discharge is observed.
2. If the spillage is small, make a temporary dam with sand around the spilled oil to prevent it from
spreading.
3. If the source or cause of the discharge can be determined, take necessary measures to stop it if
possible.

Actions of the Emergency Response Team:

4. If the discharge is small, follow procedure stated above. Then take necessary measures to stop the
discharge.
5. If the volume of discharge is large, evacuate other than necessary persons from the place to a safe
place. Take necessary measures to identify the accident site.
6. If the amount of discharge is excessive, dig trenches if necessary to prevent the spread of the
discharged oil.
7. Absorb the released oil with a suitable absorbent such as sand, foam etc. and store in a leak proof
container.
8. Save the collected oil for use if appropriate or hand it over to a used oil recycler or re-user person or
organization approved by the Department of Environment.

Actions to deal with physical effects:


9. If the released oil or oily substance enters the eyes, flush the affected person's eyes with water for 15
minutes. Use cold water to wash the eyes. Consult a doctor if necessary.
10. In case of skin contact, wash with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes. Seek medical advice
immediately. Clothing and shoes that come in contact with oil are not properly cleaned before use.
11. In case of inhalation of oil vapors, take the affected person to fresh air and keep him at rest. If victim
stops breathing, administer artificial respiration. Consult a doctor if necessary. Use caution in
administering artificial respiration. Loosen/unfasten tight collars, ties, belts, watches etc.
12. If oil enters the mouth, wash the mouth thoroughly. Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest.
13. In case of oil ingestion, give the affected person water to drink if he is not unconscious. If nausea
occurs, stop drinking water. If vomiting, keep the head down to prevent the vomit from entering the
lungs. Do not attempt to insert anything through the mouth of an unconscious person. Loosen tight
collars, ties, belts, watches, etc. and seek medical advice immediately.

4.4 ELECTRICAL HAZARD RESPONSE

An electric shock is when a body comes in contact with a source of electricity such that electric current travels
through the body, causing muscles to involuntarily seize. An electrical shock can occur even if there is no direct
contact with the source of electricity, as it can travel through the air and come in contact with hair and skin.
Because the human body has a low resistance to electricity, it also acts as a good conductor. The severity of
damage from electric shock can range from skin burns, twitching of muscles, heart attack, to death, depending on
the voltage of current that is present during the shock. A current can travel through the skin's surface, then
through the muscles, and ultimately into the body's organs. Other injuries can include seizures, breathing
problems, and broken bones.

Responsibility:

 Department Head or Shift In-Charge: HoD/Shift In-Charge will notify EHS Coordinator
 EHS Coordinator: Decides on the need for a full evacuation in emergencies, informs the Project Head and
 Admin and Security as appropriate.
 ERT: Alerts members and other cross-functional teams and conduct their Emergency activities
 Security: Responsible for headcount and arranging necessary logistical support.
 Admin: Manages external communication in consultation with the Project or Facility Head.

Procedure of Response:

1. Do not touch an electrocuted person with bare hands while there is electrical contact. Turn off the main
switch (if nearby) as soon as possible or cut the wire with a wooden handle or an axe or with a non-
conductive stick.
2. Pull the injured person by his clothes (if dry) or with a dry rope or cloth. In this case dry bamboo, wood,
paper, blanket, mat, rubber gloves or rubber shoes can also be used.
3. Provide breathing support to the victim. Lay the casualty on the bed and keep one arm straight and fold
the other arm and place the casualty's head on it. Kneel down with his body between your knees and
gently press your weight on his ankles with both hands. Then remove your weight and pressure. Continue
this process 15 times per minute. Continue the procedure for at least three hours until the victim appears
to be dead but breathing stops.
4. Do not give an unconscious person anything to drink.
5. If the injured person is engaged in any important operation from which there is a possibility of
environmental pollution like ETP, Utility, Refinery & DFR etc., the shift-in-charge shall immediately inform
the other competent operator.

