1 INTENT

The Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is designed to direct and guide the Site Emergency Response Team Leader (SERT Leader) and Site Emergency Response Team (SERT) to respond effectively to site level emergencies and return the site to normal operations.

2 ERP ACTIVATION AND ESCALATION

When a site level emergency is declared, the SERT Leader will activate the ERP and escalate where appropriate to internal and external parties through the site actions. A toolkit is provided at the end of this ERP to help the site activate and appropriately escalate the site level emergency and to safely return the site to normal operations.

3 PURPOSE

The purpose of this ERP is to describe the process to be followed to effectively manage site level emergencies. Table 1 below outlines the Emergency Response Process.

Table 1 – Emergency Response Process

People

Stop work and make work area safe Evacuate and muster (if deemed necessary)

Account for all people and determine missing persons Stop unauthorised access to site

Environment

For emergencies that are safe to manage, (such as small fires, leaks and medical first aid emergencies), trained people will be mobilised to control and contain the emergency to minimise the impact.

Assets

Monitor automatic shutdown of the equipment or part thereof or initiate manual shutdowns where it is safe to do so Contact emergency services Contact Group Emergency Response Team

Reputation

Notify neighbours (if required).

Liability

All people responsible for responding to an emergency will be trained in this ERP.

9 SCENARIO RESPONSES

Please see the Emergency Response Toolkit in section 13 for the tables outlining the responses for situations classified as emergencies.

9.1 Termination of Emergency

The emergency status must be maintained until instruction is given by the SERT Leader (or QFRS/QPS if assumed control) that the emergency is over. If necessary, all involved parties are to be informed that the situation has been controlled and the emergency is over.

An incident investigation will be started as soon as practicable after the emergency. The following steps should be considered:

• It is important that the incident area is not disturbed before the investigation is completed • Care should be taken to ensure evidence is preserved and not disturbed, e.g. take

photographs, store site emergency response logs, make sketches of the incident area and do not wipe off white boards. If necessary, collect samples and data for future analysis (e.g. weather, wind direction etc.)

• If a serious injury or fatality has occurred, work must not be resumed until authorised by the Group Emergency Response Leader


9.2 Recovery Actions

Prior to resuming work, do the following

• Check plant and equipment for structural, physical and electrical/instrumentation integrity

• Ensure all active fire protection measures are restored (e.g. Foam replaced)

• Replenish emergency response equipment as required

• Replace or return any third-party emergency equipment.

• People who were involved may require counselling, depending on the nature of the incident

• People should be debriefed with all relevant information captured for a ‘lessons learnt’

• Conduct a toolbox talk on specific start-up activities before restarting work

• Emergency response plans and training may need to be revised before resuming normal activities

9.3 Post-Incident Clean-Up

Post incident clean-up must be done using the following guidelines;

• Conduct an initial inspection to identify the extent of equipment and plant damage

• Assess potential decontamination needs (e.g. Removal of chemicals/oil/foam from plant/equipment, contaminated soil etc.)

• Store all contaminated material in proper containers, pending offsite disposal by licensed hazardous waste contractors

• Repair or replace damaged equipment and plant

• Inspect and test affected equipment

• Attend to commissioning and site reinstatement

• Remember that certain waste materials may be regarded as “regulated” and will need to be disposed to an authorised waste management facility.

9.4 Training

All people must be given specific instructions and training on how to respond to emergencies and in the use of the emergency response equipment.

9.5 Drills and Exercises

Drills and exercises must be carried out to ensure that everyone is familiar with the actions to be taken in the event of an emergency. Responses to scenarios will be discussed in conjunction with toolbox talks at site.

The Police, Fire Authorities and other emergency service agencies will be consulted to ensure that their roles for all levels of emergencies are correctly incorporated in to the Emergency Response Plan. This contact should be made at least annually. Drills or exercises may require the escalation process to involve the Armour Group Emergency Response Team.

The effectiveness of each exercise is to be evaluated and documented in conjunction with the ERP. Where inadequacies are identified they should be addressed through assigning appropriate corrective actions and ensuring that the actions are performed and closed. The drills and exercises are conducted as per the Kincora Desktop Emergency Exercise Calendar.

10 REVIEW AND UPDATE

The ERP will be reviewed and updated as necessary in response to one or more of the following;


• Annually

• When major changes which may affect the emergency response coordination or capabilities have occurred

• Following routine testing of the plan through emergency response exercises and drills

• After an actual emergency or

• Before installing and commissioning new plant and equipment

During the review, the following aspects are also to be considered:

• Lessons learned from an emergency

• Changes in legal requirements

• Improvements to effectiveness in terms of response strategy, management and communication

• Developments in the latest techniques and technology in handling an emergency

• Changes to, or movement of people within our organisation

• Changes to contact numbers of internal and external organisations

• Revisions to existing, or availability of, emergency management tools and equipment and resource suppliers and contractors.

Note: 30/30 Lightning Rule The most important principle of lightning safety is to remember that no place outside is safe when lightning storms are within ten (10) kilometres. Storms are considered ‘local’ when they are within a ten (10) kilometre radius. Because lightning can strike many kilometres from the thunderstorm itself, long standoff distances are required to help in minimising the risk of personal injury. One of the best rules of thumb for gauging the threat of lightning is the ’30/30 Rule’. If the time between seeing a flash of lightning and hearing thunder is less than 30 seconds, head for shelter immediately. It is estimated that for every three (3) seconds of a delay between a lightning flash and thunder equates to approximately one (1) kilometre away (therefore, where there is 30 seconds between a flash of lightning and the sound of thunder the lightning activity is approximately ten [10] kilometres away). Although the ‘30/30’ rule can be useful, it cannot be used until after the first lightning strike, so is it important to be alert to changes in sky conditions to pre-empt any storm developing overhead. After the last lightning or lightning, remember to stay safely inside for 30 minutes:

• No person is to be allowed near or on tanks or other steel structures;

• All persons are to remain indoors until the threat of lightning is gone;

• After the storm has passed co-opt whatever staff are available and make an immediate inspection of the plant looking for any signs of leakage or other malfunctions;


• Respond to any leakage as detailed in the Gas Leak section of this plan;

• Check the integrity of the plant buildings;

• Check computer systems to ensure that they are still functioning correctly;

• Check the Well heads for any well head problems;

• Check the well head supply and line delivery pressure for indications of leakage, and

• Any significant system failures are to be reported. There may be a need to engage a maintenance crew if there is damage that is not able to be fixed.
