1. Introduction
This Emergency Response Plan (ERP) has been prepared for Allied Pinnacle Australia Kingsgrove
facility located at 4 The Crescent, Kingsgrove New South Wales (NSW). The facility is engaged in the
manufacture of a wide range of food ingredients, namely grain-based baking supplies.
The purpose of this ERP is to develop and implement a system which is able to respond to any
foreseeable emergency, and that leads to the most effective outcome with minimal impact to health,
life, environment, and plant and equipment. It is a requirement that all those with emergency
management and/or response responsibilities as defined in this ERP have a copy of this Plan, and
receive the appropriate level of training needed to allow for an effective and integrated response to
potential incidents identified and addressed in this ERP.
The contents of this document are to be read by relevant staff and the all Allied Pinnacle personnel at
the Kingsgrove Site, contractors working within the site and, where applicable, by those contractors
delivering dangerous goods and other materials to the site shall be made aware of critical information
through induction and / or training.
Where any doubt exists about any aspect of safety or procedure, it is essential that you
consult with the Chief Fire Warden/Site Manager immediately.

2. Background
2.1. Conditions of Development Consent
The Conditions of Development Consent (CDC) (S01/00876) were issued by New South Wales
(NSW) Department of Planning (DoP) in 2001 as part of the Kingsgrove site upgrade and expansion
activities. These conditions specify a number of risk mitigation measures for implementation during
construction and operation of the site.
This ERP has been developed specifically to address the requirements of Condition 5.3 (a) of the
Development Consent. The requirements of Condition 5.3 (a) are:
Clause 5.3 No later than one month prior to the commencement of commissioning, or
within such period otherwise agreed with the Director-General, the Applicant shall prepare and
submit for approval of the Director-General the studies set out under (a) and (b) below.
Commissioning shall not commence until approval has been given by the Director-General.
A comprehensive Emergency Plan and detailed emergency procedures for the site, prepared by
a duly qualified person or team. This Plan should include detailed procedures for the safety of all
people in the vicinity of the site who may be at risk from operations at the site. The Plan shall be
in accordance with the Department’s Hazardous Industry Planning Advisory Paper No.1 –
Industry Emergency Planning Guidelines.
2.2. Guidelines Adopted in Preparation
To assist in formulating the ERP in an effective format, the following guidelines were referenced:
◼ Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources (DIPNR) Hazardous Industry
Planning Advisory Paper (HIPAP) No. 1 - Industry Emergency Planning Guidelines;
◼ Australian Standard 3745-2004: Planning for Emergencies in Facilities; and
◼ NSW Occupational Health and Safety Act 2003.
2.3. Definition of an Emergency
Allied Pinnacle has developed the following definition adopting the definition provided in The
Australian Standard (AS) 3745-2010: Planning for Emergencies in Facilities:
Emergency: An event that arises internally or from external sources, which may adversely
affect the environment, property, occupants or visitors in a facility and in the
surrounding areas, and which requires an immediate response.
Allied Pinnacle - Kingsgrove Emergency Response Plan 4 The Crescent, Kingsgrove
10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE iv
2.4. Levels of an Emergency
The three levels of emergency are defined as:
◼ LOCAL ALERT for any situation which threatens life, property or the environment at one location
on site, but may not spread to other areas on site
◼ SITE ALERT where effects may spread to other areas on the site
◼ EXTERNAL ALERT where effects may spread and impact on people, property or the
environment outside the site
Each of these three levels of emergency may be further classified as either of:
◼ MINOR EMERGENCY where the emergency can be handled entirely on site and no assistance is
required from the public emergency services
or
◼ MAJOR EMERGENCY where the situation requires the assistance of the public emergency
services, i.e. ambulance, fire brigade or police.
An External Alert is automatically a Major Emergency, as action cannot be taken outside the site
boundary independently of the public emergency services.

4. Hazards Identification
4.1. Facility Description
4.1.1. Site Location
The Allied Pinnacle site is located at 4 The Crescent, Kingsgrove in New South Wales. It is situated
approximately 12 kilometres (km) to the south west of the Sydney Central Business District, within the
Georges River Council Local Government Area. The property description is Lot 1, DP 200215. The
site occupies an area of 24,490 square metres (m2) and accommodates approximately 100
employees.

