Natural calamities and man-made threats are beyond the control of Management. A need was
felt to draw a contingency plan to overcome any type of disaster which may occur within
the arena of Powai Campus. This plan has been developed as part of our Organisations
Disaster Management Plan, is a document which can be referred during any probable
emergency which can prevail in context of uncertainties in day to day life. The
Organisation has always placed public safety as a top priority. In response to the
intermittent disaster, we thoroughly reviewed all measures necessary to ensure the
safety and security of our clients. As we have demonstrated since then, the
Organisation has a sound emergency response/disaster management action plan.

Preamble:
Larsen & Toubro Limited, Powai Campus is situated at village Tungarli, Powai, Mumbai 400 072
on land approx. 95 acres. It is divided in 2 distinct parts viz. Powai West and Powai East,
having Saki Vihar Road in between the two estates. Other units i.e. L&T Infotech & L&T
Business Park are also part of the campus.
The manufacturing activities at campus include mechanical fabrication for heat exchangers &
other equipment required for captive projects like Petrochemicals, Fertilizers, Defence, Low
voltage Switchgear products, under carriage parts, welding rods & Software services.
The total manpower strength at any given time during day is around 10,000 which include
employees, Contract labour & visitors. The estate is divided with 8 entrance points having
gates serially numbered from Gate Zero to Gate 7 except Gate No.4.
1.1 Purpose
This plan describes how LTR will respond effectively to accidents/unexpected incidents and
emergencies/disasters and that the environmental, health and safety impacts of such events
are minimised. Furthermore it describes LTR’s operational capability that enables LTR to
continue to function in relation to its business lines.
The plan documents LTR’s arrangements, systems, strategies and procedures relating to the
response and management of emergencies. The LTR Emergency Preparedness & Disaster
Management Plan has two primary goals: to reduce the likelihood that the office/site/project
building will experience disaster and to mitigate the impact of any disasters that do occur.
1.2 Definition
1.2.1. Emergency
An emergency is an abnormal incident posing a threat to the safety of workers, residents, the
environment or property at a facility or site and which can be brought under control using the
resources and procedures for emergency response in place for the facility or site.
This involves the development of a specific plan which details actions to be taken by trained
personnel during an emergency in an effort to efficiently control it and minimize its net

negative impact on workers, residents, the environment or property at a facility or site. This
type of planning also extends to developing emergency control strategies and instituting
training and drills for all facility personnel.
The location where the SMC/SIC and support staff assemble to respond to an emergency. It is
a centralized location for monitoring the facility response and also serves as a command centre
for coordinating all communications, including the allocation and distribution of information.
1.2.5. Disaster
A catastrophe, mishap, calamity or grave occurrence in any area, arising from the following;
Natural Causes
Manmade Causes or by
Incidental Causes or
Negligence
These causes may result in substantial loss of life or human suffering or damage to and
destruction of Office Building or damage to and degradation of environment and is of such a
nature or magnitude as to be beyond the coping capacity of the affected area.
It is the consequence of a natural hazard which affects the human activities. Human
vulnerability, exacerbated lack of planning or lack of appropriate emergency management,
may lead to loss in financial, environmental or human aspects. The various types of natural
disasters to occur in Mumbai are as follows:
Earthquake
Floods
Storm/Cyclones
Flash Floods
Man-made disasters are the events that occur due to some incidental or accidental mishandling
of mankind or equipment. This may lead to a severe threat on the wellbeing and also affect the
public health. As there occurrence is uncertain and unpredictable, it poses a challenging threat
that must be dealt with through vigilance, and proper preparedness and response. Following
are the types of manmade disasters prone to occur in Mumbai:
Building Collapse
Fire
Terrorist Activities (Bomb Threat, Sabotage)
Riot – civil disturbance

The nature of disaster management is highly dependent on the economic and social conditions
pertain. The cycle of disaster management must include long-term work on infrastructure,
public awareness, and even human justice issues.
The process of disaster management involves four phases: mitigation, preparedness, response,
and recovery.
A systematic approach begins with the identification of potential disaster. After the
identification is complete, policies have to be laid and the mechanics of disaster management
operations have to be worked out. In short, planning of disaster management can be
summarized as follows:
The organizational structure refers to the command and control structure of the Office Building
Management which is a major part and essential for an effective Disaster Management Plan
(DMP).
The constituents of the above committee shall form sub committees in their area to assist the
Central committee members. As shown in the organisation structure of the committee in
Annexure.
5.4.2.1. Fire:
Corporate EHS (Environment Health & Safety) Dept. have three Safety Officers to assist
security in case of emergency. This staff is also supported by Squad Members from different
shops available in all 3 shifts. In the L&T Business Park/Site we have BMS room and ECR being
watched in shift 24 x 7 along with site controllers, fire marshal/warden and technical specialists
to counter any emergencies.

