EMERGENCY PROCEDURES PLAN – SITE B

1. Site B PIRMP - EMERGENCY RESPONSE & CONTROL

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The main consideration of Emergency Planning is the protection of people, property and the environment during an emergency situation. This is achieved by developing an emergency plan that implements a system able to respond automatically to any emergency and that leads to the most effective outcome possible under the circumstances. The Plan must be dynamic and interactive, ensuring ongoing relevance to the needs of the facility and all stakeholders by continual monitoring, review and consultation. All of the stages are inter-related and details of the Plan must be continually evaluated and revised as appropriate.

The Vopak Site B Emergency Planning process is based on the following illustration.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES PLAN – SITE BThe critical part of the preparation of the Plan is that it needs to be preceded by careful planning, based on an appreciation of the hazards and understanding of the possible emergency scenarios, their possible impacts and the availability of emergency response resources both internal and external to the facility.

1.2 EMERGENCY ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

The organisational structure during the initial period of an emergency, and for the particular internal or external alert is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Emergency Organisation Structure

The Emergency Controller will be the first available person, as shown on the "List of Authorised Company Personnel for Emergency Controller and TEMO (Emergency Coordinator)" (refer Error: Reference source not found). The TEMO will be the second available person, as shown on the list.



EMERGENCY PROCEDURES PLAN – SITE BThe following sections describe the duties and responsibilities of Company Personnel involved in an Emergency at this site.

1.3 PERSONNEL RESPONSIBILITIES

1.3.1Emergency Controller

This function is to operate at the site of the emergency to coordinate and provide information and assistance to the Emergency Services at the scene of the emergency and to respond to the emergency.

The Emergency Controller will be the first available Site B Operator until relieved by a more senior person.

The Emergency Controller will make certain at all times that the appropriate number of people are used during an emergency, and that only those people with a functional role of the emergency are at the scene of the emergency.

The magnitude of the emergency may require the setting up of the Port Botany Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) and activating the Port Botany Emergency Plan. The EOC location will be determined by NSW Ports. This action is decided by the Incident Controller or head of the attending Emergency Agency. If EOC is established, the Emergency Controller must report to the Emergency Operations Centre.

Duties & Responsibilities:

1) Obtain two-way radio, obtain and wear Emergency Controller’s safety helmet and vest for easy recognition. (Note: Two sets of safety helmets and vests are kept at each of the following locations:

Control Room Site B Fire Pump house Site B

2) Establish as quickly as possible radio contact with the TEMO (TEMO), remain at Site B and account for any personnel on site, in particular those in the affected area.

3) Set up emergency control centre in the:-

CONTROL ROOM (Site B) OR AS CIRCUMSTANCES DICTATE

4) Take action as required emergency resources and personnel as per the “List of Authorised Company Personnel for the Emergency Controller and TEMO”.

5) Upon the arrival of the Emergency Services, the Emergency Controller must brief the Officer-in-charge with the following information:



EMERGENCY PROCEDURES PLAN – SITE B location and type of emergency details of personnel injured or trapped action taken to date location of all personnel on site details of product involved (eg MSDS etc) any other relevant information

6) The Emergency Controller will then hand over the responsibilities of directing the emergency operations to the Officer-in-charge of the relevant Emergency Service and offer whatever assistance may be required. At this stage, the Port Botany Emergency Plan is activated at the discretion of the head of Emergency Agency in consultation with the Terminal Emergency Controller.

7) Determine the magnitude of the Emergency and liaise with the TEMO for assistance, as required.

8) Keep TEMO informed of the emergency status.

9) When additional personnel and equipment are available, deploy as necessary.

10) Decide whether to cancel alarm if conditions warrant a cancellation.

11) Decide on the requirements for evacuation of affected area, the entire site and/or from the Port Botany area.

12) Liaise with the TEMO on release of personnel and equipment during termination stage.

13) Following an emergency, after consultation with the TEMO, emergency services and authorities as appropriate, that the emergency situation has now ceased and the terminal has been deemed safe to handover back to operations.

14) Return to normal operations must be notified using Site radio, and PBERS.

15) Allocate personnel if required to do so by an Authority to assist cleaning or containing waste residue resultant from an emergency.

16) At completion of the emergency, hold debriefing meeting, review the emergency, raise an incident notification, and minute all proceedings.

17) Set up a recovery strategy in line with the Port Botany Emergency Plan if necessary.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES PLAN – SITE B1.3.3First Aid Attendant

The health and safety of personnel, and provision of First Aid to the injured, is of prime importance. All efforts should be directed to caring for the injured.

