or personally

giving information but not limited to the following:

 State the name and this is an emergency call

 Nature of emergency

 Location

 Services/support required

 Site machinery or agents involved

4.3.2 Inform the following key personnel:

 Medical services.

 ERT Coordinator

4.3.3 Maintain calm.

4.3.4 Not take unnecessary risks.

4.3.5 Use available means (extinguishers, fire hoses).

4.3.6 Assist accident victims.

4.4 Actions to be taken by personnel not belonging to emergency groups

All persons not having an assigned function in the Emergency Plan (including visitors

4.4.1 Free all phone lines in the office.

4.4.2 Remain attentive to any instructions given by the emergency director.

4.4.3 If there is an evacuation, go quickly and in an orderly manner using the safest
route to the Muster Point indicated by route map (site access control).

4.4.4 Remain in the indicated Muster Point until instructions are received from the
Emergency Director.

4.5 Emergency Control Center

The emergency control center is located at the site office specifically at the site
manager’s office. It is equipped with the technical means to maintain necessary
internal and external communications (fax, email, telephone).

The emergency control center is the gathering point for the emergency director, shift
manager and emergency response coordinator.

A folder with the emergency plan and the general site plans is kept in the center.

4.6 Alarm system

Manual alarm systems are installed in both the IBO office area and site location for
quick and immediate notification of an emergency. Authorization is given by the
Emergency Director and in his absence by the ERT Coordinator once the need to
evacuate arises.

 Site

 Office

4.7 External means

Telephone numbers for the civil defence authority and the closest Mesaied Medical
Center (MMC) hospitals are indicated in appendix.

4.8 Activation of emergency plan

Once an alarm is received and confirmed, the Emergency Director will order the
activation of the Emergency Plan.

1. Its activation implies the notification either verbal or by telephone of

organisations and persons with roles in the Emergency Plan. He will request
from access control that relevant acoustic signals be sounded and will deliver
the messages he deems appropriate.

2. In the case of a partial emergency, upon activation of the Emergency Plan,

the First Intervention and Assistance groups will gather to the vicinity of the
EMERGENCY SITE to receive instructions.

3. In the case of a general emergency, upon activation of the Emergency Plan,

all ERT members will gather in the vicinity of the EMERGENCY SITE to
receive instructions.

5. IMPLEMENTING THE EMERGENCY PLAN

Once the Emergency Plan is written it is necessary to proceed with its

implementation, which comprises a number of measures destined to ensure the
operational status of the Plan.

Necessary activities in the implementation phase are as follows:

5.1 Education, information and training activities

Persons who are members of the Emergency Response Team which meets the ratio
of 1:25 per contractor are trained in basic first aid, fire fighting and confine space
while 50% of these personnel are trained for the advance. Once the plan has been
defined it is necessary to establish a training program destined to disseminate and
clarify the said plan. Distributing in writing the concrete orders to all constituent
members and exposing at the individual level the duties of each team in case the
emergency materializes is important.

In parallel, training programs will be established for the site’s personnel in general,
organising informative reunions for all the personnel and distributing guidelines that
will contain information on at least the following points:

 Precautions to adopt to avoid causing an emergency.

 Way to communicate the detection of an emergency.

 Manner in which the alarm and evacuation order will be given in case of an
emergency.

Information on what must be done and not to be done during an emergency.

5.2 Drills

The function of said drills is to test the effectiveness of the designed plan and to allow
the detection and correction of errors and omissions in it. The drills will provide
practice and confidence to all the personnel in the work site (as much the workers
with specific duties in case of emergency). The drills in addition will serve to estimate
the various teams’ evacuation and intervention times.

The drills will be conducted at least twice a year to keep the ERT prepared and ready
for any eventuality. The emergency plan will be reviewed based on the outcome of
the drill or in case of the need.