Firefighting etc. They have acquired knowledge in disaster management and are well trained
to act in case of disaster and can contribute effectively.
In addition PSS has a good liaison with Powai Police Station. This will come handy in an
emergency situation like bomb blast, terrorist attack/threat etc. PSS also maintains co-ordeal
relations with neighboring industries & Commercial establishments. The resources available at
their end can also be utilized to fight any emergency with proper sharing arrangement.

Scope
1. This SOP is for evacuation of all personnel from LTR Building Office, Powai
Projects/Sites and all vehicles from the compound. Its purpose is to provide the
essential guidelines to the employees for the safe and efficient evacuation from Office
building/Projects/site premises.
2. This is to be read in conjunction with the SOPs on Fire Fighting, Earthquake and Medical
Aid.
3. The need for evacuation could arise due to any one or more of the following:-
(a) Fire
(b) Natural Disaster.
(c) Man-made Disaster.
(d) Requirement of the Management.
4. The intensity of the incident could be local, marginal, high. Also the measures to be
taken and the decision & procedures of evacuation depends on the intensity of the
incident. This decision lies with the Building manager at the time of the incident within
the guidelines of this SOP. This has to be done in consultation with the Security and
fire-fighting authorities.
5. The incident may take place any time, during the operational or the non-operational
hours. The actions listed in this SOP will apply for both the contingencies. However, in
certain situations, actions will have to be taken using the ingenuity of the personnel
present.
6. The incident could come to notice as a result of one or more of the following reasons
and the reporting action will be taken as follows :-
(a) The magnitude of the incident being so large, for instance an earthquake or an
explosion, that everyone becomes aware of it immediately.
(b) The incident is localised initially that it is noticed by one or more of the
employees, tenants, visitors or customers. The incident would invariably be
intimated to the closest security supervisor/guard on duty.
(c) The incident, say, a fire, has been noticed by the person on duty in the BMS
Control Room, either due to the sounding of the alarm or noticed on the CCTV
monitor.
(d) During normal working hours the Chief Controller shall be available in
Emergency Control room & he or Dy. Chief Controller shall give directions to all
EHS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Doc. No.: LTR/EMS/DMP/PE

Crisis /DISASTER MANAGEMENT
other committee members based on the information received from the site
controller.
Note: The reporting hierarchy for different shifts and contingencies and their telephone
numbers, in addition to the telephones numbers of important agencies, i.e., the
Police Station, the Fire Station and the Hospital(s) should be displayed
prominently in the BMS Room with names.
7. Declaring Emergency:
In case of any such major hazards, which is likely to cause extensive damage to
property or human life, the Chief Controller shall communicate through the various
communication channels like blowing of siren, Telecommunication, Public Address
System available with him and make the employees aware of the situation and give
instruction / direction what is expected from them and instruct them to evacuate /
assemble at designated assembly point.
Raising an Alarm
8. The need to raise a general or a localised alarm will be decided by the BMS/ECR
Manager/Site Controller. The alarm could be raised in (one or more of) the following
manners:-
(a) Manual Calling: Though this is an available option, it should be resorted only if
other options are not available. Since the voice is not likely to be audible in the
ensuing chaos and multiple manual callings will create confusion.
(b) Flashing of Exit Beacons: If the provision exists, however, this will be
supplemented by announcements on the Public Address System.
(c) Public Address System: Rising of the alarm over the Public Address System
should be preceded by the word “Attention” twice before conveying the
instructions for evacuation. These instructions could be issued across the entire
building/site or to selective zones/areas, as instructed by the BMS centre
Manager / Chief Security Officer. At the sounding of the alarm, all
employees, who are not at their duty stations but present in the
Building/site, should report immediately to the BMS/ECR.
Necessity of Evacuation
9. The requirement to evacuate the building premises or otherwise will be decided by the
BMS/Site Controller / Chief Security Officer, preferably after consultation with the police
and the fire-fighting authorities. Further actions will be dictated by this decision.
10. The Evacuation “Assembly Point” will be signposted using a standard 4 feet X 3 feet
sign, mounted on a post of 6 feet height, at the pre-determined location. The lettering
on the sign will read “Evacuation Assembly Point” both, in English and the local
vernacular in blocks. The size of the lettering will be minimum 5 inches X 3 inches and
will be painted in white over a blue background. An alternate Evacuation Assembly Point
will be decided and mentioned in this SOP. (Location of the Evacuation Assembly Point
and the alternate Evacuation Assembly Point is marked on the Evacuation Plan). The

