EMERGENCY EVACUATION INTRODUCTION PREPARING FOR AN EMERGENCY REQUIRES CAREFUL

PLANNING AND PREPERATION.

This emergency management plan incorporates the Pollution Incident Response Management Plan (PIRMP) as required under ICL Glendenning

EPA Licence Number 12294.

What a person does in an emergency is determined by what they have been doing regularly for a long time.

Training will be provided to all staff and permanent contractors.

Annual testing of the emergency management plan (including PIRMP) will be

conducted.

All staff should be aware of the location of the nearest fire extinguishers, emergency exits and first aid kits to their work station. They should also be aware of the location of the emergency evacuation assembly area for their

site.

Be aware of the emergency shutdown procedures for the equipment and machinery you use.

In the event of an evacuation, assess your site emergency assembly area to

ensure it is safe.

a) harm to the environment is material if: x it involves actual or potential harm to the health or safety of human beings or to

ecosystems that is not trivial, or x it results in actual or potential loss of property damage of an amount, or amounts in

aggregate, exceeding $10,000 b) loss includes the reasonable costs and expenses that would be incurred in taking all

reasonable and practicable measures to prevent, mitigate or make good harm to the environment.

Pollution Incidents must be reported to the following authorities IMMEDIATELY:

x EPA x NSW Health x Fire & Rescue NSW x WorkCover NSW x Blacktown Council x

Any of the above emergencies could necessitate the full or partial evacuation of the site or areas of the site.

As an EPA licence condition, this number is displayed on the perimeter fencing for environmental incident notifications by members of the public, from both Power St and Belfast Place entry points.

Protocol for notification of incidents The number mentioned above is manned 24 hours. The person manning the telephone should try and capture as much information as possible from the complainant, including:

x The date and time of the complaint x The method by which the complaint was made x Any personal details of the complainant which were provided by the complainant

or, if no such details were provided, a note to that effect x The nature of the complaint

All this information can be captured on the Environmental Incident Report.

The person receiving the complaint MUST make the Pollution Incident Chief aware

of the complaint immediately. Pollution Incident Chief (PIC) is responsible for activating plans and notifying the relevant authorities in the event of a pollution incident.

7

The PIC should firstly call 000 if the incident presents immediate threat to human health or property. Fire and Rescue NSW, the NSW police and the NSW Ambulance service are the first responders, as they are responsible for controlling and containing incidents. If the incident does not require an initial combat agency, notify the relevant authorities in the following order.

1. EPA 2. NSW Health 3. WorkCover NSW 4. Blacktown Council 5. Fire & Rescue NSW

Contact numbers for the authorities are listed on the emergency telephone numbers page at the rear of this plan.

Communicating with neighbours and local community In the event of a pollution incident, ICL’s neighbours are to be notified if the incident is likely to have an impact on their property or operation. The most likely scenario affecting neighbours would be air emissions. Below is a list of the closest neighbours to ICL.

10

DURING AN EMERGENCY – NON POLLUTION INCIDENT

Duties of the Chief Warden The Chief Warden is a person nominated to head the Emergency Control Organisation and coordinate evacuations during an emergency situation. In the absence of the Chief Warden, The Deputy Chief Warden shall take responsibility for emergency situations The Chief Warden, on hearing an alarm, or being made aware of an emergency, will proceed to the Master Emergency Control Point (MECP) – usually the office or any other central location away from danger, determine the nature of the emergency and bring the Emergency Control Organisation into play. The Chief Warden will contact the emergency services and ensure access to the site is restricted. The Chief Warden shall assume control of all occupants of the buildings from the time the emergency alarm is raised until the arrival of the emergency services. The Chief Warden will contact all Area Wardens and advise them of the situation (this will be done by telephone, mobile telephone or two way radios). The Chief Warden will order the evacuation and keep Area Wardens informed of the situation. When the Emergency Services arrive, the Chief Warden will advise the Officer in Charge (OIC) of the type, severity and location of the emergency. The OIC will then assume control of the emergency situation. The Chief Warden will obtain the “All Clear” from the OIC once the emergency situation has been controlled / eliminated. The Chief Warden will then arrange for the return of staff to areas vacated during the emergency. A detailed report of the emergency situation needs to be prepared and presented to senior management and the members of the Emergency Planning and Control Group.