4.5 HEAT STROKE HAZARD RESPONSE

Exposure to extreme heat can result in occupational illnesses and injuries. Heat stress can result in heat stroke,
heat exhaustion, heat cramps, or heat rashes. Heat can also increase the risk of injuries in workers as it may result
in sweaty palms, fogged-up safety glasses, and dizziness.

Responsibility:
 Department Head or Shift In-Charge: HoD/Shift In-Charge will notify EHS Coordinator
 EHS Coordinator: Decides on the need for a full evacuation in emergencies, informs the Project Head and
 Admin and Security as appropriate.
 ERT: Alerts members and other cross-functional teams and conduct their Emergency activities
 Security: Responsible for headcount and arranging necessary logistical support.
 Admin: Manages external communication in consultation with the Project or Facility Head.

Procedure of Response

1. If someone becomes sick (heat stroke) due to excessive temperature, immediately bring him to open
place. Note that the difference between the temperature of the place where the patient is being
transferred and the temperature at which the patient became ill should not be more than 15 degrees
Celsius. If the patient is transferred to an excessively low temperature, it poses more danger.
2. Untie all the clothes on the patient's body.
3. If the patient loses consciousness, arrange to send the patient to the hospital without delay.
4. If the patient is conscious, give oral saline fluids.

4.6 EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE PROCEDURE

Earthquake is the vibration caused by the sudden deviation or displacement of a part of the underground or the
surface of the earth. This type of vibration can be of different degrees from light to strong. As a result, buildings
collapsed, gas, electricity and telephone connections were cut off, and fires often broke out.

A relatively less intense earthquake after a large earthquake is called an aftershock. This can result in further
damage to weaker catastrophe and may occur within an hour, a day or a week or even a month of the first
vibration.

Know in advance what to do and how to do it during an earthquake. Then the feeling of being shocked during the
incident is greatly reduced. Awareness & training can be important channels for such discussions.

1. Identify in advance sources of unstable and falling objects and other hazards and arrange for the
following:
2. Furnishings and Furniture: Furniture with multiple shelves such as file cabinets, racks, etc. should be kept
connected to each other. In case of furniture with higher height, this attachment should be done both at
the top and bottom. Keep electronic items such as desktops, printers etc. in such a way that they do not
fall due to vibration. Keep the CPU on the floor. Keep the doors of cabinets, cupboards etc. locked so that
they do not open. Consider earthquake hazards when storing hazardous materials.
3. Visible and invisible objects overhead and equipment hanging from the ceiling can cause hazards.
Consider safety when storing or installing such materials. For example, diagonal bracing should be
ensured while installing anything on the ceiling. Similar arrangement will be applicable in case of light, AC,
signbox etc.
4. One of the risk factors for frayed cables connected to live electrical lines. Keep safety in mind with all
types of electrical equipment. Arrange for back-up generators to ensure uninterrupted power supply in
case of emergency. Ensure that generator fuel, fuel lines are stored in a safe place in working order.
5. Take necessary security measures for telecommunication equipment, switches and control boxes etc. to
prevent earthquake hazards.
6. Take necessary safety measures for furnaces, boilers, fans, pumps, air conditioning, ducting lines etc. to
deal with earthquake risk.
7. All chemicals used in manufacturing or cleaning shall be stored in appropriate containers at appropriate
levels to prevent vibration-induced releases. Enlist the assistance of an emergency response team to deal
with a spill emergency.
8. Designate a safe place for each area in advance. A safe place can be chosen under a sturdy table or desk,
away from windows, bookcases, tall furniture that could fall, etc. The distance of this place should be as
short as possible. Studies have shown that a person can travel up to 10 feet during an earthquake. Each
person will practice “Drop Cover & Hold” in a safe place. Repeat this exercise so that it becomes an
automatic habit.

