1 PURPOSE OF THIS PLAN

This Tema LNG Project Emergency Preparedness Response Plan (EPRP) has

been compiled to establish the procedures for responding to specific emergencies

that may occur during constructional and operational phases of the Tema LNG

Project.

It is important to note that this is a conceptual framework, which has been compiled

to form part of the environmental approval process. This plan only addresses the

emergency preparedness and response for the following environmentally related

incidents:

Release of LNG into the receiving environment;

Potential effects to employees or general public (frostbite, cryogenic burns or

asphyxiation in confined spaces);

Potential Explosions.

Potential hazardous chemical spillages

This EPRP has been developed to summarise protocols and procedures to ensure

close coordination with emergency response organizations, agencies and also with

existing national and local Emergency Preparedness Plans (where identified). In the

event there is a conflict within the standards or regulations or within pre-established

site safety guidelines, the more stringent shall govern.

1.1 Revisions

This document will need to be updated and finalised by the independent

environmental practitioner and Quantum Power, prior to commencing with the

operational phase of the Tema LNG project. It is important to ensure that any new

or unforeseen specific details and additional emergency situations that may arise

are incorporated into this plan.

2 BACKGROUND

2.1 What Is Liquefied Natural gas (LNG)

LNG is natural gas in a liquid form. The natural gas is cooled to minus 259 degrees

Fahrenheit (-162 degrees Celsius), where it becomes a clear, colourless, odourless

liquid. LNG is neither corrosive nor toxic. It is made up of mostly methane, with low

concentrations of other compounds such as heavier hydrocarbons and nitrogen.



2

2.2 Is LNG Toxic?

Natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel and is used throughout the world to

reduce undesirable emissions. When LNG is exposed to the environment or spilled,

it will rapidly and completely evaporate leaving no residue in water or soil. The only

health risks associated with LNG are cold burns and asphyxiation.

2.3 Health Effects

Health Issues: The principal component of natural gas is methane, and is not

considered to be toxic. This gas can be considered as an asphyxiant, which is a

health risk simply because the gas can displace oxygen in a closed

environment.

Skin: Workers can receive cryogenic burns from direct body contact with

cryogenic liquids, metals, and cold gases. Exposure to LNG or direct contact

with metal at cryogenic temperatures can damage skin tissue more rapidly than

when exposed to vapour.

Inhalation: LNG vapours are considered to be non-toxic by inhalation.

Inhalation may result in dizziness, drowsiness, headaches, and similar narcotic

symptoms. However, no long term long term effects are expected.

3 LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR EPRP

With respect to the EPRP, the following national legislation is applicable:

The Environmental Assessment Regulation 1999 (LI 1652)

Environmental Protection Agency Act1994 (Act 490)

Energy Commission Act 1997, Act 541

Fisheries Act 2002 (Act 62)

Ghana Maritime Authority Act 2002 (Act 630)

Ghana Shipping (Protection of Offshore Operations and Assets) Regulations

2011

Oil in Navigable Waters Act, 1964, Act 235

Ghana Labour Act 2003, Act 651

The Factories, Offices and Shops Act 1970, Act 328.

Workmen Compensation Act 1987 (PNDCL 187)

Towards development and implementation of the EPRP, Quantum Power and the

Independent Environmental Practitioner will explore the application of other good

international industry practices.

and objectives of the EPRP to its stakeholders. This will include;

5.2.1 Internal

This will include communication within the operations of Quantum Power, its staff,

management and other contractors.

Recording of environmental incidents and accidents must take place in the

environmental incident register.

All findings from investigations and the corrective actions implemented to prevent

reoccurrence must be documented and added to relevant training material.

All preventive monitoring and measuring must be documented in order to assist in

refuting claims of negligence in the event of a disaster.

5.2.2 External

This will involve ensuring prompt response and communicating with relevant

regulatory agencies on any emergency incidence which will occur at the Tema LNG

project during and after project construction operation.

