1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Despite having best safety measures and systems, the probability of occurrence of an incident, having
disastrous consequences, in a plant cannot be totally ruled out. In some cases, this may result in loss of life
and/or extensive damage to property. To minimize the potential of such a loss and damage, it is necessary to
plan responses to such emergencies in advance. Fire, Explosion, Gas release, Chemical spills and the forces
of nature (Natural calamity) are among the conditions that may lead to an emergency in the chemical
industries.
APOTEX RESEARCH PVT LTD is aware of its responsibility towards the Safety, Health & Environment
protection within and around its neighborhood and has formulated this emergency plan to minimize and
control the loss of life and property.
This EMERGENCY PLAN is a description of series of actions and decisions, which when carried out is
intended to control or minimize the adverse results of an emergency.
Each one of us and community have a role to play in case of an emergency. Our preparedness to prevent and
control emergency are more important than our guesses or the probability. Failure to prepare in advance is to
invite hazard. One who has an effective emergency plan has hope of survival.
The following represents basic principles for an individual action in an emergency.
 Control depends on an immediate response to procedures that must have been learned. It depends on
how well individuals know on what to do in an emergency.
 The survival of others depends on the wisdom of your reaction to an emergency.
 Emotional security depends on facts, understanding, sound action and basic emergency.
 Self-reliance can reduce confusion and casualties.
 It is normal to be afraid, but excessive and irrational behavior leads to mass hysteria.
 All have powers within limits of their powers, it is the ability to control the information and support during
preparation of this plan is vital.
The primary objective of this manual is to provide concepts that can serve as a guideline for handling all
safety related emergencies (general and critical) at Apotex Research Private Limited.
This plan provides detailed information on the systems and procedures to be followed by every employee of
Apotex Research Private Limited (ARPL) India, in case of declared emergencies. It also refers the functions
and procedures of designated persons at the time of emergency.

1.3 DEFINITION, SCOPE & OBJECTIVES OF ONSITE EMERGENCY PLAN
Definition
A major emergency in a plant is one which has the potential to cause serious injury or loss of life. It may
cause extensive damage to property and serious disruption both inside and outside the plant. Sometimes, it
would require the assistance of outside emergency services to handle it effectively. Although the emergency
may be caused by a number of different factors, e.g. plant failure, human error, earthquake, vehicle crash or
sabotage, it will normally manifest itself into three basic forms, viz.-fire, explosion or toxic release.
Scope
The scope of the plan is to ensure safety of life, protection of environment, and protection of the installation.
Although the emergency may be caused by different factors such as earthquake, civil disturbance or
sabotage, equipment failure, human error, it will normally manifest in the form of fire explosion, toxic
release etc.
Objective of onsite emergency plan:

a. To localize the emergency and if possibly eliminate the same.
b. To rescue victims and organize medical treatment.
c. To control and contain the incident as early as possible.
d. To prevent it from spreading out.
e. To safeguard employees by evacuating them to safe assembly points.
f. To minimize the loss and damage to the plant, material and to limit environment pollution.
g. To re-establish normalcy.

1.7 METEOROLOGICAL DATA
Meteorological data applicable to the site with respect to temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction,
rainfall etc. as summarized below.
1.8 HUMIDITY
The humidity comfort level is based on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate
from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid.
Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change
more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.
Anekal experiences extreme seasonal variation in the perceived humidity.
Page 10 of 60
The muggier period of the year lasts for 8.2 months, from March 30 to December 3, during which time the
comfort level is muggy, oppressive, or miserable at least 22% of the time. The month with the most muggy
days in Anekal is May, with 21.9 days that are muggy or worse.
The month with the fewest muggy days in Anekal is February, with 1.4 days that are muggy or worse.
1.9 TEMPERATURE
The hot season lasts for 2.6 months, from March 4 to May 22, with an average daily high temperature
above 89°F. The hottest month of the year in Anekal is April, with an average high of 92°F and low of 72°F.
The cool season lasts for 2.8 months, from October 13 to January 7, with an average daily high temperature
below 82°F. The coldest month of the year in Anekal is December, with an average low of 62°F and high
of 80°F.
1.10 RAINFALL
To show variation within the months and not just the monthly totals, we show the rainfall accumulated over a
sliding 31-day period centered around each day of the year. Anekal experiences extreme seasonal variation in
monthly rainfall. The rainy period of the year lasts for 9.1 months, from March 20 to December 25, with a
sliding 31-day rainfall of at least 0.5 inches. The month with the most rain in Anekal is September, with an
average rainfall of 4.9 inches. The rainless period of the year lasts for 2.9 months, from December
25 to March 20. The month with the least rain in Anekal is January, with an average rainfall of 0.1 inches.
1.11 WIND
This section discusses the wide-area hourly average wind vector (speed and direction) at 10 meters above
the ground. The wind experienced at any given location is highly dependent on local topography and other
factors, and instantaneous wind speed and direction vary more widely than hourly averages.
The average hourly wind speed in Anekal experiences significant seasonal variation over the course of the
year.
The windier part of the year lasts for 3.1 months, from June 1 to September 3, with average wind speeds of
more than 10.0 miles per hour. The windiest month of the year in Anekal is July, with an average hourly wind
speed of 13.6 miles per hour. The calmer time of year lasts for 8.9 months, from September 3 to June 1.
The calmest month of the year in Anekal is October, with an average hourly wind speed of 6.3 miles per hour.

Page 11 of 60
In Anekal, the wet season is warm, muggy, and overcast and the dry season is hot and partly cloudy. Over the
course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 61°F to 92°F and is rarely below 56°F or above 98°F.
2. IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARD & RISK ASSESSMENT
Identification, analysis & assessment of hazards and risks provide vital information for risk management. The
events that can lead to emergency are fire, explosion, toxic release, leakage of toxic, corrosive, flammable
liquids. The hazard analysis revealed that the damage distance is very much confined to plant boundary only.
Risk associated with any activity is directly proportional to hazards control procedures and arrangements.
2.1 Identification of Hazard
Hazard analysis essentially consists of identifying and quantifying various hazards or unsafe conditions that
may exist or arise in the plant on account of a variety of causes such as poor design or engineering, plant
failure, human error, earthquake, sabotage etc. Risk analysis on the other hand refers to the identification and
qualification of risk to the plant, personnel and surrounding arising out of the hazard previously identified.
To carryout risk assessment, the following hazard control arrangements & procedures are considered:
 Factory layout.
 Storage hazard & controls.
 Process hazard & controls.
2.1.1 Factory Layout: A plan of factory premises showing details of Fire hydrant line, Assembly point,
Emergency escape route map etc., enclosed in EXHIBIT – A.
2.1.2 Storage Hazard & Controls: The chemicals are stored as per compatibility provided with a secondary
containment. Product-wise description of hazardous chemicals with hazardous properties
is enclosed in EXHIBIT- B (The List will be updated periodically).

 Spill control kit
 Shovels
 Waste disposal containers and bags
 Drain covers and plugs
 Decontamination solution
 HEPA filtered vacuum
Page 23 of 60
viii. The proper absorbent material must be selected to use for the clean–up. Some will absorb hydrophobic
materials, while other will absorb hydrophilic materials. Absorbents also come in various configurations
which include:
 Pads
 Rolls
 Granules
ix. Proper planning to handle anticipated hazards is important. The spillage hazards may include:
 Fire
 Spillage
 Explosion
 Toxic Fumes
 Reactivity
 Corrosion
 Oxygen Deficiency/Excess
 IDLH atmosphere
x. Any materials to be disposed off must be handled and labeled according to proper hazardous waste
disposal procedures.
xi. All waste cannot be disposed of in the regular garbage. Including spilled material and absorbent
materials used in the clean–up.
 FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS HAZARD
i. If a hazard or explosion could result from a spill (see MSDS) evacuate the area or building immediately
and notify the fire department, Emergency Coordinator, Facilities and EHS.
ii. Turn off burners and sources of electrical sparks.
iii. Stop all Hot Work.
iv. Turn off the sources of spill (e.g., gas cylinder) or contain the spill as much as possible.
v. Absorb flammable liquids with an absorbent specially designed for the purpose of containing the vapors
as well as liquid, and then transfer it to fume hoods or a fire resistant disposal container. While
flammable material is being cleaned up, one person shall stand by with an appropriate fire extinguisher.
 REACTIVE OR CORROSIVE MATERIALS HAZARD:

These substances are corrosive to tissue and can cause burns on contact to skin eyes and mucous
membranes. Some substances such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, ammonium hydroxide, etc. also
produce corrosive fumes that can be damaging and irritating to the eyes and respiratory system (Ref.
MSDS). Consult the product MSDS for information to assist in the cleanup or contact someone with
appropriate knowledge of chemistry to suggest a neutralizing agent. Extreme caution must be taken to
avoid generation of toxic vapors.

Evaluate all toxic spills prior to any emergency response by referring to the MSDS. Use an external
response group if it is determined toxic materials is extremely hazardous.
i. Cleaning Mop, towel and sponge materials transfer them to a labeled disposable container.
ii. If a toxic gas cylinder is leaking, evacuate the area(s) and contact the fire department.
Immediately clean up mercury spills, even small ones. Use a special mercury spill kit for picking up
drops of mercury. It will clean up even very tiny drops of material that may not be visible. Do not use a
vacuum cleaner, as it will promote the vaporization of mercury, increasing air contamination and the
risk of inhalation. React immediately mercury that has escaped into inaccessible places with material
specially formulated for this purpose (see MSDS). Never put mercury into the ordinary garbage where
it may react with organic material and form biologically toxic products.
 AIR QUALITY DETERIORATION:

If there is no obvious source of a spill but an unusual odor persists, there may be a danger of harmful
outside contaminants entering the facility. Immediately notify:
i. Environment Health & Safety (EHS)
ii. Facilities Department

Evacuate to External area – Safe Assembly Point if required.
Facilities Department / EHS will evaluate the air quality and determine hazard level and cause, if
possible.
 BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS

 ELECTRICAL INJURIES
i. Passage of electric current through the body may cause shock and/or burning.
ii. The shock may be relatively mild or so severe as to cause death depending on the strength of the
current passed and, on the path, passing to the earth through the body.
iii. A common result in electrical accidents is failure of the nervous system, while breathing. Breathing may
thus suddenly stop from paralysis of muscles respiration.
 ACTION TO BE TAKEN IN CASE OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK
Page 30 of 60
i. If a person, who has received an electric shock is in contact with the apparatus the current shall be
immediately switched off. If the switch cannot be found immediately and the supply is through a flexible
cable, the current shall be cut off by removing the plug or by wrenching the cable.
ii. If it is not possible to switch off or break the current, the affected person should be removed from contact
with the current. The greatest care is necessary in doing so. If casualties are to be avoided, insulating dry
materials, like stick, rope etc., should be used.
iii. Unless the affected person is breathing normally, artificial respiration shall be immediately given and
continued for some hours, if necessary. No time shall be lost as every second counts. Artificial
respiration shall be given in the recommended manner.
- The complete cycle consisting of applying and releasing pressure shall be carried out at the rate of
about 12 to 15 times per minute.
iv. The victim shall be kept warm. He shall be kept covered while giving artificial respiration.
v. Nothing shall be given to victim by mouth, if he/she is unconscious.
vi. If there are any burns, they shall be treated as under “Burns and Scalds”
vii. Immediately arrange for shifting the injured to the nearby hospital.

of the body means a further strain on the already weakened vitality.
viii. Do not leave the person alone since help may be required at any point of time.
ix. Immediately arrange for shifting the injured to the nearby hospital.
 SERIOUS BLEEDING
i. Bright red blood coming out from cut or wound in pulsations or spurts indicates bleeding from an artery
dark red blood coming out in continuous flow is indicative of bleeding from a ruptured vein.
ii. Arterial bleeding is more serious because of the rapid loss of blood. The flow of blood cannot be
stopped; pressure has to be applied by fingers and thumbs on the artery between the bleeding point and
the heart. The points where arteries come close to the surface of the skin are called the pressure points,
should be remembered and a tourniquet, if possible, shall be applied at these points to control bleeding
from the particular smaller arteries beyond. Before and while applying the tourniquet pressure shall be
applied on the cut by thumb and the thumb pressure shall be releases after application of the tourniquet.
iii. A tourniquet is made by stretching a handkerchief out by diagonally opposite corners and laying it around
the limb at the proper place with a wadded up handkerchief or bandage compressed under it and directly
on the artery feeding the wound. The tourniquet is tightened by inserting a pencil or stick in the
handkerchief and twisting it.
iv. If medical aid is delayed, the tourniquet shall be placed on the cut and pressure applied on the same.
v. Stimulants shall not be given until bleeding is controlled and not at all in cases of fractured skull.
vi. Immediately arrange for shifting the injured to the nearby hospital.
 BURNS AND SCALDS
i. Burns injuries are caused by dry heat, passage of electric current, friction corrosive chemicals, etc., and
scalds caused by moist heat as from boiling water tar etc., there is immediate danger of shock from the
pain. The dangers of a burn increase with its surface area and if one-third or more of the skin area is
involved, the person may become serious.
ii. Action to be taken in case of burns and scalds from causes other than corrosive chemicals.
iii. The parts affected shall be thoroughly washed with water.
Page 32 of 60
iv. The contaminated clothing shall be removed as quickly as possible to prevent further injury.
v. If the burns are due to acid, the parts shall be washed freely with an alkaline solution (two spoons of
sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate in one pint of warm water) and if the burns are due to an alkali,
the parts shall be freely washed with weak acid solutions such as vinegar or lemon juice diluted with an
equal quantity of warm water.
vi. Unnecessary handling of the burnt area shall be avoided.
vii. Lotions of any kind can be applied.
viii. Burnt clothing shall not be removed and blisters shall not be broken.
ix. The burnt area including the clothing shall be covered with a clean linen sheet, if a sterile bed sheet is
not available.
x. The affected area shall be given, if necessary.
xi. Action to be taken in cases of burns caused by corrosive chemicals.
xii. When the eyes are injured by corrosive chemicals, the eyes shall be flushed with copious quantities of
water. A soft pad of cotton wool shall be applied on the eyes and kept in position by a light bandage.
Medical aid shall be sought as soon as possible.
xiii. Avoid rubbing the eyes.
 SNAKE BITE
i. If it is a known that the bite is from a poisonous snake, treatment shall be both prompt and rigorous to
prevent the spread of venom throughout the body and to neutralize the poison if possible.
ii. If bitten on a limb, circulation in the arteries and veins is immediately arrested by means of a constriction
placed round the upper arm or thigh between the wound and heart.
iii. The constriction shall be of rubber tubing or handkerchief tied loosely round the limb and tightened with a
stick.
iv. The constriction shall be kept in position for 20 minutes. Then released for a minute until the skin
becomes pink and again tightened. This procedure shall be repeated till medical aid is obtained.
v. After applying the construction, the wound shall be washed with a solution of Potassium permanganate.
If possible, a deep incision shall be made into the bitten area and crystals of Potassium permanganate
should be rubbed into it.
vi. The victim shall be kept warm and absolutely at rest.
vii. Strong coffee, tea or milk shall be given, if the person is able to swallow.
viii. The person shall be reassured with encouraging words, as any alarm would seriously aggravate his
conditions.
ix. Artificial respiration shall be applied, if breathing is found to be falling.
Page 33 of 60
x. If the bite is elsewhere than a limb, where construction cannot be applied, incision shall not be done till
medical help is available.
Note: Antidote is available at SVMP OHC.
 ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM DEACTIVATION DURING EMERGENCY.
i. Fire escape doors is marked with nationally recognized fire exit signs and personnel must be able to
open a fire escape door in the event of an emergency.
ii. When doors are fitted with electric lock mechanisms, there needs to be a fail-safe way of opening them.
iii. On all Fire escape doors, an overriding mechanical release such as a crash bar is available. However, in
areas where security is of upmost importance this is not a complete safe option.
iv. Access Control system is integrated with fire alarm systems so that an alarm signal will alert the Access
System to automatically open doors during an emergency. However electronic equipment is highly
vulnerable to fire damage and potential failure, therefore, there must be an emergency override or fail-
safe method which involves cutting the power to the lock to ensure it releases in an emergency.
v. In the premises, access control door/area if fails to open via access card or exit button then only BREAK
THE GLASS of Emergency Door Release switch either with the help of hammer placed at the RED color
box or directly press on the EDR black dot.
vi. On pressing the EDR black dot, a yellow line will appear on EDR which indicates that the respective door
magnet supply has been isolated, and the door is released.
vii. If the power fails, or is interrupted by a fire alarm signal, the magnet loses power and releases the door
which can then be opened.
Note 1: Press emergency release switch provided inside each access control areas. (Individual/ employee
present inside the room/area)
Note 2: Switch off access power control mains to de-energise the magnetic doors. – (Engineering)
Note 3: Break glass options has been provided for larger access-controlled areas. (Individual/employee)
