1 Insignificant Bruising, light abrasion, etc. – no injury.

Gradation Likelihood (L) Criteria of Gradation


5 Frequent Certainty (once in seven days).
4 Probable Occasional occurrences (once every 8 to 60 days).
3 Occasional Occasional occurrences (once every 61 to 1 year) or long term effect.
2 Remote Remotely possible but known occurrence (once every more than 1 year up to 5 years).

EVACUATION PLAN

Evacuation of personnel from a specific area of the facility maybe needed during emergency. Therefore, it is
important to acquaint all personnel with the basic procedures to follow. This will ensure a safe, efficient and
orderly withdrawal. The EHS Coordinator will decide when to evacuate the site.

Exit or Evacuation Route:

An exit route is a continuous and unobstructed path of exit travel from any point within a workplace to a place of
safety. An exit route consists of three parts:

1. Exit access – portion of an exit route that leads to an exit.


2. Exit – portion of an exit route that is generally separated from other areas to provide a protected way of
travel to the exit discharge.
3. Exit discharge – part of the exit route that leads directly outside or to a walkway or open space with
access to the outside

Responsibility:

1. For any emergency situation the EHS Coordinator would decide the requirement for full evacuation
2. The ERT will alert or warn the members and other cross functional team
3. ERT also inform Project head, security and Cross functional team
4. Security is responsible for head count and arrangement of necessary logistics support
5. Admin is responsible for outside communication by discussiog with Project or facility head.

Procedure of Evacuation:

1. Stop all activities immediately and switch off the device or machinery or process.
2. Assess that all persons can evacuate the area, including individuals with mobility limitations, have
evacuated their area.
3. Follow EXIT signs to the nearest safe exit. Do not use elevators.
4. Allow others to enter the stairwell. As approach the landing of each floor, allow evacuees from that level
to enter the stairwell.
5. Steer clear of hazards. If evacuation becomes difficult via a chosen route, because of smoke, flames or
blockage, re-enter the facility on a safe floor. Continue evacuation via the nearest safe exit route.
6. Move away from the building. Away from the building and exit doors. Proceed to your Evacuation
Assembly Area.
7. Do not re-enter the building without an “all clear”. Do not, under any circumstances, re-enter the facility
unless declared safe,
8. The ERT will seek for personnel weather unable to get out

3. Admin and security for external communication, arrangement of logistics etc.

Procedure:

1. If fire break out then immediately alert by pressing FIRE ALARM or by shouting FIRE FIRE
2. Switch off or shut down the electrical breakers, gas valves etc.
3. If someone gets injured, immediately bring him/her to the Assembly point
4. ERT will give First Aid to the effected personnel
5. Follow the Evacuation procedure mentioned above
6. ERT will try to extinguish the fire with extinguishers
7. In case of critical situation discuss with Project/Facility head and take appropriate action by