The appointed External Relations Officer (ERO) of Quantum Power will liaise with

the public, media and other parties in the event of an emergency that effects the

offsite environment and communities.

Any incident that affects the quality of terrestrial, marine or freshwater habitats, as

well or the health and safety of surrounding communities must be reported to the

relevant regulatory authority with oversight responsibility for protecting that

particular environmental media.

If there is any perceived environmental or social incidents an incident investigation

will be initiated within 24 hours of the time of happening and Quantum Power will

report to the appropriate regulatory agency of authority. Quantum Power will make

available to the regulatory agency, reports detailing:

The incidents that occurred and actions performed to contain it;



7

The possible impact of the incidents;

The remediation that has and will continue to take place.

5.3 Monitoring and Inspections

Monitoring and inspections will be scheduled by the ERC and conducted by trained

and experienced professionals of Quantum Power routinely. Results of all

monitoring and inspections exercises will be reviewed by senior management of

Quantum Power and audited for third party verification. Inspections will be

conducted in areas where there are potential vulnerability to the occurrence of

hazardous materials and other confined spaces. If the source of the incident can be

controlled, appropriately trained personnel are permitted to control it, only if safe to

do so. A draft monitoring and inspection template is provided in Annexure A.

5.4 Initial Notification and Assessment

Quantum Power will develop appropriate incident reporting system for the Tema

LNG project. Based on the classification of the incident, initial notification is to be

provided by personnel discovering the incident. Draft template for documenting

contact details is presented in Annexure B. If there is an immediate threat to human

life (for example, fire), the affected area must be evacuated. A draft incident

reporting template is provided in Annexure C of this plan.

On discovering of an incident, it is required of the discoverer to provide the following

information but not limited to:

Location of the incident (building, floor, room, area);

Number and types of injuries;

Identity or type and estimated amount of spilled material (if spillage occurs);

Source of incident;

Behaviour of incident (reactions, leak, spill, fire);

Anticipated movement of spill and actions being taken;

Potential environmental hazards impacted by incident (on-site or off-site

population, storm drain system, marine environment).

Based on these factors above, the severity of the incident may be classified as one

of the following:

Emergency incident: An incident is an emergency when it poses a serious

threat to human health or the environment. Emergencies must be handled by

appropriately trained and certified emergency responders.

Non-emergency incident. An incident is a non-emergency when it is not life

threatening and will not result in serious environmental damage.



8

Controllable emergencies include (but are not limited to):

o LNG spills contained within the spill containments that do not result in fire;

o Overpressure of gas or liquid process piping;

o Small fires that do not involve flammable gases;

o Electrical fires that do not involve flammable gases;

o Loss of electrical power;

o Unexpected LNG point of transfer disconnection;

o Minor vehicle accidents;

o Security breaches that do not result in substantial damage to the station;

Uncontrollable emergencies include (but are not limited to):

o LNG spills not contained by the spill containments and do not result in fire;

o LNG spills not contained by the containments and result in an unconfined

fire;

o Flammable gas leaks from significant failure of a pipeline or equipment;

o Building or equipment fires that contain or can contain flammable gases;

o Structural failure of an LNG storage tank;

o Severe weather conditions that can cause damage to equipment and

systems or loss of containment of LNG or flammable gases.

5.5 Procedures for Internal and External Notification

Anyone discovering an emergency situation should begin the notification process by

contacting first the Site Security and subsequently the relevant regulatory authority

of concern if the emergency is life-threatening.

Site Security then contact the following:

Appointed duty officer;

Security manager;

Fire marshal / assistant fire marshal, as required (if there is a fire incidence)

The duty officer will assess the incident for notification escalation. If the incident

warrants additional action, the duty officer will contact, or use a proxy to contact the

following:

Senior leadership, who is responsible for communicating to human resources,

senior management, and other relevant bodies;

Communications representative, who is responsible for communicating to

employees, subcontractors, and the public;

The safety officer, who is responsible for communications central to safety

issues, investigations, and timely authority notification;

The first member of the emergency response team to arrive at an incident will

establish the incident command in terms of Quantum Power procedures.