11

Duties of Area Wardens Area Wardens are appointed for each area of the site to ensure all personnel in their area (this shall include staff, contractors and visitors) are informed of an emergency situation and are evacuated to the nearest evacuation assembly point. When becoming aware of the emergency situation (either hearing the alarm or being contacted by the Chief Warden), the Area Warden shall commence evacuation of their area. The Area Wardens will encourage people to leave the site through the nearest emergency exit and assemble at the emergency evacuation assembly point. The Area Warden shall arrange assistance for any mobility impaired people in their area and help them to the evacuation assembly point. Prior to leaving, the Area Wardens will make every effort to ensure their area has been searched thoroughly and evacuated. The status of their area will be reported to the Chief Warden once they have left their area. Note: Area Wardens should not put themselves at risk of injury by entering a dangerous situation during an evacuation. If at any time the Area Warden feels in danger or under threat, they should remove themselves from the situation and evacuate to the nearest assembly point.

Warden Indemnity Emergency Control Organisation Wardens shall not be held liable for negligence as a result of any act or admission on their part during the course of an emergency evacuation (or practice emergency evacuation) of the building when they act in good faith and in the course of their duties.

BOMB THREATS

There are many reasons why people make a threat of the placement of a bomb in or around businesses. Threats usually originate from people who have a personal grudge against your company or tenants. They may be staff or ex-staff or other people who wish to disrupt your operations. The Police have overall authority and control when dealing with bomb threats or bomb placements. They need to be contacted at the first sign of suspicious packages being placed in or around the site. A great deal can be done to prevent the placement of explosives and thermionic devices into the site or parts of the site. This can minimise the disruptive effects in the event of an actual bomb incident. Good security planning and good housekeeping will do much to reduce the threat. Good housekeeping includes keeping all areas clear of waste such as packing materials, scrap paper etc. Waste and garbage bins should be regularly emptied and not left standing in areas that are accessible by the public. The locking of doors to areas, cabinets and closets which are infrequently used ensures that there are fewer places available for the placement of devices. The existing security arrangements, including the screening of visitors, assist in ensuring that unauthorised access to the site is reduced. It is also important to ensure that emergency exits are kept completely clear. These measures will minimise the number of potential places to conceal a bomb, and thus reduce the search time in the event of a bomb threat. It will also contribute to a good standard of security and staff safety. It is the policy of management that all bomb threats/warnings should be taken seriously and regarded as genuine until it can reasonably be assumed that a bomb is not present, or the bomb threat is a hoax.

17

Threat Evaluation While bomb threats or warnings may be received by message or mail, the most common method is by telephone. Calls through listed telephone numbers in the Telephone Directory can be expected. An accurate analysis to the telephone bomb threat can provide valuable information on which to base subsequent emergency action and follow-up investigation. As an example, the caller delivering the threat could reveal personal characteristics, or unwittingly provide a clue to his location through background noise. A Bomb Threat Checklist is provided at the back of these procedures for recording details of bomb threats. Receptionists/Switchboard operators in particular must be familiar with this Checklist and have copies readily available. The completed Bomb Threat Checklist should be handed to the Police who are investigating the incident. In the case of a written threat or warning being received, the message together with the envelope must be preserved and handled as little as possible in order to preserve fingerprints. NOTE:- Over-reaction to bomb threats will be avoided by thoughtful evaluation. If a business can be effectively disrupted through constant threats that disrupt the normal day to day operations over an extended period, then the bomber may achieve his objectives just as effectively as he would with an actual bomb detonation.

REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF BOMB THREAT RECEIVED, SOME ACTION MUST BE TAKEN

IN ALL INSTANCES THE POLICE MUST BE INFORMED
