i. Fire or Explosion
Any fire or explosion directly involving _________________________________ will be
considered an emergency condition. A fire or explosion which occurs close enough to a
pipeline or terminal facility that threatens the facility is considered an emergency
situation.
In response to an emergency, the employee that discovers the emergency will assume the
role of initial Incident Commander in charge of a site-specific Incident Command System
(ICS), until the Incident Commander Responsibilities can be formally transferred to the
appropriate staff. The ICS is an organized approach to effectively control and manage
operations at an emergency incident. Emergency responders and their communications
will be coordinated and controlled through the Incident Commander in charge of the
ICS. Based on the conditions present, the Incident Commander will implement
appropriate emergency operations and activate appropriate ICS positions.
Upon notification of a spill, designated personnel will initiate containment actions. The
Incident Commander will notify personnel to form the Spill Management Team. The
team members will assist in directing and administering incident control, containment,
and cleanup operations; coordinating with the appropriate governmental and regulatory
officials; and handling inquiries and claims. The depth of the team will depend on the
magnitude of the spill. The minimum team organizational structure will include Incident
Commander (which is delegated to a Qualified Individual), Safety Officer, and Plant
manager/ Chief of Hospital.
Notification of Local agencies will be a joint effort between the Incident Commander,
Qualified Individual, and/or Liaison Officer. The initial Incident Commander will make
immediate notice to the local fire department if a release causes potential for a fire or
explosion hazard. The next call will be to a Qualified Individual who will make internal
and external notifications to government agencies and to activate spill response
resources/contractors (all Incident Commander Responsibilities may be formally
delegated to the Qualified Individual). Agency notifications may be delegated to the
Liaison Officer, and activation of spill response resources/contractors may be delegated
to the Logistics Section.

PPE Assessment
In order to be able to choose the proper PPE, the individual must be aware of what
hazards exist in the workplace. This involves obtaining information on the types of
hazards present, the toxicity of the materials involved, and what other options are
available to control exposure. General information about chemicals may be found
in Safety Data Sheets (SDS). The chronic and acute effect of chemicals, biological and
radiological materials should also be assessed. The next step would be to implement the
control measures necessary to prevent exposure into the operational procedures.
Head Protection
Head injuries are commonly caused by impact from falling or flying objects, and falling
or walking into hard objects. PPE devices such as hard hats may protect you from objects
falling on your head and, in a limited way, from electrical shock or burns. Hard hats
should be worn in areas where there is potential for head injuries.
Eye protection must be worn where there is potential for injury to the eyes or face from
small particles, toxic chemicals, flying objects or particles, large objects, thermal or
radiation hazards, and lasers. According to the types of and extent of hazards, different
PPE should be worn. PPE for the face and eyes includes devices such as safety glasses,
goggles, and face shields. These must always remain clean and free of contaminants.
Safety glasses or goggles must always be worn in laboratory areas.
Protective clothing, such as lab coats, should be worn when handling hazardous
materials. This will prevent the contamination of skin and clothing.
Hand Protection
Selecting the proper gloves is very important since it is our hands that are often used to
handle hazardous materials. These materials usually consist of caustic or toxic chemicals,
biological substances, electrical sources, or extremely cold or hot objects that may irritate
or burn your hands. In addition, traumatic injuries such as cuts, sprains and punctures
may also occur. With the wide range of hazards, there also exists a wide range of gloves
that may be used as PPE. It is important to know that not all gloves are protective against
all chemicals.
Foot Protection
Injuries that may occur when the proper footwear is not worn are chemical and heat burns
from spills and splashes of acids and caustics, compression injuries, electrical shocks, and
slipping. Wearing the proper footwear is therefore, very important when working in areas
where physical and chemical hazards are present. Close-toed, heeled shoes must always
be worn in laboratory areas where chemicals are present.
Hearing Protection
Exposure to high levels of noise may result in hearing loss. PPE should be worn when the
noise level is 85 decibels or greater averaged over an 8-hour period of time. Popular types
of hearing protection devices include earmuffs and foam earplugs.
Respiratory Protection
Respirators are used to prevent the exposure to air contaminated with harmful dusts, fogs,
fumes, mists, gases, smokes, sprays, or vapors. All respirator usage, which includes
disposable respirators, air purifying respirators, and air supplied respirators, require
annual fit testing and training prior to use.
x. Response equipment
Waste Handling
1. If unsure of waste disposal requirements, ask.
2. Remove waste material from spill site only with consent of supervisor.
3. Documentation is required for removal of waste by the Person-in-Charge of the
spill (oil, fuel or chemicals are not domestic waste).
4. If using barrels for storage of waste ensure barrels are empty and bungs are in.
5. Clearly mark the barrel or container of what residue or waste is inside.
6. Once spilled material is cleaned up they will be disposed of at an approved waste
facility.
The content of this Emergency Contingency Plan is to be updated when any of the
following occurs:
Change in process operations
Use of new chemicals and/or generation of new hazardous waste
Change in the Emergency Response Organizational Structure
Actual release of chemical(s) and activation of the Contingency Program
Significant change in the Response Procedures [resulting from drills)
Absence of the above the organization shall review the Contingency Program every three
(3) years and submit the same to EMB.