Objective
1. The main objective of this SOP is to establish a procedure for handling the incident of
an earthquake if it strikes building/Project/site.
2. The objective is also to ensure that no harm or injury is caused to any customer,
visitor, tenant or employee as a result of the earthquake or actions that may be
initiated consequent to the incident of earthquake.
3. This will be read in conjunction with the SOPs on Fire-Fighting, Medical Aid and
Evacuation.
Policy
4. To ensure that the procedure is simple, clear and easy to follow to enable continuous
training of all concerned persons and effective handling of the incident if it occurs.
Definition of an Earthquake
6. An earthquake is the sudden violent movement of the earth's surface due to the
release of energy in the earth's crust. Earthquake is a perceptive movement of
the earth’s surface. The movement of one rock mass or plate against another
causes vibration that shakes a part of the earth’s crust and all structures resting
on it. Earthquake is the greatest destroyer of manmade buildings, bridges,
power plants and industrial structure etc.
6. According to the Seismic Zone Map of India identified in the UEVRP, areas which have
population exceeding half a million in earthquake Zones III, IV, V are as follows:-
(a) Zone III :- Ghaziabad, Ahmedabad, Vadodhara, Rajkot, Bhavnagar, Surat,
Mumbai, Agra, Bhiwandi, Nashik, Kanpur, Bhubneshwar, Cuttack, Asansol,
Kochi, Kolkata, Varanasi, Bareilly, Lucknow, Indore, Jabalpur, Vijayawada,
Dhanwad, Chennai, Coimbatore, Mangalore, Kozhikode,Trivandrum.
(b) Zone IV: - Dehradun, New Delhi, Jamunanagar, Patna, Meerut, Jammu,
Chandigarh, Amritsar, Jalandhar.
(c) Zone V: - Guwahati and Srinagar.
Pre-Earthquake Preparations
7. While an earthquake will strike without any notice or warning, certain pre-earthquake
preparations can go a long way in mitigating the post incident losses and damages.
These are as follows :-
EHS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Doc. No.: LTR/EMS/DMP/PE
Rev No. :
Rev Date:
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND Page No.: 58 Of 74
Crisis /DISASTER MANAGEMENT
Responsibility
8. The BMS Manager/Site Controller will be responsible for handling the incident of an
earthquake for which he/she will be assisted by the Chief Security Officer/Chief
Controller, and their teams. In case the BMS Manager/Site Controller is not available,
the person who has been nominated as the next in hierarchy will supervise and handle
the incident. Clear hierarchy for reporting, controlling and handling the
disaster/emergency for each contingency should be laid down and made
known to every employee/client and tenant of the Building.
10. As is evident, there will be no typical reporting procedure when an earthquake strikes
the property since it would happen without affording any reaction time to anyone. It is,
therefore, imperative that all the employees and occupants are thoroughly conversant
with the relevant drills and procedures and his/her role in them.
11. The earthquake may strike during the ‘on’ or ‘off’ hours of the Building. While the
handling of the incident during ‘off ’ hours will require minimum effort, that is, to
evacuate only the employees present in the Building at that time, the effort during ‘on’
hours will be colossal. Therefore, this SOP will primarily deal with latter though the
procedures would be similar on a smaller scale.
12. The intensity of the earthquake may vary from low to high to very high. Whatever be
the initial intensity of the earthquake, total evacuation of the property will be
carried out.
Procedure
13. As soon as an earthquake strikes the building, the BMS manager/Site Controller will put
the Standard Operating Procedure for Evacuation into effect which would also include
the following actions :-
EHS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Doc. No.: LTR/EMS/DMP/PE
Rev No. :
Rev Date:
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND Page No.: 59 Of 74
Crisis /DISASTER MANAGEMENT
(i) Go on the Public Address System and make an announcement that the
Building will be immediately evacuated; exhort the customers to
cooperate with the Building Management, avoid panic and pay heed to
the guidance of the Floor Wardens and other employees.
(ii) Inform the Chief Coordinator/Controller.
(iii) Intimate the police and the fire-fighting authorities on instruction.
(iv) Instruct all employees who are on meal breaks or off duty, but still on the
Building premises, to report immediately to their nominated work stations
or the BMS Room.
(v) Periodically apprise and update on the existing situation on the Public
Address System under intimation to Chief controller.
(vi) Supervise and control the disaster till the arrival of the police and fire-
fighting personnel.
14. In any emergency or that which has escalated to the level of a disaster, it is extremely
important that certain important and coordination points are always kept in mind. These
are as follows:-
(a) Calm is maintained and panic prevented. This is possible only if there is
confidence in own abilities and in them who are in charge of the situation.
(b) If an emergency situation/incident has been observed, intimated or suspected, it
must be reported.
(c) Channel of reporting must be known to all employees and important contact
numbers displayed for others. (List attached as Annexure ‘3’)
(d) All important documents, like the important telephone numbers (recommended
list attached as Annexure ‘8’), incident formats, formats for after incident
reports, floor plans, etc. should be displayed/ available in the Control Room
which should be manned 24 X 7.
(e) Means of communication must be kept in a high state of maintenance at all
times.
(f) When a building is being evacuated, ensure that the people moving out are
taken a safe distance away from the building and especially away from windows
and other potentially hazardous areas.
(g) Ensure that the main entry and the passages around the property are kept free
from any encumbrances to enable free movement of emergency services
vehicles, personnel and equipment.
15. An All Clear Signal will be announced on the Public Address System only on the explicit
instructions of the Site Controller/ Chief Security Officer/Chief Controller after the
incident has been controlled.
Medical Aid
16. If anyone has been injured during the incident, he/she will be immediately evacuated to
a notified hospital on the instructions of the Site controller/ Chief Security Officer, if
required, or provided first aid on the facility premises.