10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE vii
◼ Figure 4-1 Kingsgrove Site Location Map
4.1.2. Site Activities
Allied Pinnacle manufactures and distributes a range of food ingredients, in particular grain-based
baking supplies. The Site receives bulk deliveries of flour, oil and other ingredients and processes
these into finished products (approximately 80,000 tonnes per year) including:
◼ flours for items such as bread, pastry, cake, biscuit, noodle and culinary applications
◼ pre-mixes for bread, cake, donut and culinary applications
◼ other speciality flours and grain products
The processing equipment and storage of ingredients is entirely housed within existing buildings.
Activities outside the buildings are limited to solid waste recycling and storage and unloading of bulk
deliveries. The key areas of the facility are described in Table 4-1 and a site layout is provided in
Figure 4-2.
Allied Pinnacle - Kingsgrove Emergency Response Plan 4 The Crescent, Kingsgrove
10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE viii
◼ Table 4-1 Site Area Descriptions
Areas Description
Silos The flour silos are up to 15 m in height and are housed internally in the south-eastern area of the main building. The area is negatively pressured and both the silos and building contain vents for the controlled release of potential explosive energy.
Oil storage
This bunded area is housed internally and holds approximately five (5) edible oil tanks (total capacity of approximately 38 ML). Trucks delivering oil are required to be equipped with brake interlocks, which will only allow oil transfer from the truck when the brake is activated, thus helping to prevent accidental spills.
Bulk deliveries Bulk deliveries of flour products are received adjacent to the storage silos on the southern boundary of the site. Deliveries are typically made by an articulated flour tanker, and piped directly into the onsite flour silos using a blower housed inside the Allied Pinnacle building; as such the operation of truck mounted blowers is not required. The road at this location is marked as one direction, as bulk delivery trucks are required to enter through the southern gate (Gate B) and exit through the northern gate (Gate A).
Truck docks / driveway
The loading / unloading dock can accommodate two trucks at anytime, and an additional waiting bay, and is located adjacent to the LPG storage tanks in the north of the site. Oil deliveries are made at a point on the northern wall of the building, adjacent to the oil storage area. Trucks are required to enter through the northern access gate (Gate A) and reverse into the docks to load or unload, they then exit through the same northern gate. A forklift operates in this area; however this plant is not equipped with a reversing beeper.
Production floor The production area is a large open-space located in the eastern wing of the site. This area contains dry mixing machinery, blowers, conveyors and packaging equipment, in addition to other machinery.
Offices / kitchens and laboratories
The second floor of the building contains the office areas and test kitchen, whilst additional office space and a laboratory are located on the ground floor in the northeast of the building.

4.2.1. Hazards arising from on-site hazardous materials
A number of hazardous and dangerous chemicals are stored and handled at the Kingsgrove site. As a
result, leaks of flammable and combustible liquids may occur as a result of damaged drums or drum
leaks. In addition, drum handling errors could lead to damage, resulting in flammable and combustible
liquids leaking into either the storage or delivery areas.
Spillage of any one of these materials has the potential to result in a serious impact to personnel on
and offsite or a significant impact to the environment. Hazardous and dangerous materials are stored
within the bunded area in the facility. Potential hazardous liquid substances are stored in bunded
areas.
Spillage would normally be contained within the bunded area. Spill cleanup is covered within site
procedures. Spill prevention is required under the NSW best practice guidelines for contamination
prevention (Ref.4).
4.2.1.1. Dangerous Goods
The Kingsgrove Site stores Classes 2.1, 2.2, 3.0, 8.0 dangerous goods (DGs) (Table 4-4) and is
licensed to store Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and carbon dioxide in bulk under Dangerous Goods
(Storage and Handling) Regulations 2000.
LPG is used on-site for refilling of fork lift vehicles only and takes no part in the process or oil heating
operations. The main LP Gas tank is supplied, filled and maintained by ELGAS to AS 1596 -2008:
The Storage and Handling of LP Gas. The LPG tank is located adjacent to the firewater tank near the
northern entrance gate.
Liquid carbon dioxide is used to cool products that contain vegetable oil, via a dedicated and insulated
feed-line. This is only required for batches that contain vegetable oils in the mix. Filling is controlled
using Allen Bradley PLC systems, and carbon dioxide detectors are located in the mixing room to
warn operators of leakage.
Table 4-5 and Table 4-6 form an up-to-date inventory listing of the quantities and classes of
dangerous goods shall be stored and handled at the Site. This list shall be updated and maintained as

4.2.1.2. Edible Oil Storage / Transfer
Vegetable or edible oils are generally used as pre-mixes for the food industry. Edible oils are stored in
six dedicated oil tanks of capacities ranging from 4 - 12 m3 (or 4,000 – 12,000 litres) located in a
bunded compound separated by panel walls from the remainder of the main building and strictly
controlled by a hot works permit system. A spill tank is provided under the transfer hose connection
point in case of spills.
