1. PREAMBLE & INTRODUCTION

PREAMBLE

The need to prepare an ON-SITE EMERGENCY PLAN (OEP)

for dealing with incidences which may still occur and are
likely to affect HEALTH, SAFETY, LIFE, PROPERTY and
ENVIRONMENT both at site and in the immediate
neighborhood. An On-site Emergency Plan is essential to
mitigate and localize the effects of a major accident /
emergency.

INTRODUCTION

This On-Site Emergency Plan (OEP) explains the code of

conduct of all personnel at site & supporting cell at Head Office
along with the actions to be carried out in the event of an
emergency.

This plan is guideline for employees, contractors,

transporters, etc. It not only defines responsibilities, but also
informs about prompt rescue operations, medical treatment, co-
ordination and communication among various team members. The
OEP is prepared to give clear instructions to concerned team
members to avoid any confusion, panic during emergency at site.

8.2 FIRE / EXPLOSION

INTRODUCTION:
Fire hazard is divided in to two broad categories.
a. WTG related fire
b. Other than WTG fire

We have considered chances of emergency due to electrical

fire in WTG. It may start from electrical panels / cables kept at
nacelle & control rooms

Fires other than WTG are may be due to storage of flammable

chemicals like oils, HSD, petrol, thinner, kerosene, LPG cylinders,
etc. at stores, CMS yards, etc. also fire due to other reasons at

LPG FIRE

INTRODUCTION:
LPG has a wide explosive range. Even a small leakage of LPG,
on contact with a spark, can lead to an explosion. The manner in
which an LPG cylinder may burn depends upon the location, size of
the leak and the pressure within the cylinder.

IMPORTANT PROPERTIES OF LPG:

Color - Colorless

27
 Doc No. RPSAD03

EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Rev 01

Date 01-JUL-2023

Odor - Original LPG is odor less. Mecapten is

added in to it for leak detection which
gives garlic smell.
Physical state - Gas
Flammable limit in air - 1.9 % - 9.5 % (by volume)

SAFE STORAGE AND HANDLING PRACTICES

1. Cylinders should be stored and handled in upright position.

2. Cylinders should be stored under cover to protect them against

direct rays of the sun.

3. Empty cylinder should be marked and stored separately.

4. Valve protection caps should always remain in place before and

after the use of cylinders.

5. Identify leaks in cylinders and fittings by application of soap

solution.

6. Cylinders with damaged valves should immediately be labeled

appropriately and returned to the supplier.

7. Persons affected by exposure to LPG should be removed to fresh

air and kept warm.

8. Check pipelines, valves, and manifolds regularly for leakage.

9. Paint gas manifold, pipes regularly as per standard color-coding.

10. Use of gas bank is a safe practice.

11. Never use more than one big burner on one cylinder.

28
 Doc No. RPSAD03

EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Rev 01

Date 01-JUL-2023

HANDLING FIRE SITUATIONS

2. DO NOT OPERATE ANY ELECTRICAL SWITCH.

3. Turn the valve ‘OFF’

4. Shift cylinder to open air.

5. Keep away source of ignition. Stop vehicle movement in that

area.

6. Put plastic cap on valve. Plastic protection cap can stop leakage
of the valve.
7. If a small flame is seen on the cylinder, then extinguish it with

the help of Dry Chemical Powder (DCP) cylinder, CO 2 cylinder or

a fire hose from a safe distance.

8. Use glove, heavy cloth or wet material to extinguish the fire.
9. In case of gas bank, close the main valve.

8.5 SNAKE BITE EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURE

32
 Doc No. RPSAD03

EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Rev 01

Date 01-JUL-2023

 Don’t panic & don’t run. Be calm:

The majority of snake bites are not venomous, but because patients go into a
state of panic they put themselves at risk of severe danger. Panicking also
increases the heart rate and would circulate the venom faster in the body.

 Don’t pick up the bitted snakes:

Don’t pick up the snake or kill it, as this will increase your chance of getting
bitten again. Even dead snakes can bite.

 Take a photo of the snake for identification (if possible):

Take a photograph of the snake from a safe distance if possible. Identifying

the snake can help with treatment of the snakebite. But don’t waste your time
to take photos of the snake.

 Provide First aid treatment:

 Remove rings and watches before swelling starts.

 Wash the bite with soap and water.
 Cover the bite with a clean, dry dressing bandage (Not too tight).
 Do not apply a tourniquet or tight bandages for stopping the flow of
blood through a vein. Because it leads to venomous blood in a
particular body part and results in the loss of that body part.
 Do not try to suck out the venom. Because it’s dangerous to venom
suckers also and not suggested from safety department.
 Don’t cut the bitted wound with knife. Because the wound get infected
and make the treatment at hospital more complicated.
 Don’t allow the victim to eat or drink anything. Do not take pain relief
medicine also.
 Keep the area of the bite below the heart in order to slow the spread of
venom through the bloodstream.

 Go to nearby Government Hospital by Emergency vehicle:

Immediately go to nearby government hospital by emergency vehicle with the

help of assistance for snake bite treatment. Because each and every snake
bite will have been treated with separate anti-venom which is available only at
Government hospital.
