CONTINGENCY AND EMERGENCY PLAN

I. GENERAL FACILITY INFORMATION

HVS Building is a 3-storey commercial building with a total of five tenants

occupying the edifice.

INTENT AND PURPOSE

The following Emergency Response Contingency Plan has been prepared for HVS
Building . The purpose of this plan is to protect the safety and welfare of the tenants
and the community in the event of an emergency response incident and to comply in
every way with laws pertaining to hazardous waste facility operations with respect to
preparedness and prevention of emergency events.

The Emergency Response Contingency Plan is intended as a guide of emergency

procedures in the event of hazardous material/waste spill or release. Internal
procedure as well as mutual aid and external arrangements are part of this contingency
plan. Everybody is likely to be involved in its implementation and control . This plan
is not intended to replace judgment. The person encountering a situation which
threatens life or property may be required to decide appropriate immediate actions.
Life must be protected before property in these instances

Only trained personnel are to be used to respond to an emergency condition.

LIST OF POTENTIAL EMERGENCIES AND SCENARIOS

An emergency is any condition which results in the increase in potential for loss to the
company and/or individuals. Emergency conditions may be caused by natural forces,
equipment malfunctions, or operator error, including breakdown in communications
and deviation from standard operating procedures.

i. Fire or Explosion

Any fire or explosion will be considered an emergency condition. A fire or explosion

which occurs close enough to a pipeline or terminal facility that threatens the facility
is considered an emergency situation.

ii. Accidental Spills and/or Leaks

Any release of hazardous vapors or liquids in sufficient quantities to pose a threat to
personnel, public, property, or the environment will be considered an emergency
situation.

iii. Natural Disasters

Natural disasters such as typhoons which could affect the safe operation of the
establishment/firm will be considered an emergency situation. Acts of sabotage or
threats of sabotage (such as bomb threats) will be considered an emergency situation.

SPECIFIC PROCEDURE FOR RESPONDING TO SPILLS OR CHEMICAL

RELEASES

i. Type of emergencies

Fuel, Oil or Chemicals Spill

ii. Scenario

In the event of a fuel, oil, or chemicals spill the following steps should apply:

1. Identify the substance spilled and refer to MSDS for appropriate safety procedures.

2. Conduct a hazard assessment and implement controls.

3. Minimize and safely contain spill.

4. Alarm others if lives are in danger

5. Immediately notify PCO.

Notification Procedure (including notification to communities in case the

scenarios involves having the spills migrating outside the boundary of the
facility)

This section of the plan contains procedures for receiving, identifying and classifying
notices of events which need immediate response and communicating this information
for corrective action.

The ICS is an organized approach to effectively control and manage operations at an

emergency incident. The PCO will act as the Incident Commander in charge of the
ICS. Based on the conditions present, the Incident Commander will implement
appropriate emergency operations and activate appropriate ICS positions.
Upon notification of a spill, the Incident Commander will be directing and
administering incident control, containment, and cleanup operations; coordinating
with the appropriate governmental and regulatory officials; and handling inquiries and
claims. He will also notify the Local agencies.

The initial Incident Commander will make immediate notice to the local fire
department if a release causes potential for a fire or explosion hazard.

Environmental Management Bureau shall be contacted at the earliest practical

moment following the discovery of a hazardous liquid release that results in pollution
of any stream, river, lake, reservoir, or other similar body of water that violated
applicable water quality standards, caused a discoloration of the surface of the water
or adjoining shoreline, or deposited a sludge or emulsion beneath the surface of the
water or upon adjoining shorelines.

INCIDENT COMMANDER RESPONSIBILITIES:

1. Activate internal alarms and hazard communications systems to notify facility

personnel.

2. Notify local fire department, if necessary.

3. In consultation with the Qualified Individual, activate contract personnel, for

immediate response.

4. Identify the character, exact source, amount, and extent of the release, as well as the
other items required on the Emergency Response Report Form.

5. In consultation with the Safety Officer, assess the interaction of a released

substance with water and/or other substances stored at the terminal and notify
response personnel of specific precautions.

6. In consultation with the Safety Officer, assess the possible hazards to human health
and the environment due to the emergency. This assessment must consider both direct
and indirect effects of the release (i.e. the effects of any flammable, toxic, irritating or
asphyxiating gasses that may be generated or the effects of any hazardous surface
water runoff from water used to control fires and heat-induced explosions).

7. Assess and implement prompt removal actions to contain and remove substance
released.
STEP BY STEP PROCESS TO CONTAIN AND CONFINE THE SPILLS

SPEED COUNTS! Limit the spill area by blocking, diverting or confining the spill.
Use contained absorbents such as socks and booms as found in our spill kits. STOP
the flow of the liquid before it has a chance to contaminate a water source. Spill kits
are designed to facilitate a quick, effective response.

After the spill is confined, stop the source of the spill. This may simply involve
turning a container upright or plugging a leak from a damaged drum or container.
Products like the Repair Putty as well as barrel patches and cone plugs are effective at
stopping leaks. Transfer liquids from the damaged container to a new one.

Response equipment

Clean up Materials and Tools

1. Spill pads, absorbent materials (warehouse, trucks).

2. Shovels.

3. Sand, dirt etc.

4. Personnel.

5. Pails, tarpaulins, barrels

6. Safety gloves and goggles

DECONTAMINATION PROCESS

Once the spill is confined and the leak has been stopped, it is time to re-assess the
incident and develop a plan of action for implementing the spill clean-up. Pillows and
mat pads are commonly used to absorb the remainder of the spill. Simply place the
pillows and pads throughout the spill area. Unused absorbents are not hazardous.
However, once the absorbents are saturated with oils, solvents etc. they may be
considered hazardous waste and must be disposed of properly.

Decontaminate the site, personnel and equipment by removing or neutralizing the

hazardous materials that have accumulated during the spill. This may involve
removing and disposing of contaminated media such as soil that was exposed during
the spill incident. An effective decontamination area ensures the health and safety of
emergency responders.

Waste Handling

1. If unsure of waste disposal requirements, ask.

2. Remove waste material from spill site only with consent of supervisor.

3. Documentation is required for removal of waste by the Person-in-Charge of the

spill (oil, fuel or chemicals are not domestic waste).

4. If using barrels for storage of waste ensure barrels are empty and bungs are in.

5. Clearly mark the barrel or container of what residue or waste is inside.

6. Once spilled material is cleaned up they will be disposed of at an approved waste

facility.