All oils have a flash point above 280C and will become combustible at elevated temperatures. They
are generally needed to be heated prior to transfer, as they are too viscous to flow at room
temperature. Oil is fed via dedicated pipe work to the mixing room for addition to stirred vessels. In
general mixing is carried out at room temperature, well below the edible oil flashpoint. Hence all
mixing processes are inherently safe.
Allied Pinnacle - Kingsgrove Emergency Response Plan 4 The Crescent, Kingsgrove
10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE xix
4.2.2. Fire and Explosion
4.2.2.1. Flammable and Combustible Liquids
Flammable and combustible liquids are stored on site in dedicated storage areas. Leaks of flammable
and combustible liquids may occur as a result of damaged drums or drum leaks. In addition drum
handling errors could lead to dropped drums that, if damaged, could lead to flammable and
combustible liquids either in the storage or delivery areas. In the event of ignition of the flammable or
combustible liquids, a pool fire could result.
The range of flour, sugar and other dry raw materials delivered in bulk are combustible dusts. These
raw materials are unloaded from bulk pneumatic tankers directly into the storage silos. During the silo
filling operation, the air within the silos could potentially contain an explosive atmosphere and would
be considered a Zone 20 explosive atmosphere as defined in AS/NZS 60079.10.2:2011 – Explosive
atmospheres – Classification of areas – Combustible dust atmospheres.
These raw materials are further transferred into the processing plant and there will be other areas
where the potential for an explosive atmosphere to occur exists. The factory building on site contains
multiple levels that are open to each of these levels, which indicate that when a high deflagration
event occurs at one of the levels (e.g. malfunction of equipment leads to the formation of a dust
cloud), then all other levels would then become exposed to concentrations of combustible dust which
could potentially be ignited.
The Site is generally staffed for 24 hours a day throughout the year, with the exception of public
holidays. Occasionally staff attendance is reduced to 5-6 days/week during non-peak times.
Personnel will be on hand during this time to respond to fire incidents. Outside of these times, all DGs
will be secured and the ventilation system in the DG store, and natural ventilation in the warehouse
will limit the potential for flammable vapour build up, ignition and fire.
4.2.2.2. Dust Deflagration
Grains, flour and sugars are capable of producing combustible dusts during transfer and storage.
All solids are delivered by dedicated road tankers, via an air compressor unit (delivering dry air at no
more than 1 bar) to transfer product to the silos for storage. During the silo filling operation, the air
within the silos could potentially contain an explosive atmosphere and would be considered a Zone 20
explosive atmosphere as defined in AS/NZS 60079.10.2:2011 – Explosive atmospheres –
Classification of areas – Combustible dust atmospheres.
These raw materials are further transferred into the processing plant and there will be other areas
where the potential for an explosive atmosphere to occur exists. The factory building on site contains
multiple levels that are open to each of these levels, which indicate that when a high deflagration
event occurs at one of the levels (e.g. malfunction of equipment leads to the formation of a dust
cloud), then all other levels would then become exposed to concentrations of combustible dust which
could potentially be ignited. The existing plant has used appropriate Zone 20, Zone 21 and Zone 22
electrical equipment for these hazardous locations. Explosion release (vent) panels have been
designed into the dust collectors.

The site has engaged an external consultant to inspect and compile a report on the hazardous zoning
areas on site. This report can be viewed in:
P:\Kgrv\Admin\Quality\QMS\REF(EXT)\KV-REF-07 Risk Management Deflagration Strategy Vers3-
2final.pdf
This report also contains site maps outlining the identified zones. The maps can also be found in:
P:\Kgrv\Admin\Quality\QMS\REF(EXT)\KV-REF-08 to 20
All loading, mixing and packaging operations are controlled by Allen Bradley PLC systems, with
overfill protection and explosion venting for silos and mixers provided.
All silos, solid mixers, and pressurised filling system are fitted with dust extraction and collection
systems. All grain and sugar filling operations are fitted with a Silo Overfill Protection system. High
level alarm systems and air pressure shut off are provided to reduce incidence of silo overfilling.
Dust explosion protection is provided through venting for all silos, and for areas above the silos.
A specific Deflagration (Explosion) Management Strategy has been prepared for the site,and is
included in Appendix A for reference.
4.2.3. On-site Activities and Equipment-related Hazards
4.2.3.1. Injuries and Illness
Personal injuries can occur as a result of work related accidents or from illness. A number of
hazardous and dangerous materials are stored on site. Spill and/or contact with these materials may
result in personal injury to staff involved with the handling of the materials.