What to do during an earthquake:

1. Lie down on your hands and knees. Adopting such a position will prevent you from falling and will also
allow you to move if necessary.
2. Cover your head, neck and, if possible, the whole body under a sturdy table or desk. If there is no place to
take shelter nearby, lie down with your arms and hands covering your head and neck at the base of an
interior wall or under low furniture that is not likely to fall on you.
3. Remain in shelter until vibration stops. If the support table moves due to shaking, change your position
with it.
4. Try to be as safe as possible during an earthquake. Remember that a first earthquake can be a precursor
to another major earthquake. So limit your movement to the nearest safe place, stay inside until the
shaking stops completely and make sure it's safe to get out.
5. If you are outside during an earthquake, stay outside. Stay a safe distance from buildings, large trees,

SFPL EHS INS 001 R-0 Page 15 of


30
SFPL EHS INSTRCTION MANUAL SAMUDA FOOD PRODUCTS LIMITED

power poles and power lines. Lie on your back and cover your head and neck with your hands.
6. Do not stand under the door, it is not safe but safer under the table.

What to do after an earthquake:


1. Stay in a safe place until the shaking stops. Then check if you are safe. Then ask the people around you.
Proceed with caution. Check for any hazards caused by falling or broken objects.
2. Prepare for possible aftershocks. If there is another shake, decide where to take shelter.
3. See if any casualty has occurred. Administer necessary first aid. Second stage tremors are usually
comparative

4.7 STRUCTURAL FAILURE HAZARD RESPONSE

When internal load bearing structural elements fail, a building or facility will collapse into itself and exterior walls
are pulled into the falling structure. This scenario may be caused by construction activity, inconsistece load
distribution, inappropriate design, an earthquake, or fire, and may result in a dense debris field with a small
footprint. Alternatively, if the structural failure is caused by an explosion or natural forces such as weather, the
building may collapse in an inward/outward direction.

Responsibility:
 Department Head or Shift In-Charge: HoD/Shift In-Charge will notify EHS Coordinator
 EHS Coordinator: Decides on the need for a full evacuation in emergencies, informs the Project Head and
 Admin and Security as appropriate.
 ERT: Alerts members and other cross-functional teams and conduct their Emergency activities
 Security: Responsible for headcount and arranging necessary logistical support.
 Admin: Manages external communication in consultation with the Project or Facility Head.

Procedure of Response

1. Move to a nearest safe location or if possible at the assembly point and protect and others from
secondary collapses
2. Do not attempt to enter the structure to perform a rescue.
3. If you know that someone is trapped or missing, immediately notify emergency responders.
4. Notify all other departments and warn other people as well
5. If the severity is big then call to National Emergency Service or FSCD
6. Involve site Admin, Project/facility head to get appropriate measures.
7. ERT will try to recue with proper PPE

SFPL EHS INSTRCTION MANUAL SAMUDA FOOD PRODUCTS LIMITED

4.8 STORM/CYCLONE/TORNADO HAZARD RESPONSE

A storm is any disturbed state of the natural environment or the atmosphere of an astronomical body. It may be
marked by significant disruptions to normal conditions such as strong wind, tornadoes, cyclones, hail, thunder and
lightning (a thunderstorm), heavy precipitation (rainstorm), strong winds (tropical cyclone, windstorm), wind
transporting some substance through the atmosphere such as in a dust storm, among other forms of severe
weather.

Storms have the potential to harm lives and property via storm surge, heavy rain causing flooding or road
impassibility, lightning and vertical and horizontal wind shear. Systems with significant rainfall and duration help
alleviate drought in places they move through.

4.9 MEDICAL EMERGENCIES

A medical emergency can be defined as a serious and unforeseen situation that has been caused by a sudden
illness or injury, requiring urgent medical attention.

A range of medical emergencies can occur in the workplace, but sometimes the type of workplace you are situated
in and the nature of the work can determine the type of emergencies which happen. However, the types of
emergencies which occur in a low-risk workplace, such as an office, might be related to health, such as a stroke.