The TEMO will designate an Emergency First Aid Area(s) where injured persons shall be treated if practicable. This area may, or may not, be the SITE B CONTROL ROOM BUILDING, depending on the situation.

1) The Emergency Controller will arrange for the injured to be sent to the Emergency First Aid Area(s).

2) The provision of First Aid will be one of the following, depending on the seriousness of the injury:

a) MINOR - render the proper First Aid and, if practical, return the person to work. If not practical, allow recuperation time at the Emergency First Aid Area.

b) OTHER - injuries requiring professional medical treatment. The TEMO to arrange to have the injured person taken to: Prince of Wales Hospital, High Street, Randwick.

The TEMO will arrange immediate access of the ambulance to SITE B and have it directed to the proper location. Company vehicles may be used in place of an ambulance if the TEMO makes a judgement that it may be quicker, and the injury allows transport by car. The TEMO will arrange transport.

NOTE: The names of any casualties that occur during an emergency must remain confidential.

1.3.4Terminal Emergency Teams

The Terminal Emergency Teams, or Hose Teams, shall be made up of Vopak Staff and Operators as designated at the time of the emergency by the Emergency Controller.


Under the direction of the Emergency Controller, provide all assistance necessary to control, reduce or stop the cause of the emergency, and to minimise any secondary damage which may propagate the incident. Where necessary, and if safe to do so, carry out search and rescue operations for persons unaccounted for.



EMERGENCY PROCEDURES PLAN – SITE B1.3.5Emergency Operations Centre (EOC)

The magnitude of the emergency may require the setting up of the Port Botany Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) and activating the Port Botany Emergency Plan. The location of the EOC is determined by NSW Ports .This action is decided by the Police Site Controller or head of a Emergency Agency. If so, the TEMO must report to the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC).

1.4 PROCEDURES

The Vopak Site B Emergency Planning process is designed to identify all hazards, which will reasonably be expected to initiate, or contribute to, an emergency. This process involved identifying hazards of several different types:-

hazards arising from the Dangerous Goods (generally Class 3) stored in the facility

hazards arising from activities or equipment associated with the facility (Loss of Containment (LOC), plant, machinery, transport, electrical), and

natural hazards that Vopak have identified as credible events (HIGH WINDS, EARTHQUAKE, ELECTRICAL STORMS, TSUMANI, STORM SURGE or VERY HIGH RAINFALL) that could impact upon the safe operation of the facility.

Each development stage of Vopak Site B has included a range of Safety Studies:-

Preliminary Hazard Analysis HAZOP Final Hazard Analysis Fire Safety Study

In addition to these safety studies a MHF Safety Report has been developed which identifies potential major accidents (MA’s).

Figure 3: Site B Pipeline Corridor Emergency


EMERGENCY PROCEDURES PLAN – SITE B1.4.1.4 Spillage Control Plan

Product spillages or leakages could occur from:

Product Pipelines Storage Tanks Transfer Manifold/Hoses Road Tankers Slops Tanks Collision of on-site vehicles Ships (during discharging / loading operations)

The spillage or leakage may well occur without an actual fire risk being present.

The majority of the products stored in the Site B Terminal are generally: Flammable i.e. Class 3 with the remainder being Combustible C1 or C2.

It is imperative to ascertain the actual product involved in a spillage or leakage incident as quickly as possible in order to verify if a fire risk is present. This information is critical in deciding which of the following action plans must be put into place.

For spillages or leakage with HIGH fire risk refer Figure 4.

For spillages or leakage with LOW fire risk refer Figure 5.

For large spills of flammable product, an assessment must be made of the extent of the flammable vapour cloud that will be present. Wind direction is an important consideration to determine the potential spread of the vapour cloud. If there is potential for the vapour cloud to extend beyond the hazardous area, every attempt must be made to eliminate all ignition sources from the area. This may include notifying the NSW Ports to eliminate vehicle traffic on neighbouring roads, or not starting equipment (including fire pumps) that may be an ignition source.

In the event a large spill occurs into a bund where tanks are empty (with closed doors) or low level (below 4 metres). Action will be required to be taken to conduct emergency filling of empty or low level tanks to a level of at least 4 metres to prevent the tank(s) from floating.

NOTE: In the event ESD where Level Switch High High (LSHH) trip has occurred plant air will be disabled and not available until the LSHH is cleared. Therefore this will require the Operator to manually open actuated valves if required.