4.2.3.2. Transport Incidents / Air Disaster
The site is a production warehouse, requiring constant deliveries and transport of raw materials and
manufactured products, transport vehicles are continually using the site and there is a potential for
collision between vehicles moving to the various facilities on the site. Whilst there are speed limits
placed on all vehicles on site, there is still a potential for incidents involving transport vehicles.
The site is located approx. 7.2Km from the main Sydney airport. The site is within the flight path of
planes and there is a low risk of the site being affected by a plane crash or incident.
4.2.4. External Hazards
4.2.4.1. Terrorism, Civil Disturbance, Vandalism or Intruder on Site
The potential for bomb threat or other type of terrorism threat exists at the site.
The site is located in an industrial area with a number of industrial and warehouse sites surrounding
the facility. The industrial/commercial site is located well clear of any potential areas where a large
crowd may gather (e.g. clubs, sport stadia, railway stations, etc.) resulting in a low likelihood for a civil
disturbance.
Notwithstanding the low potential for civil disturbance, there is a potential for vandalism and intruders
on site. Historically, there have been some small vandalism incidents involving unauthorised persons
Allied Pinnacle - Kingsgrove Emergency Response Plan 4 The Crescent, Kingsgrove
10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE xxi
entering the site. Security fence and gates have now been installed. Notwithstanding this, there is a
low potential for intrusion on site during normal operations where intruders climb over boundary
fences. The main hazard arises when staff approach unauthorised personnel, which may lead to
hazardous confrontation.
4.2.4.2. Natural Events (Floods/Earthquake)
There is potential for flooding on site due to the close proximity to Wolli Creek to the north and a
stormwater drain to the south, which may result in property damage and pollution of nearby
waterways. The site maintains a comprehensive stormwater management system, which is regularly
inspected which is designed to manage these events.
In the event of earthquake, there is a potential for wall/roof collapse. This may damage storage
containers resulting in flammable materials release. The bunded area in which these materials are
stored will retain spillage on site.
4.3. Hazard Analysis
In order to establish the system and procedure to manage an emergency, identified hazards needs to
be evaluated for its significance in terms of likelihood (probability) and severity of an incident occurring
as a result of the hazard. The level of significance will determine the priority assigned to its elimination
or minimisation (i.e. the need for an emergency response procedure).
Following factors needs to be taken into account when assessing hazards:
◼ Frequency of exposures to a hazard
◼ Location of a hazard
◼ Skills, experience, training and physical capabilities of the individual or groups
◼ Severity of possible consequences

5. Types and Levels of Emergencies
5.1. Types of Emergency
Following situations are covered in this Plan:
1) Fire and Explosion (incl. dust deflagration);
2) Loss of Containment (spill, leaks);
3) Medical (suffocation, skin damage by chemicals, inquiries etc);
4) Transport Incident (e.g. motor vehicle accident, plane disaster);
5) Subversive activities (e.g. bomb threat, vandalism, sabotage and intruders); and
6) Natural events (e.g. flood, storm).
5.2. Levels of Emergency
The three levels of emergency are defined as:
Local Alert For any situation which threatens life, property or the environment at one location on site, but may not spread to other areas on site.
Site Alert Where effects may spread to other areas on the site
External Alert Where effects may spread and impact on people, property or the environment outside the site
Each of these three levels of emergency may be further classified as:
Minor Emergency Where the emergency can be handled entirely on site and no assistance is required from the public emergency services
Major Emergency Where the situation requires the assistance of the public emergency services, i.e. ambulance, fire brigade or police
An External Alert is automatically a Major Emergency, as action cannot be taken outside the site
boundary independently of the public emergency services.

ERP – 01: FIRE AND EXPLOSIONS
1.0 GENERAL
It is imperative that for all fires and explosions the alarm is raised as early as possible.
Any alarm given for a minor fire (e.g. a small fire in a rubbish bin in a non-hazardous area and not in
danger of spreading) extinguished by the person on the spot should be “cancelled” and the Fire
Brigade immediately notified, whilst the Brigade will still attend the site, to ensure there will be no re-
ignition, there will be less urgency on the Brigades behalf.
In any fire situation, the first minutes are most critical and the initial decision to fight or to report can
only be based on the estimate by the individual of his/her capacity to extinguish the fire with what
equipment he/she has immediately to hand.