 Cardiac arrest/heart attack


 Choking
 Continuous bleeding
 Stroke
 Seizure
 Slips and trips
 Falling from height
 Burns
 Cuts
 Allergic reactions

There are three fundamental aspects to carrying out an initial response to a medical emergency:

Check: Check over the injured individual to assess what type of medical emergency they have encountered.
Call: Call nearest hospital or ambulance or 999 so that emergency support and help will arrive as soon as possible.
Care: Give the victim First aid treatment if required so for the interim period.

Responsibility:
 Department Head or Shift In-Charge: HoD/Shift In-Charge will notify EHS Coordinator
 EHS Coordinator: Decides on the need for a full evacuation in emergencies, informs the Project Head and
 Admin and Security as appropriate.
 ERT: Alerts members and other cross-functional teams and conduct their Emergency activities
 Security: Responsible for headcount and arranging necessary logistical support.
 Admin: Manages external communication in consultation with the Project or Facility Head.

4.10 HEAVY RAIN & FLOOD EMRGENCY RESPONSE

Heavy rain can cause pooling, overflowing rivers and runoffs, and flooding. These events may result in evacuations,
power outages, supply shortages, machinery sinking, production off, traffic obstructions and road closures,
infrastructure damage and debris.

Responsibility:
 Department Head or Shift In-Charge: HoD/Shift In-Charge will notify EHS Coordinator
 EHS Coordinator: Decides on the need for a full evacuation in emergencies, informs the Project Head and
 Admin and Security as appropriate.
 ERT: Alerts members and other cross-functional teams and conduct their Emergency activities
 Security: Responsible for headcount and arranging necessary logistical support.
 Admin: Manages external communication in consultation with the Project or Facility Head.

Response Procedure:

1. Closure of windows and doors ASAP during the rainfall and to avoid dust accumulation inside the facility
2. Wear PPE to avoid any incident such as slippage, getting wet/drenched etc.
3. Check for water dripping from roof leakage and place small or medium size drums to capture rain drops
coming inside by dripping
4. Check for electrical sparks or lying cable on floor and immediately remove those items from floors
5. Monitor the water level of the road and avoid driving unless it is important
6. If water is seeping from walls or water gets higher then turn off ground level electricity
7. If the water level goes further higher i.e. machinery is getting sinking then stop ground floor operations
and shut off the electrical machinery
8. Inform ERT, Shift In-Charge

5.1 COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR EMERGENCY SITUATION

During emergency situation ERT or other members should equipped with adequate and operational tools or means
to alert others as well to inform internal and external stakeholders. Few effective communication channels are as
follows:

 Fire Alarm System


 Signage and Instructions
 Mock Drill
 Emergency Contacts
 Hand Mike

5.1.1 Fire Alarm System:

Fire alarm system are convenient the points in every departments where a switch is being placed and during fire
breakout someone from ERT or any other member will push the alarm button so that the a alarm will bang all
round the premises to alert people from fire also as an indication for get activeness of the ERT members and other
than ERT all will go to assembly point as quickly as possible.

5.1.2 Signage & Instructions:

Emergency signage and instructions gives indication during emergencies situation Do & Don’ts. As for examples
First Aid signage, exit sign, fire extinguisher sign with usage instructions, oil soplliage instructions, entry permit,
various cautions and warning signs etc.

During emergencies one can easily find out what to do by following the signs or instructions.

5.1.3 Mock Drill:

The mock drill is a simulated exercise or practice run that imitates a real-time emergency, preparing the individuals
& organization to evaluate the potential weakness, improving the response time and readiness to handle
emergency crises during fires, Oil or chemical release etc.

Types of Mock Drill & Its Examples

Fire Drill: It simulates a fire emergency and allows the participants to practice safe evacuation and familiarize
themselves with firefighting equipment usage.

Evacuation Drill: It ensures the employees leave the premises quickly and safely when fire break out, earthquack,
oil or chemical spills, or other emergencies.

Medical Emergency Drill: It simulates medical emergencies like cardiac arrest, choking, or severe injuries and
prepares employees to provide first aid, use medical equipment, and swiftly contact emergency services.

