Emergency Response Before or During a Thunderstorm Event 6.1 Awareness: When thunderstorms are forecast increase the frequency of checks (Radio Broadcasts, Call Observatory 1878200, Visual Inspection. for clues ‘that thunderstorms may bé developing or close by: increasing, thickenings and darkening clouds, increasing rain, and increasing wind). Ifthe developing storm is nearby, seek shelter even before the fist lightning fash). - 6.2 Proximity Assessment: When you first see lightning, hear thunder or receive a thunderstorm warning assess the proximity ofthe storm to the site. A goad rule of thumb is the:~ FLASH-BANG / 30-30 Rule 7 ‘When you see lightning (FLASH), count the time until you hear thunder (BANG). If this time is 30 seconds co less, seek proper shelter, if you can't see the lightning, just hearing the thunder is a good back-up rule. Wait 30 minutes or more after hearing the last thunder before leaving shelter. Lightning offen precedes rain, so-don't wait forthe rain to begin befure suspending activities. 6.3 Suspend Activities: The Project Manager should issue the instruction to suspend activities. {f outdoor workers have not received an instruction and. thunderstorm Is nearby, they should stop work, report to their supervisor and sesk safe shelter as soon as possible. ‘6.4 Evacuation: All personnel shall shelter in a substantial building, site office or in a fully enclosed metal vehicle (All ste office containers shall have earthing rods fitted) AVOID WATER AVOID HIGH GROUND ‘AVOID OPEN SPACES AVOID METAL OBJECTS (e.g. machinery, power tools, instrumentation, wires) AVOID UNSAFE PLACES (Trees, canopies, huts, unenclosed shelters) 6.5 Stuck Outside: Crouch down, Remove metal from person 2.9. watches; tools and throw away from yourself, Put feet together. Place hands over ears to minimize hearing damage from thunder. Avoid proximity (minimum of 5m}to other people. 66 In Shelter. Avoid water. Stay away from doors and windows.

Remember: "If you can see it (lightning), flee it; if you can hear it (thunder), clear it.” Lightning safety involves several easy steps that anyone can do, While lightning safety can be inconvenient, consider how inconvenient the alternative of not following these simple rules could bel No Place Outside Is Safe During Thunderstorms! ‘Step 1: Monitor weather forecasts. Plan around the weather to avoid the lightning hazard, ‘Step 2: Use the ‘30-30 Rule’ to know when to seek proper shelter. When you see lightning, count the time until you heer thunder. If this time is 30 seconds Fiash-Bang or less, seek proper shelter. If you can't see the lightning, just hearing the thunder is a 130-30 Rule good back-up rule. Wait 30 minutes or more after hearing the last thunder before leaving shelter. ‘i @ keep your eyes on the skies for cues that thunderstorms may be developing: increasing, thickening, and darkening clouds, especialy with deep vertical extent, step 3: increasing rain, and increasing wind. If the developing storm is nearby, seek shelter even before the firs ighining flash. Seek proper shelter when required, Dont hesitate, seek shetter immediately. The ‘best shelter commonly available against lightning is a large ‘ily enclosed substantially constructed buiding, e.g. your typical house, school, brary, of other pubic building. Substantially constructed means it has wiring and plumbing in the wall. Once inside, stay away from any conducting path to the outside. Stay off the corded telephone. Stay away from electical appliances, lighting, and electric sockets. ‘Stay away from plumbing. Dont watch Ightning from.windows or doorways. Inner rooms are Erope’ generally better. if you cant get to a substantial building, a vehicle with a solid metal roof and metal sides is.@ teasonable second choice. As wit a building, avoid contact with conducting paths going outside: close the windows, lean eway from the door, put your hands in your lap, dont touch the steering wheel, ignition, gear shifter, or radio. Convertibles, cars with fibergiass ‘or plastic shells, and oen framed vehicles dont count 2s lighting shelters. MYTH: e@ ars are safe because the rubber tres insulate them from the ground. TRUTH: Cars are safe because of their metal shell. - If you can't get to proper lightning shelter, at least avoid the most dangerous locations and activities. ‘= Avoid higher elevations ‘Avoid wide-open areas, including sports fields and beaches Avoid tall bolated objects like trees, poles, and light posts. Avoid water. : ‘Avoid open vehicles like open loaders construction vehicles. ‘Avoid unprotected open buildings like picnic pavilions, rain shelters, and bus stops Avoid metal fences and other metal structures. Step 4: DO NOT GO UNDER TREES TO KEEP DRY.DURING THUNDERSTORMS! 3s a last, desperate measure!! step &: {Youve made several bad decisions and are cutside far away from proper shelter when lightning PS: threatens, proceed to the safest location. Get off the higher elevations, get out of the open fields, get away fom fal isolated objects, and get away from water.