All explosions should be carefully assessed to determine whether they should be treated as a serious
and major incident. Where small explosions occur (i.e. localised and small, etc.), it may be possible to
respond and rectify the problem with on site resources. However in the event that a major explosion
occurs and significant damage results, external assistance will be required. The Chief Fire Warden
must be contacted in the event of any explosion. He/she will decide on the appropriate action.
Allied Pinnacle Kingsgrove staff are expected to be familiar with and be prepared to carry out the
following procedures.
IF IN DOUBT - SUMMON ASSISTANCE.
2.0 PROCEDURES
2.1 FIRE
All Employees
1) Warn personnel close by or those who may be in immediate danger.
2) Activate the nearest fire alarm
3) If the nearby alarm cannot be activated, immediately notify the Chief Warden. If the Chief Warden
cannot be located, notify his/her deputy and send someone to the reception area to advise of the
emergency and its location.
4) Stop loading or unloading operations. If possible, move vehicles to a safe area. Assemble at the
emergency evacuation assembly point depending on whether the incident affects the primary
assembly area.
5) If directed by Chief Warden, all personnel shall:
◼ Follow the instruction of Section Wardens
◼ Vacate the building or the fire location and go to the designated Evacuation Assembly Point
(see Section 1) ) if instructed so.
◼ Remain outside until the competent authority (Designated Official or designee) announces
that it is safe to re-enter.
6) Ensure free access to roadway for vehicles leaving the site. Prevent entry of vehicles other than
Fire Brigade, Ambulance etc
Allied Pinnacle - Kingsgrove Emergency Response Plan 4 The Crescent, Kingsgrove
10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE xxxiv
7) Operators, Section Wardens, Production Managers, Area Supervisors may fight fire with
correct extinguishers (refer to Section 7.2.3) ONLY if:
◼ The Fire Department has been notified
◼ The fire is small and is not spreading to other areas.
◼ Escaping the area is possible by backing up the nearest exit
◼ Received appropriate training to use extinguishers.
◼ Doing so does not jeopardize his/her safety.
Use fire extinguishers or hose reels as required. Take care to select the correct fire fighting medium
based on the fire type (i.e. care must be taken with electrical fires and water).
Chief Warden
1) Notify the Fire Brigade (0-000) if the alarm failed and automatic notification has not been made to
the emergency department.
2) Take charge of the emergency until the Fire Brigade arrives, then provide support to local
authorities. Take a mobile phone, if available.
3) When a fire alarm goes off or being notified about the fire emergency, Chief Warden will:
◼ Decides if part or total evacuations are required. The Chief Warden will direct Section
Wardens to commence evacuation if required.
◼ Advise operators to shut down plant or machinery if necessary.
◼ Advise electrician to shut off power if necessary. If no electrician available, Production
Managers, Area Supervisor (if safe to do so) shuts down power supplies.
4) Direct Section Wardens to ensure clear access for Fire Brigade (i.e. remove trucks off site).
5) Advise Fire Brigade of situation and be prepared to assist.
Section Wardens
1) Check designated areas if Chief Warden instructed to do so
2) Secure records and print evacuation list from Rapid Induct Sign in system.
3) Check their areas and ensure everyone has been evacuated.
4) Perform a roll call at the assembly point.
5) Attempt to rescue personnel casualties if involved in fire area only where a rescue can be
accomplished without undue risk to the rescuer.
NOTE: Under no circumstances are employees to place themselves or anyone else at risk.
2.2 EXPLOSION
All Employees
1) Respond and evacuate as per Procedure 2.1 (ERP-01).
Chief Warden
Allied Pinnacle - Kingsgrove Emergency Response Plan 4 The Crescent, Kingsgrove
10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE xxxv
1) Notify the Fire Brigade if appropriate.
2) Prior to the emergency service arriving the site, the Chief Warden or his/her deputy will complete
a head count on all employees, subcontractors and visitors.
◼ If all have been accounted for, Chief Warden will instruct the Emergency Management Team
to inspect area (only if safe to do so) for structural & environmental damage and carry out
appropriate action.
◼ If all have not been accounted for, Chief Warden will instruct the Emergency Team to carry
out a search & rescue (only if safe to do so).
3) Ensure clear access for Fire Brigade (i.e. remove trucks off site).
4) Advise Fire Brigade of situation and be prepared to assist.
2.3 DUST DEFLAGRATION
1) Use dust suppression for a sufficient period of time to suppress the dust (such as the use of a
sprinkler system, fogging units or similar), mitigating the exposure of dust clouds to other ignition
sources such as sources that are located external to the factory building.
2) Follow the procedures in Procedure 2.2 (ERP-01).