Appendix 4 - Standing Operating Procedure (SOP) for Floods/ Heavy Down Pour
Objective
1. The main objective of this SOP is to establish a procedure for handling the incident of a
flood if it strikes L&T Business Park/Project/Site.
2. The objective is also to ensure that no harm or injury is caused to any customer,
tenant, client or employee as a result of the flood or actions that may be initiated
consequent to the incident of flood.
3. This will be read in conjunction with the SOPs on Fire-Fighting, Medical Aid and
Evacuation.
Policy
4. To ensure that the procedure is simple, clear and easy to follow to enable continuous
training of all concerned persons and effective handling of the incident if it occurs.
Responsibility
5. The Site Controller will be responsible for handling the incident for which he will be
assisted by BMS/ERC and their teams. In case the Site Controller is not available, the
person who has been nominated as the next in hierarchy will supervise and handle the
incident. Clear hierarchy for reporting, controlling and handling the
disaster/emergency for each contingency should be laid down and made
known to every employee, Client and tenant of the Building.
7. As is evident, there will be no typical reporting procedure when a flood strikes the
property since it would happen without affording any reaction time to anyone. It is,
therefore, imperative that all the employees, clients and tenants are thoroughly
conversant with the relevant drills and procedures and his/her role in them.
Procedure
8. The Site Controller/BMS shall consider the following action if the property is threatened
by the potential of heavy rains
i. Report the expected incident to the Chief Controller, and activate the DMC.
ii. Consult with tenancy/workplace managers to arrange measures to be implemented to
mitigate the effects of a rains by:
(a) Moving valuables/essential assets to a floor likely effected.

that could enter the space, lift shafts, electrical shafts/panels.
(c) Switching off electrical equipment if water is likely to entre in the system.
(d) Arrange for lifts to be parked at the top of a rise and shut down or locked off;

OBJECTIVE:
To establish a procedure in case of a Terrorist Attack.
POLICY:
Ensure effective Handling in case of a Terrorist Attack
RESPONSIBILITY:
Chief Controller
Building Management
Team/ Site Controller
PROCEDURE:
On receiving the information regarding a Terrorist attack in the building the BMS/Site
Controller must be informed.
He would order to seal all access points to the building and order for the people to
gather at the assembly point in the building and activate disaster management team in

Terrorism is the unlawful use of force or violence, or the threat of violence for purposes of
intimidation, coercion or ransom. Terrorists often use such threats or actions to create fear
among the public, to try to convince citizens their government is powerless to prevent
terrorism and to get public attention for political or social objectives.
The effects of terrorism can vary significantly from injuries and loss of life to property damage
and disruptions in services such as electricity, water supply, public transportation and
communications. Attacks can take several forms, depending on the technological means
available to the terrorist. Other terrorist methods include kidnappings, arson, shootings
and the use of chemical, biological or nuclear agents.
The use of explosives by terrorists can result in collapsed buildings and fires.
Types of Terrorism
Bio-Terrorism
Biological agents are organisms or toxins that can produce illness or death in people and
animals. They can be dispersed as aerosols or airborne particles or by infected individuals.
Terrorists also can use biological agents to contaminate food or water.
Numerous biological agents could be used as weapons, but government officials believe
the most likely pathogens would cause diseases that include anthrax, smallpox,
botulism, cholera, plague, Q fever, salmonellosis, tularaemia and viral haemorrhagic
fever.
A biological agents take time to cause a disease, a biological attack may not be obvious
for days to weeks depending on the incubation period of the disease.
If government officials become aware of a biological attack through an informant or
warning by terrorists, they would most likely instruct citizens to either seek shelter
where they are and seal the premises or evacuate immediately.
A person affected by a biological agent requires the immediate attention of professional
medical personnel.
Some resultant diseases – plague, smallpox and viral haemorrhagic fevers – are
contagious and victims may need to be isolated.
While it is possible for Q fever to be transmitted from person to person, it is rare.
Information, treatment options and other advice would be provided by government
Officials to the public through the news media.
