OISD publications are prepared for use in the oil and gas
industry under Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas. These are the
property of Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas and shall not be
reproduced or copied and loaned or exhibited to others without
written consent from OISD.
The Oil Industry in India is more than 100 years old. Because of various
collaboration agreements, a variety of international codes, standards and practices have been
in vogue. Standardisation in design philosophies, operating and maintenance practices at a
national level was hardly in existence. This coupled with feed back from some serious
accidents that occurred in the recent past in India and abroad emphasized the need for the
Industry to review the existing state of art in designing, operating and maintaining Oil and Gas
Installations.
With this in view, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas in 1986 constituted a Safety
Council assisted by an Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD) staffed from within the Industry
in formulating and implementing a series of self regulatory measures and aimed at removing
obsolescence, standardizing and updating the existing standards to ensure safer operations.
Accordingly, OISD constituted a number of Functional Committees of Experts nominated from
the Industry to draw up standards and guidelines on various subjects.
The present document, " Guidelines on Emergency Preparedness Plan" (EPP) for
Terminals, LPG bottling plants, Gas Processing Plants, Installations, Depots and
Aviation Stations within the Marketing Outfits of the Oil Industry was prepared by the
Functional Committee to deal with Emergency Control Measures and Preparedness under
Section 41 b(4) of the Factories Act, 1948(amended in 1987) and Rule 13 of Manufacture,
Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemical Rules 1989 (Amended in 1994). This document is
based on the accumulated knowledge and experience of Industry members and the various
National and International practices.
When it comes to the Marketing Outfits, comparisons are odious and each location is
a class by itself and each location will have to endeavour to put this document into practice
duly taking into consideration the environment in which they are placed and perfect the
Emergency Preparedness Plan by regular mock exercises.
It is hoped that the provisions of this document when adopted will go a long way to
improve the alacrity of every location to handle unforeseen accidents in the Oil Industry.
Users of these guidelines are cautioned that no standard can be a substitute for the people to
go through and live through a Emergency Preparedness Plan in order to perfect the same for
all situations. This standard in no way supersedes the statutory regulations of Controller of
Explosives, Factories Act, 1948 (as amended in 1987) or Hazardous Chemicals Rules, 1989
(as amended in 1994) or any other statutory regulations by Central Government or State
Government. Only one Emergency Preparedness Plan shall be prepared and if any other format
is made available by State/Central Government authorities, the EPP shall be prepared in such
format.
This document will be reviewed periodically for improvements based on the new
experiences and better understanding. Suggestions from industry members may be addressed