2.2 BURNS
There are three levels of burns:
◼ Level 1(Superficial): reddening (like sunburn) - outer layer of skin only
◼ Level 2 (Partial thickness): blistering - damage to deeper layers of skin
◼ Level 3 (Full thickness): whitish or blackened areas - damage to layers of skin plus underlying
structures & tissues. Fast action is essential.
Note: Burns to the face may have an effect on the casualty's breathing & these effects may
take some time to appear. It is important that any casualty who has inhaled smoke, fumes or
superheated air or has been burnt on the face obtains medical aid as soon as possible after
the incident.
First Aid Attendant
Follow the following notes when providing first aid treatment for burnt casualties:
◼ Ensure that contaminated clothing is removed unless it is adhering to the burn
◼ Thermal or Radiation Burns :
– Cool only with clean water if possible & resist using other substances up to 20 minutes for
thermal or radiation burns. Ensure the cooling process does not become excessive & cause
shivering
◼ Thermal or Radiation Burns :
– Flush chemicals from the skin, pay attention to the eyes, follow Material Safety Data Sheet
– Cool only with clean water if possible & resist using other substances up to 20 - 30 minutes
for chemical burn. Ensure the cooling process does not become excessive & cause shivering
◼ Cover with a clean no adherent burn dressing ( or plastic wrap)
◼ Remove tight clothing & objects e.g. jewellery ( if possible)
◼ Treat for shock if burn is severe
DO NOT BREAK BLISTERS
2.3 COLD BURNS OR FROSTBITE
Follow the following notes when providing first aid treatment for cold burns or frostbite casualties:
◼ Remove any clothing that may constrict circulation in the frozen area affected.
◼ Immediately place the frozen affected area in a circulating warm water bath ( shower, or bath)
with a temperature not exceeding 46 deg C. ( hotter water could cause a heat burn to the already
damaged tissue )
◼ Never use dry heat. This will cause a heat burn to the already damaged tissue
◼ Continue thawing the frozen tissue, keeping the affected part immersed intil the skin turns from a
pale blue to pink or red. Thawing may take 15 – 60 minutes. When thawed, the tissue becomes
painful, swollen, and prone to infection.
◼ If the frozen tissue thaws before medical persons arrive, cover with a dry sterile dressings and a
large, bulky protective covering.
Allied Pinnacle - Kingsgrove Emergency Response Plan 4 The Crescent, Kingsgrove
10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE xlv
◼ Note: Ensure the injured person avoids alcohol or smoking – as either decrease blood flow to
frozen tissue.
2.4 INHALATION EXPOSURE
◼ Move the injured person to fresh air ( if without risk ).
◼ If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration
◼ If breathing is difficult, a qualified first aider / medically qualified person may give oxygen.

ERP – 04: FALL FROM HEIGHT RESCUE
Several control measures are available to protect persons from the risk of falling from a height when carrying out work at that height. In some circumstances, more than 1 control measure may be necessary. The 3 levels of control measures in order of preference are: 1. Erecting a physical barrier 2. Providing personal fall protection 3. Measures to "catch" a person after the person has fallen
A fall arrest system is a system designed to arrest the fall of a person, it consists of a:
• Fall arrest harness connected to a lanyard assembly & attached to a fall arrest static line or an anchorage point where there is a risk of free fall.
• Ladder belt connected to a lanyard of not more than 300mm in length attached to a ladder fall arrest device where there is risk of free fall of not more than 600mm.
If a Fall Occurs
• The person assisting shall contact the Maintenance manager, site manager or call 0-000.
• Make initiate verbal contact with the fall victim as soon as possible to assess consciousness, and to reassure and ask whether the fallen person can “self rescue” providing appropriate equipment is made available to them.
• Call emergency services immediately.
• Time is critical if suspended in a harness. If possible use scissor lift to access the person and take weight off the body from the harness.
• Decide whether “self rescue” is possible considering other factors and assist where possible to remove e.g. are the equipment visibly damaged, entanglement, unconscious, etc.
• Brief the emergency services on arrival of how long the fall victim has been suspended.

ERP – 05: BOMB THREAT
1.0 GENERAL
Bomb threats, and other similar types of threats, may arise from a number of causes.
They may simply be made for harassment purposes, as a diversion, or as a prank.
Alternatively, they may be a part of an extortion attempt (with or without an actual explosive device),
part of the operations of a terrorist group, or an individual’s malicious attempt to inflict injury or
damage.