-VSLHONG KONG LTD. Thunderstorm Safety Guidelines £ © A Step 6: IElightning is imminent, it will sometimes give a very few seconds of warning. Sometimes your hair will stand-up on end, or your skin wil tingle, or ight metal objects will vibrate, or you'll hear crackling or “Kee-kee" sound. If this happens and you're in a group, spread out so there are several body lengths between each person. If one person is struck, the others may not be hit and can give first aid. Once you've spread out, use the lightning crouch; put your feet together, squat down, tuck your head, and ‘over your ears. When the immediate threat of lightning has passed, continue heading to the safest spot possible, . Remember, this is a desperate last resort; you are much safer if you follow the previous steps ard not gotten into this high-risk situation. 2 ichtning First Aid: First call 999 ‘+ All deaths from lightning are from cardiac arrest and stopped breathing at the time of the strike. CPR and mouth-to-mouth-resuscitation are the recommended first aid, respectively. + Ifyou are stil in an active thunderstorm and at continuing risk to yourself, consider moving the victim and yourself to a safer location. MYTH: Lightning victims are electrified. If you touch them, you'll be electrocuted: “TRUTH: _Itis perfectly safe to touch a lightning victim to give them first aid. No lightning safety guidelines will give 100% guaranteed total safety, but these steps will help you avoid the vast majority of lightning casualties. This procedure is suitable to all level of staff and workers In’ all means of communication, responsibitties, Implementation of action plan and action list, training and outdoor works promotion.SL HONG KONG LTD. Thunderstorm Safety Guidelines £ @ yf | VEHICLES ‘AND LIGHTNING Electrically speaking, at lightning's higher frequencies, currents are carried mostly on the outside of conducting objects. A thick copper wire or a hollow-wall metal pipe will carry most of the lightning on outer surfaces. This phenomenon is called Skin Effect. The same holds true for lightning when it strikes metal vehicles: the outer surface carries most of the electricity’ The persons inside this stee! box can be likened to protected by a partial Faraday Cage. But, consistent with lightning’s capricious nature, situations alter results. Is the car dry or wet? If the car is made of ‘fiberglass (a poor conductor) or a convertible, Skin Effect principles may not work. ‘Some general recommendations include: 1. Personal Safety Issues: Reported incidents and related injuries make it clear that a person inside a fully enclosed metal vehicle must not be touching metallic objects referenced to the outside of the car. Dcor and @ Wwincow nancies, radio dials, CB microphones, gearshifs, steering wheels and other inside-to-outside metal objects shouldbe left alone during close-in lightning events. We suggest puling off othe side of the road in 2 safe manner, turning on the emergency blinkers, tuning off the engine, putting one's hands in one's lap, and waiting out the storm 2. Heavy Equipment: Backhoes, bulldozers, loaders, graders, scrapers, mowers, etc. which employ an enclosed rollover systems canopy (ROPS) are safe in nearby elecrical storms. The operator shotid shut down the equipment, cose the doors, and sit with hands in lap, waiting out the storm. In no circumstances, during close-in lightning, should the operator attempt to step off the equipment to ground in an attempt to find another shelter. Very dangerous Step Voltage and Touch Voltage situations are created when a “dual pathway to ground’ is created. Lightning voltages will attempt to equalize themselves, and they may go through a person in order to do 0. : ‘Smaller equipment without ROPS 1s not safe. Rubber ties provide zero safety from lightning. After all, lightning has travelled for miles through the sky: four or five iriches of rubber is no insulation whatsoever. People should safely abandon this machinery and get into a safe. shelter. 3, Metal buses are good Faraday Cages. Make sure all windows are closed and the "hands on laps" rule is observed. Pull over and wait out the storm. 4, The distances from lightning Strike A to Stike B to Strike C easly can exceed more than § miles. How much time is needed to get to shelter? Suspension of activites is very site-specific. For most situations, we EE Beating your tgtning detence at a F-B of 30 (igtning i si mies away. We also mmend wating to resume activities 30 minutes after the last observed lightning or thunder. This protocol may seem excessively conservative in many situations...well never get anything done under such strict guidelines..." It s a case-by-case risk management decision. And yes, safety and productivity sometimes are mutually incompatible. Safety, however, always should be the prevaiiing directive,| VsL HONG Konc LID. | Emergency Procedure # @s INFRASTRUCTURE FOR PENNY’S BAY DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT 1 Appendix 5 (Emergency Procedure “Fire”) Document No, OLPTO2005 & 2REI20SS/VSL21905_0 Fllename: General Emergency Procedure 14012004-VSL HONG KONG LTD.
