EMERGENCY DRILL REPORT

Drill Report No.: 57 Cost Center Name: Al Aweer Power Plant

Location: DEWA Exisiting Plant Cost Center Number: 5001
Date: 8th, 9th and 10th/08/2022
Time: 7:30 AM

Drill Scenario observation: ESC has initiated massive awareness campaign about incident/ lessons learnt based
Environmental Incident No. 04 dated 14th July 2022- 'Minor Chemical Spill during chemical cleaning at Fuel gas
piping loop-02 chemical cleaning'. Emergency Response Team has performed spill control simulation drill as part of
Emergency Spill Control Plan and to enhance Awareness Sessions in other to maintain the high level awareness
among the Subcontractors. In addition, it was intended that participants will learn about chemical waste disposal,
principles of emergency response and basic first aid during chemical spillage incidents.

S.N. Drill Sequence Planning Planned time

IDENTIFY THE SUBSTANCE & DETERMINE THE RISK
The ERT in charge should identify (to the extent possible) all hazardous substances,
1 the conditions present, handling procedures, amount of liquid and potential dangers. Aug-22
The most important thing to consider here is if the spill is life threatening.
PROTECT YOURSELF
Once the ERT has determined that the spill is not life threatening and is manageable,
2 protect the clean up team by properly outfitting them in Personal Protective Equipment Aug-22
(PPE). This includes PPE suits (choose the correct level of suit that can be found on
the liquids MSDS sheet), respirators (SCBA recommended), boots, gloves and
goggles.
STOP THE SPILL
3 ERT Lead will gave the instruction to stop the spill at its source. This can be done by Aug-22
turning a valve, rolling a drum over or using a leak stopper.

CONTAIN THE SPILL

Limit the spread and exposure of the spill by properly containing the liquid. This can be
done by utilizing the correct equipment like SPILL KITS and proper sorbents like
4 Aug-22
SORBENT SOCKS. These products can all be used to dam, dike or divert the spill for
easy, manageable clean up. If properly planned, many spills can be self contained by
using the proper SECONDARY CONTAINMENT like DRY SAND.

MINIMIZE THE RISK

5 Acids and Bases will need to be neutralized (CEP NEUTRALIZERS) and at times oil Aug-22
and their by products can be emulsified using DEGREASERS and MICROBLAZE.

CLEAN UP THE SPILL

Emergency response team will immediately start to control the spillage encircle by
6 using spill kit absorberts to remove the chemical water. Often these clean up products Aug-22
will be stored and ready to use in one of our OVERPACK SPILL KITS which can then
be used for proper disposal.
DECONTAMINATE
7 Contaminated soil, garnels, cotton rugs and sponge put in a Polythene cover and Aug-22
secured for removal (to be disposed in Harzardous Waste Skip).
DECONTAMINATE
Cleaning a spill means properly cleaning both the clean up crew and their equipment
8 Aug-22
afterwards. Remove and dispose of used PPE the same manner as spilled liquid or
Solid waste.
TOOL BOX TALK
ESC HSE and ERT Lead to conducting a Tool Box Talk on the Drill highlighting the
9 Clean-up preparedness/ requirements: (1) prior training in clean-up procedures; Aug-22
(2)immediate availability of clean-up (spill kit) materials and; (3) prompt notification to
the ESC HSE Management.

SUMMARY
Planning for an oil spill emergency helps to minimize potential danger to human health and the environment by
ensuring a timely and coordinated response. Well designed local contingency plans can assist response personnel in their efforts to
contain and clean up oil spills by providing information that the response teams will need before, during, and after
spills occur. Developing and exercising the plan provides opportunities for the response community to work together as a team and
develop the interpersonal relationships that can mean so much to the smooth functioning of a response.

communciated to the crew to enhance their awareness.

Because the approaches and methods for responding to oil

spills are constantly evolving and each oil spill provides an
opportunity to learn how to better prepare for future
incidents, contingency plans are also constantly evolving
and improving—ensuring increased protection for human
health and the environment from these accidents.

Recommendations:
Contractor must enhance the site monitoring specifically at the pipeline joint area during the chemical cleaning operation, so that early
detection of such leakage can be identified before overflowing from the drip tray and before contaminating the soil (routine inspection
check, with proper record). Othe incident lesson learnt recommendations shall be practiced during regular Tool Box Talks and pre‐work
briefing sessions.