Threats of this nature are usually made:
1) By telephone to a location
or
2) By telephone through the local police, who may have received the message direct, or who may
be repeating a communication to the press, radio, television or authorities
or
3) by anonymous letter
The threat may be specific or non-specific. In a specific threat the caller is prepared to give detailed
information about the bomb; why it has been placed, when it will explode etc. Non-specific threats are
more common, and typically consist of the caller simply stating a bomb has been placed and hanging
up.
There is no standard response to a bomb threat which will give the best (safest) result in every
situation. Each threat has to be individually evaluated. General principles of bomb threat response
are:
1) To ensure maximum safety of personnel.
2) To protect Company property.
3) To minimise interference with normal production, business etc.
4) To enable an early appreciation of the situation to be made and to arrive at the correct decisions

ERP – 06: COLLISION OF ROAD VEHICLES OR PLANE CRASH EMERGENCY
1.0 GENERAL
Most vehicles on site are trucks coming on site to load or unload product.
It is unlikely that a serious accident involving a transport vehicle or plane crash will occur in the
immediate vicinity of the factory (i.e. onsite). However, a minor collision resulting in product spillage
and fire may occur on the local roads around the factory building. Notwithstanding the nature of the
incident, the immediate objectives after a vehicle incident are to:
◼ Protect life and property
◼ Control and prevent any spillage from spreading
◼ Extinguish any fire if safe and possible
◼ Remove ignition source (to prevent any fuel spills from igniting)
◼ Prevent spilt product from entering drains
◼ Contain spilt product for subsequent removal
◼ Prevent or minimise further spillage
If there is a serious accident or major plane crash, call the emergency services (Police, Fire Brigade,
etc.) allow the Emergency Service Commander to assume traffic control on their arrival. Make all
efforts to stop or divert approaching vehicles, depending on the risk and circumstances. Warn people
to remain at a safe distance, taking into consideration the type and likely flow of liquid and vapour
(e.g. Fuel, acid, liquefied gas) and prevailing climatic conditions. Vehicle safety triangles are to be
used where available.
2.0 PROCEDURE
2.1 INJURIES
1) Check for any injured people and follow the Medical Emergency procedures in this document
2) For plane crash, emergency services would take control of full emergency.
3) Site to evacuate as commanded by wardens and emergency services and advise of any people
unaccounted for.
4) No one from Allied Pinnacle to approach or discuss with media. A communications office will be
appointed to communicate with media and emergency services as required.
5) If required, notify neighbouring properties
6) If fuel is leaking, use the emergency spill kit located at the despatch dock to contain the fuel.
2.2 PROTECTING WATERCOURSE
Make every effort to prevent spilt product from entering drain or watercourses depending on the
extent of the emergency (ie protecting the watercourse following a large scale plane crash would not
be a priority over protecting life and securing the emergency)
The priority actions are:
1) Contain
Allied Pinnacle - Kingsgrove Emergency Response Plan 4 The Crescent, Kingsgrove
10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE liv
2) Minimise spread of the product and preventing water usage, particularly in toxic or bioactive
chemical spills
3) Shut off the stormwater valves.
Prevent hosing down, but the senior fire officer must use his discretion. The senior fire officer’s prime
concern is for public safety, so he must evaluate the potential risks involved in alternative courses of
action. If flammable of combustible liquid is spilled and cannot be prevented from entering drains,
foam can be applied to minimise flammable vapour generation.
Block inlets to drains by using drain covers, dirt, sand, paper, rags, old clothing or similar material.
2.3 INCIDENT LOCATION RESTORATION
After an accident any contamination of the incident location is to be restored as soon as possible.
◼ If a good damage to the road surface, surroundings or drainage systems is made, co-operate
with the local authorities. Clean the road surface of spilled materials or oil to prevent subsequent
accidents from vehicles skidding or sliding on the chemical residue or oil. Notify public utilities,
such as Telecom, electricity supply authority, water board, etc if their property has been damaged
so that they can affect the necessary repairs (e.g. spillage has entered Telstra cable tunnels).
Similarly damage to any signs, notices or hoardings should be made good or those responsible
for them notified of the need for repair.
◼ Assure owners of damaged private property such as houses, fences, gardens, motor cars, boats,
etc that their claims for compensation or repair will be promptly and sympathetically handled but
no acknowledgment of liability should be made. Any employees on the scene should ensure that
the company does, in fact, take appropriate follow-up action promptly.
If land has been polluted by chemicals, flammable/combustible liquids or vehicle oil, it may be
necessary to remove soil and replace it with fresh material to restore the area to its original condition.