EMERGENCY PROCEDURES PLAN – SITE BGenerally, if a spillage occurs on the ship as a result of the ship’s operations the Vopak Emergency procedures Plan calls for the cessation of operations, valve closures and assembly of wharf personnel to await instructions. The Port Botany Emergency Plan would also be initiated.

Decontamination Procedure

The following sets out the procedure to contain and decontaminate areas that have been affected by a loss of containment.

If contamination of sewers or waterways has occurred advise local emergency services.

Contain the spill using sand or soil – prevent run off into drains and waterways.

Do not allow vapour or liquid to collect and remain in hollows or sumps.

If appropriate cover with foam to reduce vapour.

Use an appropriate absorbent (located with the spill kit – refer to MSDS if necessary).

Collect spilt material with clean non-sparking tools and seal in properly labeled drums for disposal using approved waste removal procedures.

Wash down area with excess water.

Always wear appropriate protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contact and breathing vapours as per the MSDS.

1.4.1.10 MOTOR VEHICLE – USE DURING AN EMERGENCY

Motorised vehicles must be controlled so they do not become involved in any major accidents. At the time of an accident, all staff are to be made aware that vehicles, wherever possible must not be used in an emergency. If this is not possible then great caution must be exhibited during their use.

1.4.2Specific Emergency Scenario Plans

1.4.2.1 GENERAL

This section provides additional information for managing specific types of emergencies resulting from major accidents identified as part of the MHF Safety Case report. Refer to Error: Reference source not found for specific emergency scenario plans.

1.4.2.2 ROAD TANKER GANTRY FIRE

The Terminal has a six (6) bay road tanker loading gantry. Filling of road tankers is by driver loading with computer control and monitoring.



EMERGENCY PROCEDURES PLAN – SITE BThe potential hazards identified that could lead to an Emergency are:-

spillage caused by leakage/failure of equipment road tanker drive-away incident whilst still connected

A fire in any of these loading gantries will automatically:- Trigger infra-red fire alarms monitoring each loading bay Initiate fixed foam system over all of the road tanker bays alarm (computer & audible) in the Control room Initiate shutdown all operations ie. stop transfer pumps and close all

actuated valves Call NSW Fire Brigade

An Emergency such as the above would be managed on the basis of:

Figure 4 Spillage or leakage with fire risk

Key Action Points:

Call Site B Control Room Operator and advise Ensure Fire Brigade alarm activated Check control room Scada computer to ensure full terminal shutdown has

occurred Ensure main access gates are open If road tanker(s) in gantries – check for whereabouts of drivers (if safe to

do so) pump spill to slop tank Ensure final outlet valve in stormwater interceptor pit is closed

1.4.2.3 Spillage Of Flammable Material To Bund

This event could be caused by:

major tank failure pipe failure tank overfilling tank drain valve left open tank sampling valve left open

An Emergency such as the above would be managed on the basis of:

Figure 4 Spillage or leakage with fire risk



EMERGENCY PROCEDURES PLAN – SITE BKey Action Points:

Raise alarm Plant ESD activated – all valves closed Prepare portable foam monitors/hoses ready for activation to cover bund

floor/sum pit areas Prepare connections at slop tank manifold area to allow affected bund

area to be emptied (by in-ground sump pump) to another (tank bund) area – await confirmation from TEMO before activating sump pump(s).

1.4.2.4 Transfer Pump Fire

Each bulk storage tank has a transfer pump located just outside the bund area. These pump locations are concrete floored bunds with roofing (to minimise rainwater ingress). Spillage collection is provided in each of these areas by a drainage connection leading to the underground tank T2801 (located adjacent to the Waste Water Treatment Plant).

A pump seal failure would initiate a spillage and/or a fire within this area.

Key Action Points:

Initiate fire alarm (stops pumps and closes all tank valves, calls fire brigade)

Advise Site B Control Room by radio Prepare hoses and portable monitor Cool pump and pipework with water fog if fire is large and impinges on

pump/pipework Use foam application to pump and pump slab bund floor if fire is small or a

spillage only Ensure fire water/foam is contained on site by closing final outlet valve on

stormwater interceptor pit

1.4.2.5 Jet Fuel or CTP Pipeline Transfer Emergency Key Action Points

Advise Caltex OMC & JUHI by direct Landline Telephone Activate Jet Fuel ESD (this system stops all equipment and closes all

valves associated with transfer operation) Activate CTP ESD (this system stops all equipment and closes all valves

associated with this transfer operation)



EMERGENCY PROCEDURES PLAN – SITE B Depending on circumstances and location of the emergency, a terminal

ESD may be required (which will shut down all Site B Terminal Operations, including Shipping Operations)