Earthquake Drill: It teaches the “drop, cover, and hold on” technique and evacuation procedures during
earthquakes

SFPL EHS INSTRCTION MANUAL SAMUDA FOOD PRODUCTS LIMITED

Workplace Safety Drill: This is conducted to understand general safety procedures, such as handling hazardous
materials, machinery operation, or emergency shutdowns, to prevent accidents or injuries.

5.1.4 Emergency Contacts:

A list of internal and external emergency contacts should be displayed at the prominent area including at guard
house. All employees should be informed of the internal and external emergency contacts particular contact for
the ERT team.

Besides, it is also highly recommended that the contact number for the immediate neighbouring facilities to be
maintained and close communication with the ERP committee to the neighbouring facility to be established. In
case of major fire breaking out, the immediate neighbours to the Project site should be informed for preparation
to avoid spread of emergency to their facility.

Contact for some of the relevant agencies and authorities associated to the Project listed in Table-1 for
reference. An update and complete list should be maintained from time to time.

5.1.5 Hand Mike:

A hand mike is a device that works without any power and can amplify a voice up to a certain level. During
emergencies, if a power outage occurs or if people are unable to hear a normal voice, a hand mike can be a very
good option to notify people nearby. It does not require any accessories or power, and it is portable, making it an
excellent choice for alerting people during emergency situations.

5.1.6 Safety Training:

Safety training refers to the training program for employees to learn about precautionary processes and
procedures and practice their applications to mitigate risk or the chance of injury on the job. Safety training is an
important module of an organization’s compliance training program. Effective and real time safety training can
offer protection to an organization and its people.

Implementing an efficient and periodic safety training program can benefit the organization in the long run and
have a positive impact on employees.

Safety training in the workplace has the following advantages:

Reduced Turnover:
Employees will be likely to stay longer at an organization that cares about their safety and well-being. The
company will also not lose employees to workplace accidents and mishaps. Employee satisfaction is directly
proportional to employee retention.

Better productivity:
Safety training ensures that employees adopt the most efficient methods of carrying out their duties without
putting themselves at risk. Employees who are assured of their safety will be more motivated and hence work
harder, guaranteeing better productivity. There will be lesser productivity loss because of injury or illness.

Increased Morale and Employee Satisfaction:


For the organization to be successful as a whole, it is important for the workforce to feel like they belong to a
community. Effective safety training reminds employees that they are cared for which will boost their morale.

Develops Team Spirit and Communications


Safety training teaches employees that they have to work together as a team and care for each other’s safety. This
helps build team spirit. Proper safety communication can also be profitable for the organization in the long run.

Legal Protection:
As stated before, organizations are responsible for training employees in standard safety procedures. Workers who
are injured or harmed at work because of lack of training can sue the organization. This means that investing in
safety training will protect the company from liability lawsuits later on. Organization will also notice a reduction in
the workers’ compensation sanctioned by the company because of work-related injuries and illnesses.

5.2 COMMUNICATION PLAN

Emergency communication planning refers to the coordination and management of resources and responsibilities
pertaining to the mitigation of, preparedness for, response to, and recovery from an emergency. This includes the
gathering, management, takeing appropriate measures to prevent any kind of injuries and to make the workplace
safe in every aspects.

The following are emergency plan for each specific emergencies:

6.1 TOOLS TO ADDRESS EMERGENCY SITUATION

6.1.1 First Aid

First aid involves providing immediate and initial medical help to individuals who suffer sudden injuries or illnesses.
It includes immediate medical attention during critical emergencies and addressing minor ailments such as burns,
lacerations, and insect stings. The primary objective of first aid urgent care is to mitigate the severity of injuries and
avert any potential long-lasting impairments. When confronted with more serious scenarios, first aid becomes
crucial in sustaining the individual's life until expert medical intervention is accessible.