Consult FGI Management and any haulage contractor for advice.
2.4 FIRE FIGHTING
If a fire has started (e.g. as a result of ignition of combustible/ flammable materials), extinguish it (if
safe and practicable) using the portable extinguishers (dry powder) from the vehicle or site. Try to limit
the use of water until drains have been effectively covered and spill control is in place. See Procedure
ERP-01.

ERP – 07 INTRUDERS ON SITE
1.0 GENERAL
Allied Pinnacle products may be attractive items and can draw particular attention from certain
elements of the community. Entrance to the site is controlled through remotely operated, locked
gates, however there may be times when intruders could access the site via unmonitored fences. Site
staff should be on the lookout for any suspicious activity by persons or vehicles near the entrances to
the warehouse (both north and south). Note the description and registration number of suspicious
vehicles and/ or persons. Inform the site management personnel and police immediately. Action can
then be taken before a crime is committed.
It is unlikely that civil disorders (like large sporting crowds) will occur due to the reasonably remote
location from residential, sporting or commercial (shops) outlets. Notwithstanding this, disruptive
crowds can cause severe damage and major disruption to business operations, both directly to the
facility and to the infrastructure immediately surrounding the site. It is therefore essential that the site
emergency response contains procedures for coping with civil disturbance.
Examples of civil disturbance include:
◼ Industrial disputes
◼ Unpopular political decisions
◼ Emotional international situations
◼ Demonstrations and marches that get out of control
◼ Clashes of opposing groups (e.g. gangs) that spill over into the site
2.0 PROCEDRUE
The objective of this procedure is to minimise the contact between site staff and intruders and to
ensure the appropriate security forces apprehend the intruders with the minimum impact on the site.
2.1 ARMED HOLD-UP
Staff Involved Directly in the Incident
During an armed hold-up, CO-OPERATION is more important than intervention.
REMEMBER: No amount of money is worth a human life. DON’T BE HEROIC!!!
1) Try to remain calm, control your emotions and avoid any action which may incite violence
2) Obey the intruder’s instructions, do precisely as they say, and nothing more
3) Tell the intruders what you are doing, make no sudden movements
4) Observe as much as possible as to the description of the intruders, including clothing and other
distinguishing features (i.e. voice, accent, movements. Do not stare at the intruders.
5) Do not touch anything which may be handled by the intruders
After the Armed Hold-up, as soon as it is safe to do so…
6) Call for assistance or activate an alarm – Notify the Chief Warden of the incident
7) Give details to the Chief Warden of the incident
Allied Pinnacle - Kingsgrove Emergency Response Plan 4 The Crescent, Kingsgrove
10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE lvi
Chief Warden
1) Telephone Police and say “Allied Pinnacle, at 4 The Crescent, Kingsgrove has been held up”
2) Give your name, telephone number, exact location of the incident, and description of any
person(s) and vehicle(s) involved
3) State clearly if the person(s) were armed and the type of weapon
4) Close the premises completely and do not allow unauthorised people to enter
5) Do not allow any person into the area accessed by the intruders and do not let any personnel
handle objects touched by the intruders
6) Ask any employee witnesses to remain until interviewed by Police or if they insist on leaving ask
for their permission for Police to interview them either at home or a later date
7) Do not discuss with any persons outside the business the goods or valuable stolen
8) Ensure staff or witnesses are provided with any trauma counselling if required
2.2 IDENTIFICATION OF INTRUDERS ON SITE
Where intruders are identified on site, being identification of an armed hold up in progress,
identification of an unfamiliar person wandering around the site (i.e. person who have not signed in at
reception), or identification of vandals, the following procedure should be followed:
All Personnel
1) Immediately notify reception and ascertain whether the possible intruder is a visitor or is
authorised on site, if this cannot be verified, notify the Chief Warden or Section Wardens (who will
locate and notify the Chief Warden)
Chief Warden 1) The Chief Warden will decide on the action to be taken, however it is not recommended that the
intruder(s) be approached, the recommended action is to immediately notify SMP security and
then the Police (0 - 000)
2) Lock all entry and exit gates
3) Attempt to keep intruders in view from a safe distance
4) Write down description of intruders (use the personal description form ERP-06.1)
Note: Do not at any time attempt to confront or arrest intruders. This is not your job!
2.3 CIVIL DISORDER
The procedure below is designed to minimise the danger to personnel and the risk of damage to
assets.
All Personnel
1) Notify the Chief Warden or a Section Warden (who will locate and notify the Chief Warden) as
soon as you notice a civil disorder occurring or about to occur:
