2. FACILITY DESCRIPTION
The emergency plan must include a brief description of the facility and its operation. Other
required background information includes:
The site layout plan shall detail significant facility features as applicable, not limited to below:
• Site boundaries
• Evacuation Routes
• Emergency access points
• Grid references (if applicable)
• Electrical supply isolation
• Gas supply isolation valves
• Water isolation valves
• Storm-water drainage points
• Open uncovered land that may act as run-off sinks
• Sewage system outlets
• Emergency evacuation assembly points
• First aid stations
• Location of relevant emergency plan information and safety information
• Site topography (including bunding and site drainage)
• All hazardous materials under control of the facility
• Location of the facility emergency control center
• Location of emergency resources and equipment (e.g. Fire extinguishers, neutralizing
agents, absorbents, fire water pumps, fire water valves, booster, etc.).
Emergency Response Plan
The types and levels of possible emergencies identified for the facility shall be described, such as
the following:
- Fires
- Floods and Natural Calamities
- Medical emergencies
- Unknown toxic substance
- Vehicular accidents
- Explosions
- Power failure
- Equipment/machinery failure
- Pandemics (i.e. influenza, H1N1, etc.)
- Gas leakage
- Earthquake
Prioritize or rank workplace emergencies to ensure that the emergency most likely to occur is
planned first and appropriate emergency response procedures are determined.
The emergency plan shall identify the tiers of emergency from the perspective of response, as
per the following:
Tier 1: An emergency where the risk to people and property is expected to be confined to a specific
location within the site and no escalation is expected. This level of emergency can be handled using
resources immediately available within the site /project owner’s organization.
Tier 2: An emergency where the risk to people and property is expected to spread to or affect all parts
of the site, but not off-site. This level of emergency requires immediate notification to HC H&SA
Assurance.
Tier 3: An emergency where the risk to people and property is expected to impact both within the site
and beyond the boundary of the site. This level of emergency requires immediate notification to HC
H&SA Assurance and national emergency response services.
The emergency organizational structure will embody all emergency functions identified i.e. the
allocated areas of responsibility involved in managing an emergency at the facility. The functions
nominated for the facility shall be listed in the plan, together with the associated roles,
responsibilities and duties of personnel assigned to these functions, and arrangements for
appropriate backup.
Emergency Response Plan
The functions shall address the areas of responsibility required to manage the emergency. The
specific manner of translating areas of responsibilities into functions will depend on the size and
the resources of a facility.
The emergency plan shall provide the following details of command structure and personnel:
The roles, responsibilities, functions and needs of all key stakeholders (e.g. industry, the community,
and external agencies such as the Police and Fire services) shall be clearly identified. These
definitions will be derived through extensive consultation. The plan shall identify the phases when
consultation is necessary, such as when the plan is being updated.
The location of the emergency control center (ECC) and any alternative shall be nominated. The ECC
shall be readily accessible and appropriately resourced with communications equipment and
essential documents, including the emergency plan, emergency procedures, SDS and other relevant
safety information. Location maps and site layout plans, as well as information relating to the
relevant hazards and emergency equipment available, shall be available in the ECC and distributed
to the emergency services. A dedicated ECC may not be necessary for smaller facilities that could use
existing office amenities.
Ideally, the ECC shall be located outside the potential hazard zone. If the hazard zone envelops the
center during an emergency, control operations shall proceed to an alternative control center
identified in the plan.
Emergency controller is in charge of managing an emergency for the facility and has overall
responsibility for all functions performed by facility personnel during an emergency. This role
requires a sound knowledge of:
- The site
- The materials used
Emergency Response Plan
- The processes
- The potential impacts of emergencies on people and property
- The application of the emergency plan.
Emergency Control Organization, while some of these duties may be assigned or delegated to
other positions or personnel in the emergency control organizational structure before or during
the emergency, ultimate responsibility remains with the facility emergency controller. The plan
shall define the role, responsibilities and duties associated with the position, including
arrangements for delegation.
The people acting in a position within the organizational structure, or conducting certain
emergency functions, will require clear methods of identification i.e. Controller Vest.
9. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Specific emergency procedures specific to identified emergency scenarios, are an important part
of the overall emergency management system. They shall be clear, simple, practical and
achievable. The detail contained in the procedure will depend upon the characteristics of the
facility. The procedures shall describe the steps to be undertaken, the precautions, the
protective clothing and equipment to be used, any special conditions, and the responsibilities
and duties of people undertaking these procedures.
Emergency procedures relating to incidents shall take into account the properties of the
hazardous materials and the impacts on people, property and the environment, as estimated in
the hazard analysis process. As an example, the following actions might be considered in
developing the steps for an emergency procedure relating to a spill of corrosive liquid:
The availability and location of specialized emergency equipment to support the functions
identified in the plan shall be indicated on the site layout plan. Details of, and procedures for,
access to additional equipment from other sources such as mutual aid facilities must be
provided. Emergency equipment may consist of the following:
- Emergency vehicle(s)
- Self-contained breathing apparatus
- Firefighting equipment
- Containment equipment such as booms, sandbags, vermiculite or sand
Emergency Response Plan
The facility shall have an effective alarm and warning system for all levels of emergency. The
emergency plan must include both off-site and on-site warning systems. Issues to be considered
for inclusion in the plan are:
The roles, responsibilities and duties of all personnel involved in activating the emergency plan
when the initial alarm is raised shall be defined. The plan shall also indicate:
The means of addressing communication issues with the relevant emergency services and other
stakeholders.
The role, responsibilities and duties of the person nominated to advise the emergency services of
the emergency shall be identified. The nature of the initial advice and the information required shall
be determined following consultation with the Police, Fire and other emergency services. The advice
would usually be given by dialing 999 asking for the relevant emergency service agency (typically
Fire).
- The information provided shall include the following details, where available:
- Name and location of the facility (street, nearest cross street to relevant site entry)
- GPS coordinates
- Number of injured persons or casualties and the nature of injuries
- The type and scale of emergency, including a brief description
- Hazards involved (including details of substances)
- Telephone contact number (for any return messages)
- Name of person making the call
- Any other useful information (e.g. wind speed and wind direction)
This refers to reporting to SC H&SA and government agencies or groups other than the Police, Fire
and emergency services. The procedures for reporting emergencies and the role, responsibilities and
duties of personnel reporting shall be defined.
The plan shall outline the procedures and responsibilities for terminating an emergency. These shall
be considered in terms of:
- The return of control to the facility emergency controller by the emergency services
- The declaration by the facility emergency controller that the emergency has been
terminated
An easily accessible list of current emergency contact numbers must be provided, which may
include:
- Key facility personnel details (including job title, local extension and after-hours
numbers)
- Government, local authorities and other relevant statutory agencies
- Other company offices (head office, regional office, etc.)
- Water, gas and electricity supply authorities, and other utility supplies such as
telecommunications
Emergency Response Plan
The emergency plan shall be tested when first developed, and then afterwards at suitable intervals to
enable deficiencies to be identified and corrected.
Testing shall consider all components of the plan, including the effectiveness of training. The operator
must consult with the relevant emergency services organization on testing of the emergency
procedures. The emergency drill shall be conducted within first 30 calendar days followed by the
commencement of operations; afterwards emergency drills shall be conducted on a monthly basis as
a minimum.
The records of testing and drills shall be, including the findings and lessons learnt shall be submitted
to SC H&SA for review, within 7 days of such drills and testing.
The emergency plan shall be reviewed at regular intervals to ensure its continued suitability and
effectiveness.
- Changes in legislation;
- Advances in technology and equipment;
- Changes in organizational direction;
- Changes in products and activities;
- Lessons from incidents;
- Findings of audits, reporting and communication.
It is essential to ensure that the “Management of Change” system in the organization prompts the
need for the review of the emergency plan. Reviews would include an evaluation of the
appropriateness of the objectives, targets and performance measures of the plan.
The plan shall be tested and reviewed regularly, and revised as necessary. It shall be updated when:
Temporary modifications to the plan shall be considered when undertaking non-routine activities at
the hazardous facility, such as maintenance, construction, and start-up or shut-down. The potential
for incidents increases during such activities, which often involve extra personnel on-site. In the case
of construction and maintenance, there is likely to be an increase in heavy vehicle traffic within the
site, and in the lifting and moving of process equipment. Each of these activities introduces potential
initiating events not present during normal operation.
