1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to set out guidelines and methods to prevent or control spillages of
chemicals and hazardous materials on Project worksites. It is expected that each construction area
will have its own specific spill response plan based on the guidance given in this document.

2. SCOPE
This document applies to all NSRP construction sites, camps, marine operations and transportation
originations.
There are three internationally accepted levels of spill response as described in the table below.Tier
3 spills are not credible during construction and this document confines itself to Tiers 1 and 2.

TIER DEFINITION

Those small spills that can be dealt with by on-site resources


1
without external assistance.
Spills greater than Tier 1 spills, where the on-site response
2 team cannot deal with the situation or spills occurring off site or
on public roads.
Spills of sufficient magnitude they cannot be handled by in the
3 district level resources. Needs the assistance of central
Vietnamese Government or International assistance is required.

Spill A Spill is a type of environmental incident involving the


unplanned, unwanted release of a substance as a result of a
breach in or loss of containment, where the substance comes
in contact with the local environment. Where a release is held
within a secondary containment such that the substance does
not contact the local environment, this is not a Spill, but a Near
Miss.
Near Miss Any unplanned or uncontrolled event (or a sequence of
events) which, under slightly different circumstances, could

 Report any leak or spill without delay;


 Ensure the workforce has been instructed in spill prevention, how to safely clean up spills, use of
correct PPE and notification requirements.

6. SPILL HAZARDS
6.1 Materials and chemicals
An inventory of all hazardous materials and chemicals on site will be held by CONTRACTOR Site
HSSE manager. This will include an up-to-date record of all substances stored on site, including an
estimate of the maximum quantity likely to be stored at any one time. Material Safety Data Sheets
should be attached for any substances posing a particular risk to health or the environment. This
inventory will include but not be limited to:
 fuels (petrol, diesel)
 lubricants and hydraulic oil;
 paint and thinners
 refractory material, concrete grouts, sealants and curing materials, fireproofing material, etc.
 acid and bases (hydrochloric acid, caustic, sulphuric, acid, etc.)
 hazardous waste material;
 sewage
 vehicle wash water
 contaminated fire fighting water.

6.2 Causes of Spills


Spillages may arise from:
 damage or rupture of containers from impact, dropping etc.
 leaks from containers damaged by corrosion
 overfilling containers or tanks
 inadequate storage tanks, bunds, and associated valves and pipework
 damaged or leaking delivery pipes, etc.
 lack of attention or neglect during filling
 incorrect disposal into surface gullies or soak ways
 vandalism
 deliberate discharges under emergency conditions (e.g. firewater).

6.3 Hazards associated with spillage


Hazards associated with spilt materials and chemicals are far ranging and dependent on the nature
of the chemical or material involved. Potential hazards may include:
 fire or explosion from flammable material
 injury from inhalation of vapours or fumes
 asphyxiation from leaking gases (particularly when associated with confined spaces)
 acute health risks from contact with spilled chemicals – such as contact dermatitis
 chronic health risks from contact with chemicals such as carcinogens
 burns from corrosive chemicals

 infection from contaminated water or sewage


 damage to structures
 soil, groundwater and surface water contamination
 spillageat sea during marine operation

6.4 Risk Assessment


In accordance with NSRP’s risk management procedure, a risk assessment will be carried out on the
aspects and impacts associated with chemical and material spills.
Where the risk assessment has identified potential for contamination and damage to the environment,
control measures should be identified which will prevent spillages or mitigate the effects of spillages
should they occur.
Where the consequences of spillages have a potential for affecting the health or safety of personnel on
sites, there may be a requirement to implement a Health Risk Assessment, as determined by the
CONTRACTOR HSSE Manager. The risk assessment procedure shall be carried out following the
procedures referenced in CONTRACTOR’s HSSE Management System (S-000-1654-0004V).

7. SPILL PREVENTION
Prevention of spills is best achieved by ensuring storage and containment arrangements are
adequate. The following sections describe best practice in preventing spills.

7.1 Bulk fuel storage tanks and secondary containment


All fuels, oils and liquid chemicals should be stored in tanks of sufficient strength and structural
integrity to ensure that it is unlikely to burst or leak in ordinary use.
Tanks should preferably be above ground. For underground storage tanks there may be a risk of
undetected leaks and as such should be fitted with leak barrier system.
All fuel storage tanks should be located to minimise the risk of damage by impact and should be
above ground and provided with appropriately designed and constructed support.
Storage tanks and their ancillary equipment should be sited within a secondary containment system,
such as a bund. The secondary containment system should be impermeable to oil and water, and
there should be no direct outlet.
Tanks and bunds should be roofed to protect from rain and also sun.
The secondary containment system must provide storage of at least 110% of the tank’s maximum
capacity. If more than one container is stored, the system must be capable of storing 110% of the
biggest container’s capacity or 25% of the total tank capacity within the bund, whichever is the
greater. Bund design and tank siting must take into account the potential escape of oil beyond the
bund area in the event of the tank developing a hole (known as jetting).
Tank ancillary equipment (valves, filters, sight gauges, and vent pipes) should be situated within the
secondary containment system and arranged so that any discharges are contained.
Tanks should be fitted with an automatic cut-off valve and alarm to prevent spillages through
overfilling.
Where a fill pipe is outside the containment system, use a drip tray of an adequate capacity to
contain the contents of the fill pipe and to catch any spilled during delivery. Flexible delivery pipes
should be fitted with a tap, trigger gun or valve at the delivery end, which closes automatically when

not in use.
7.2 Bowsers
Mobile bowsers should be bonded or have a suitably sized drip tray receptacle fitted underneath
when in use or out on site.
Locks must be fitted to taps and valves that are permanently fixed to the bowser thatfluids can be
discharged when opened. These must be locked shut when not in use.
If a flexible hose is used for delivery, a flexible pipe which is permanently attached to the bowsermust
ensure that:
 The delivery end of the pipe is fitted with a manually operated pump or valve, that closes
automatically when it is not in use;
 The pump or valve is lockable and is kept locked shut when it is not in use;
 The end of the pipe that leaves the container is fitted with a lockable valve that must be locked
shut when it is not in use.

7.3 Plant and equipment


All equipment containing fuel or oil such as generators, pumps, etc., should be located on cemented
bondedareas or provided with drip trays to contain any leakages.

7.4 Drums and containers


Where fuels, lubricants and chemicals such as paint, detergents, degreasers, solvents and hydraulic
fluids are stored, arrangements must be made for protection against leakages and spill.
Drums and IBC containers are particularly at risk from damage on site and leakage from corrosion,
impact damage, dropping while handling, fork lift damage, overfilling, fire, vandalism.
The primary storage container should be of sufficient strength and integrity to ensure that, in normal
circumstances, it is unlikely to burst or leak.
Damaged, leaking or empty containers must be removed from the site immediately and disposed of
via a licensed waste disposal company or for recycling.
Unless recommended otherwise, IB Ccontainers should be stored inside or protected from the
elements by physical barrier or covers.
Secondary containment systems must be used for protection from leaking drums and containers.
Containment methods may include:
 dedicated store (containment can be provided by means of stepped or ramped access, kerbing,
bund walls, sloping floors or use of a proprietary system)
 drip trays
 dispensing sump trolley
 sump pallets
 decking with sump trays
 secure bonded storage cabinets
 kerbs and any other impervious system which prevent a spilt product from escaping.
The capacity of secondary containment facilities should take account of the maximum volume of
product that could be stored at any one time. In general, for multiple container storage, it should have
110% of the biggest container’s volume or 25% of the total volume of all containers within the bund,
whichever is the greater.

7.5 Bulk solids


Bulk cement and other materials, such as chemicals and powders, should be stored in silos. Silos
should be vented to suitable arrestment plant, (for example bag filters).
For small applications, cementation materials may be received in sacks or bulk bags. These should
be stored under cover to prevent weather damage and dust release.

7.6 Wastes
Wastes should be stored in impermeable containers or covered skips or in contained areas which
should be kerbed or bonded to prevent spillage of materials or fluids or leaching from the wastes.

7.7 Contaminated Water


7.7.1 Concrete/cement wash water
Concrete or cement wash water, from washing down of concrete plant, mixing tanks, cementing
equipment, pumps and pump lines and vehicles, is highly alkaline and corrosive and has a high
pollution potential for soils and groundwater.
Such wash water must not be allowed to flow into any drain or soak away or on to porous ground.
This should be carried out in impermeable wash bays with drainage provision for collection of
wastewater as below.
7.7.2 Vehicle / plant / equipment wash water
Effluent and run-off from vehicle, plant and equipment washing and cleaning activities can damage
the environment and pollute soil and groundwater.
Such washing should be carried out in areas that are designated washing bays isolated from surface
water drainage systems, unmade ground and porous surfaces. The cleaning agents used may also
be considered toxic. A designated washing bay should have an impermeable base and kerbed or
bonded and be designed so that run-off is:
 isolated using channels, gullies, gradient and kerbs
 directed to a silt trap or settlement tank to remove larger particles of silt and sediment
 either collected in a sealed system for re-use, discharged to the black water sewer system if
available or collected in a sealed system for authorised disposal.

7.8 Sewage
On construction sites or facilities where mains sewerage is not available, temporary sewage tanks or
cesspools may be used. They must not be allowed to overflow and should be inspected and emptied
regular basis. A high level warning device should be installed to indicate when it is nearly full.

7.9 Fire Fighting Water


In the event of a fire, firewater and/or foams may be used and may generate large volumes of
contaminated water which should be contained in temporarily containment area such as temporary
pond which will be sand bagged and pumped out as required. The contaminated water will be
transported by bowser or other means for treatment of the water.
Such scenarios should be addressed as part of emergency response plan where a risk assessment
has identified the potential for such an event.

Title: Spill Contingency Management Plan Page 11 of 16
S-000-1654-0160V

CONTRACTOR shall take special care during deliveries to sites and facilities, especially when fuels
and hazardous materials are being handled. In particular:
 all deliveries should be supervised by a responsible person in order that storage tank levels are
checked before delivery to prevent overfilling and that the product is delivered to the correct
tank;
 filling should not be carried out unattended;
 fuel or bulk liquids delivery fill pipes should be located within the confines of the secondary
containment system;
 fill pipes should have appropriate and compatible connections, lockable fill caps with a chain and
should be marked clearly with the product type, tank capacity and tank number;
 where a fill pipe is outside the containment system, drip trays should be used with an adequate
capacity to contain the contents of the fill pipe and to catch any spilled during delivery;
 ensure all loading and unloading areas are designated, clearly marked and isolated from the
surface water drainage system.
7.10.2 Refueling
The risk of spilling of fuel is at its greatest during refuelling of plant.Where possible, refuel mobile
plant in a designated area, preferably on an impermeable surface and away from any drains or
watercourses.
Vehicle should not be left unattended during refuelling.
Hoses and valves should be checked regularly for signs of wear. They should be turned off and
securely locked when not in use.

7.11 Vehicle, Plant and Equipment maintenance activities


Where vehicles, plant or equipment is maintained on site the following guidelines should be followed:
 use of a designated area and / or secondary containment for on-site repair or maintenance
activities. These areas must be located away from drainage courses
 conduct regular inspections of on-site vehicles and equipment, including delivery trucks and
employees’ vehicles, for leaks. do not allow vehicles or equipment with leaks on site
 secondary containment devices such as drop cloths and drain pans should be used to catch
leaks or spills while removing or changing fluids from vehicles or equipment
 use absorbent materials on small spills, do not hose down or bury spills. Remove and properly
dispose of contaminated clean-up materials.
 immediately transfer used fluids to the appropriate waste or recycling containers. Don’t leave full
drip pans and open containers on-site
 drain excess oil from oil filters prior to disposal
 store all damaged and / or replaced batteries in a non-leaking secondary container.

7.12 Security
Measures should be provided to prevent spillage incidents arising from deliberate acts of vandalism,
sabotage or misuse. Measures may include:
 installing lockable fencing around the storage area and limiting access to authorised personnel
 fitting any permanent taps or valves through which oils or chemicals can be discharged with a
lock (to be locked when not in use)
 display notices telling users to keep valves and trigger guns locked when they are not in use

 taps or valves should be made of steel and marked to show whether they are open or closed
 bowsers should be stored within secure compounds.

8. SITE SPECIFIC SPILL MANAGEMENT PLANS


The level of spill response will depend on health and safety issues, staff training, the level of personal
protective equipment available, the nature of any spilled materials and the types of pollution control
equipment available on the site. The appropriate level of response will, therefore be site specific and
generally they address the following issues:
 fire fighting strategy
 nearby properties, downstream communities or any sensitive areas which could be affected by
an incident.
 the consequences of an incident at nearby properties
 procedures for alerting staff on site, and where appropriate, adjacent sites
 contacting the local emergency services, and other organisations concerned
 highlighting substances posing particular risks, in the emergency plan
 the selection of the appropriate level of personal protective equipment
 the means of making leaking containers safe
 procedures for containing leaks, spills and fire-fighting run-off and for the protection of any
on-site effluent treatment plant;
 procedures for the recovery of spilled product and the safe handling and disposal of any wastes
arising from the incident.
The location and use of spill kits, drain blockers and other pollution control equipment and the
operation of pollution control devices is clearly documented. Stocks of pollution control equipment
and materials held locally by other organisations should be identified and details of clean-up
companies should be kept up to date.
CONTRACTOR shall develop specific spill management response procedures for each construction
area as the attachment of spill contingency management plan, including Marine Operations at the
construction phase.

8.1 Construction Sites


The plans are based on likely risk levels on a particular site. Construction sites will have specific risks
associated with temporary tanks and storage areas. The plans include:
 an inventory of all materials and chemicals on site
 an up-to-date record of all substances location stored on site and the maximum quantity likely to
be stored. Product MSDS should be attached for any substances posing a particular risk to
health or the environment;
 site location plot plan which includes :
- locations of storage areas, tanks, processing areas with discharges, waste storage etc.;
- location, depth and construction details of drainage systems, channels or other pathways for
potential migration of spills where surface water discharges to soak ways;
- the location of process areas and any on-site treatment facilities
- locations of facilities such as inspection points for the detection of pollution, oil separators,
retention or balancing tanks, fire-water retention ponds, containment tanks and pollution
control devices such as shut-off valves in drains etc.

- locations for spill treatment materials


 internal and external notification procedures
 evacuation route
 procedures for managing spills
 specific area training requirements

8.2 Marine Operations


There are many marine vessels operating throughout construction of the marine facilities, undersea
pipeline and SPM. All vessels shall comply with the International Convention for the Prevention of
Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) to prevent pollution of the marine environment by ships from
operational or accidental causes. In this respect, all vessels involved in these and jetty/barge
operations shall be equipped to minimise and contain any spillage at sea.
All vessels shall be equipped, as a minimum with:
 boat dispersant spray
 offshore boom systems
 inshore boom systems
 skimmers for all oil viscosities
 absorbent materials
 temporary storage.
Quantities of these materials shall be determined based on the inventory of fuel and lubrication oils on
board the vessel.

9. SPILL RESPONSE
9.1 Key Steps
Emergency spill response involves the following key steps:
1. Containment
Spills involving hazardous materials should first be contained to prevent spread of the material
to other areas. This may involve the use of temporary diking, sand bags, dry sand, earth or
proprietary booms / absorbent pads. Materials or covers to plug or block drains may also be
required.
2. Fire prevention
Where there is a spillage of flammable material, instructions to prevent fire and explosion by
isolating or switching off electrical equipment must be available to emergency response
teams.
3. Prevent further loss of product
Procedures to prevent the further loss of product (e.g. removal of product from a leaking tank).
4. Render safe
Once the hazardous material has been contained to prevent spread of the material to other
areas, the material should be treated wherever possible to render it safe.

Title: Spill Contingency Management Plan Page 14 of 16
S-000-1654-0160V

Acids and alkalis may be treated with appropriate neutralising agents. Due to the differing
properties of the various groups of chemical, an appropriate treatment strategy with suitable
chemicals should be established in each case (reference should be made to appropriate
MSDS).
5. Clean up
Spillages of dangerous substances in a fine dusty form should not be cleared up by dry
brushing. Vacuum cleaners should be used in preference, or damp sweeping, and for toxic
materials, a vacuum cleaner conforming to type H of BS 5415 should be used.(Refer to
Hazardous Materials Management Plan: S-000-1654-0450V).
Oil or fuel should be absorbed onto inert carrier material (ether sand or proprietary absorbent)
to allow the material to be cleared up and removed to a safe place for disposal or further
treatment as appropriate;

9.2 Spill control materials


MSDSs for all materials and chemicals on site should be reviewed to ensure appropriate clean up
materials are made available. Sufficient quantities and types of spill control equipment and materials
to contain any spills should be stored and made available on site. Testing and inspection of spill
control equipment and materials shall be implemented periodically. CONTRACTOR Site HSSE
Manager shall report the records quarterly through IPMT to NSRP HSE Division.
All spill control materials and absorbed chemicals, fuel, oils or other materials should be collected
and contained prior to safe disposal.
Following clean-up of spills decontamination of the area may be required.
9.3 Drainage systems
Where there is a risk of spillages and where such spillages may enter drainage systems and
discharge to the environment oil separators should be installed.
Use of separators should be considered on construction sites, temporary storage areas, vehicle
maintenance areas etc. where spills are more likely although at such sites volumes of spilt material
would not be expected to be high due to lower inventory volumes of fuel, oils or chemicals kept on
site.
9.4 Personal Protective Equipment
All personnel involved in handling chemicals, fuels, oils and other materials and those involved in
clean-up of spills must be provided with appropriate PPE. Reference should also be made to MSDSs
of materials on site to ensure additional special PPE may be required (e.g. acid resistant clothing,
masks etc.).

10. SPILL REPORTING


Any fuel, oil or chemical spill incidents, irrespective of volume, shall be recorded and reported in
accordance with S-000-1654-0120V Incident Management Plan. CONTRACTOR and
Subcontractors should also be aware of any national or local requirements for the reporting of spill
incidents to appropriate statutory authorities within their operational areas. They should consult with
CONTRACTOR Site HSSE Manager on all spills.

 an understanding of the measures that should be put into place to prevent spillages and leaks
 how spillages may arise, the need to follow prepared spill management plans and other
procedures
2. Every three months
 use of emergency pollution control equipment available to deal with spillages, accidents or
firewater, such as absorbent materials, drain blockers or incident “grab packs”
 cleaning up of the contaminated area and the handling and disposal of contaminated materials
and wastes resulting from an incident
 use of product correct personal protective equipment (PPE).
All training must be documented. Participants should undertake a spill management knowledge test to
verify their understanding.