9

5.6 Procedures for External Notifications

Quantum Power will develop procedures to ensure that all external parties are

effectively notified of any incident or emergency associated with the project. The

appointed ERC will further develop procedures for communicating all indentified

emergencies on site for management approval.

6 SUMMARY PROCEDURES FOR IDENTIFIED EMERGENCIES

This section of the EPRP summarises, emergency procedures and preparedness actions for

some identified emergencies. During the full development and implementation of this EPRP,

the ERC coordinator and the ERC team will establish detailed emergency procedures as per

the classification of identified emergencies.

6.1 Major Spillages

6.1.1 Preparedness

Spillages (during both construction and operational phases) occur most often where

hydrocarbons or chemicals are being used. However, in the case of this project,

major spillages are likely to involve the bulk transportation of Liquefied Natural Gas.

Spillages of chemicals and other materials in use on site can have a detrimental

effect on sea/water quality, aquatic organisms and people drinking contaminated

water.

Where an incident/near miss is spotted, the observer will follow prescribed process

of notification and communication to the ERC and Environmental Manager. In order

to control spillages, Quantum Power will ensure the provision and availability of the

following to help contain and manage spillages on site. The nature and extent of

spill will determine type of containment material to be used. The following are some

examples;

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS);

Appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE; eye protection, shoes, gloves

and masks / self-contained breathing apparatus);

Spill kits (absorbent material, booms, mattresses);

Shovels;

Brooms;

Earth moving equipment;

Waste bags (labelled)

Hazardous storage containers (labelled)



10

6.1.2 Actions taken in response to a major chemical spillages

In the event or observance of major spillages, it is prescribed that the following

actions are followed;

Stop every activity and turn off equipment in the area of the spill occurring

Immediately implement appropriate spill risk assessment, response and

management plans procedure you have been trained in. Identify and stop

spillage at source.

Alert and determine if anybody was injured (if safe to do so) and report incident

to supervisor/line manager, who will in turn report to operations manager, spill

response team and environmental manager;

Record incidence and inform first aider or emergency services, even if nobody

was injured;

Contain spillage as best possible to prevent contamination of receiving

environment. Where necessary place movable bund walls within the spill area to

prevent spread and demarcate the area as a no-go zone.

Where spills can be cleaned up easily, clean up and record incidence. Ensure

safety signages are put in the area of clean up.

Where other hazardous chemicals are not easily contained, refer to

MSDS/PSDS for procedure to handle chemical.

Where spillages occur onshore and results in degradation of land based area,

initiate programs to rehabilitate contaminated area. Obtain specialist input or

services where required;

Continue monitoring and inspection to ensure root cause of spill is rectified.

Ensure proper disposal of contaminated and clean up materials in accordance

to MSDS

Notify relevant authorities of the incident;

Initiate investigation to identify the cause of the incident;

Implement plans to prevent similar incident recurrence;

Provide authorities with details of actions taken to remediate the incident

6.2 Pollution of the Receiving Environment

6.2.1 Preparedness

LNG will not pollute natural resources such as groundwater, soil, wetlands, streams

or beaches. It vaporises quickly and completely, and doesn’t contain any pollutants

from the spill. However, where there are other potential discharges from the

operation of LNG vessel and other ancillary facilities to the external receiving

environment, Quantum Power will develop detail procedures in effect.



11

6.2.2 Actions to be taken in response to pollution to receiving environment

Actions to be taken in response will be specific to the observed environmental

pollution and characteristics of the receiving environment. Detailed procedures will be

developed by the ERC and Emergency Response team during the full

implementation of this EPRP.

6.3 Frostbite or Cryogenic Burns

6.3.1 Preparedness

Cryogenic burns are the primary risk. Any exposed skin that comes in contact with

LNG will get a cryogenic burn. LNG is a liquid at -260 F; however, even as the liquid

warms and becomes a vapour it is still very cold, -100 F to -200 F. All equipment,

instruments and piping that come into contact with LNG will be extremely cold.

Moist skin coming in contact with cold metal parts will freeze instantly and could

adhere to other materials.

Personal protective equipment should always be worn, consisting of cryogenic

gloves, resistant long sleeve shirt, long pants, and a face shield to protect the face

from any splashing liquid.

Equipment required during the mitigation of an incident could include:

Appropriate PPE

o Hand protection (protect the user from the substance as well as being

easy to remove in an emergency);

o Eye protection;

o Appropriate warning signs.

Regular induction and training of staff should be conducted in terms of the safe

handling of equipment on the LNG project.

6.3.2 Actions to be taken in response to cryogenic and frostbite

Actions to prevent cryogenic burns:

Regular inspection of the entire pipeline;

Regular maintenance of the pipeline and pumping equipment;

Continual observation of pressure gauges and pipeline outlets;

Regular training of employees and personnel in terms of the safe handling and

operation of equipment.



12

Actions in response to cryogenic burns:

Prolonged contact with cold vapour may result in:

o Frostbite;

o Breathing discomfort;

o Respiratory difficulties;

o Hypothermia.

It is recommended to remove the affected party from the area to avoid such

hazards and then to apply the necessary first aid.

6.4 Combustion Events

6.4.1 Preparedness

LNG is not flammable in its liquid state, but it is flammable as a vapour mixed with

air. Due to the rapid evaporation of LNG when exposed to ambient temperatures,

natural gas vapours are present immediately upon exposure to the environment. In

order for combustion to occur, the percentage of natural gas present in air must be

between five and fifteen percent.

Quantum Power shall ensure the following preparedness actions are implemented;

Ensure regular inspections that LNG storage tanks and components (e.g. pipes,

valves, and pumps) meet international standards for design integrity and

performance to avoid failures and to prevent fires and explosions during normal

operations and during exposure to natural hazards;

Routine maintenance of all equipment and infrastructure associated with the

project;

All activities should be undertaken by appropriately trained employees (Permit

to work system);

Use of appropriate PPE;

Provision of fire extinguishers in key areas;

Installation of fire alarm control panels;

Installation of flame detectors;

Incorporation of emergency shutdown device(s);

Training of staff in terms of evacuation procedures;

Training of emergency crews for responding to fires or explosions along the

pipeline route.

It is initially prescribed that Quantum Power will install two fire alarm systems as

indicators in the event of any combustion or fire i.e.



13

6.4.1.1 Intermittent Fire Alarm:

The following procedures will be followed on hearing an intermittent fire alarm;

If you at a normal place of work, remain in that location and prepare to evacuate the facility

If you are not at your normal place of work, report to the line manager or supervisor

Turn off any machinery or equipment in the section where you work

Complete any task you have been trained on in emergency procedures

The site security will go to the nearest fire alarm panel and investigate the alarm

6.4.1.2 Continuous Fire Alarm:

The following procedures will be followed on hearing a continuous fire alarm;

Alert all persons who may be standing nearby and ensure all doorways are

clear of any blockades

Leave any task attended to and make way to the fire assembly point through

any of the emergency fire exist routes.

Do not rush back into any office or the facility premises to rescue any person or

property.

Wait at the fire assembly point until a head count has been conducted by the

Environmental Manager.

The Site Security will call to inform the Ghana National Fire Service on

telephone No 192. Do Not Assume the Call has been received until it has been

acknowledge by the GNFS.

Implement a quick fix procedure (if fire can be contained by site equipment) by

the site emergency response team while waiting for the GNFS

Conduct investigation into the fire/combustion incidence immediately

7 MONITORING AND CORRECTIVE ACTION

This EPRP commits Quantum Power to a monitoring and measurement programme

to ensure they are timely aware of conditions that could give rise to an emergency.

All conditions that could give rise to an emergency must be reported and dealt with

immediately.