The primary purpose of first aid is to sustain the life of an injured or ill individual until skilled medical assistance
arrives. By delivering timely and appropriate attention, first aid helps alleviate suffering and promote early
recovery while preventing further deterioration of their condition. First aid functions as a vital connection from the
instant a medical incident takes place until skilled medical assistance arrives. It has the ability to greatly influence
one's likelihood of survival or lead to a quicker and smoother recovery journey.

Some Common Items of First Aid Kit/Box:

 Bandages and dressings: Bandages and Dressings are crucial for covering wounds, controlling bleeding,
and providing protection.
 Antiseptics and Cleaners: Antiseptics and Cleaners help disinfect the wound site, killing or inhibiting the
growth of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that causes infection.
 Tools and Equipment: There are important tools and equipment that must be included in a first aid kit,
like scissors, thermometers, and tweezers.
 Medications and ointments: Medications and ointments are important components of a first aid kit as
they provide temporary relief and help manage minor ailments.
 Additional Items: These are supplementary items like emergency blankets, face mask, and cold packs,
which provide additional protection and aid in specific emergency situations

First Aid Kit/Box Placement

First aid kit/box should place in each departments common space, corridors, office buildings, entrance etc. where
chances of accidents is more and coveient to all for access.

Person Responsible for First Aid Kit/Box

Each department ERT members would responsible to maintain the First Aid Box and will deliver the items to the
injured person immediately. ERT member will also check periodically the tools or components of the first aid box
and will refill before the replenishment.

6.1.2 Personal Protective Equipment

Any equipment to be worn or carried by the worker to protect him from one or more risks that may pose a threat
to his health or safety in the workplace, as well as any complement or accessory with such a purpose.

Depending on its protective effects, PPE may be classified as:

 Partial: aimed at protecting against hazards that are localised in specific areas or parts of the body (e.g.
helmets, boots, gloves, etc.).
 Complete: which protects against hazards whose scope of action does not have a specific area of
localization (e.g. fireproof clothing, safety belts, etc.).

The following table shows the different types of PPE and their classification:

Protective Headgear Helmet


Ear Protection Earplugs, Earmuffs

PE OFFERING Protection for the Eyes and Face Goggles, Visors


PARTIAL Protection for the Respiratory Tract Masks
PROTECTION Arm and Hand Protection Gloves
Foot and Leg Protection Back belts, Aprons
Trunk and Abdomen Protection Back belts, Aprons

PPE OFFERING Barrier Protection Creams


COMPLETE Fall-arrest Protection Belts, Harnesses
PROTECTION Specific Protective Equipment Fireproof clothing
Table-2

PPE should be used when risks exist for the health or safety of workers that could not have been avoided or
sufficiently limited by:

 Technical means of collective protection.


 Work organisation measures, methods or procedures.

Depending on training and in fulfilment of employer’s instructions, workers should:

 Properly use and take care of PPE.


 Put PPE in an appropriate place after use.
 Immediately inform their direct immediate superior of any anomaly or damage to PPE.

6.1.3 Fire Hydrant System

Fire Hydrant Protection System is designed to fight fire of huge proportions, in all classes of risks and it is an active
fire protection measure. It is designed to provide rapid access to water if a fire breaks out. Fire hydrant installation
consists of a system of pipe work connected directly to the water supply main to provide water to every hydrant
outlet and is intended to provide water for the ERT members to fight a fire. The water is discharged into the fire
engine form which it is then pumped and sprayed over fire. Where the water supply is not reliable or inadequate,
hydrant pumps should be provided to pressurize the fire mains.

6.1.4 Fire Extinguisher

A fire extinguisher is a handheld active fire protection device usually filled with a dry or wet chemical used to
extinguish or control small fires, often in emergencies. It is not intended for use on an out-of-control fire, such as
one which has reached the ceiling, endangers the user (i.e., no escape route, smoke, explosion hazard, etc.), or
otherwise requires the equipment, personnel, resources or expertise of a fire brigade. Typically, a fire extinguisher
consists of a hand-held cylindrical pressure vessel containing an agent that can be discharged to extinguish a fire.

Classes of Fires: There are four classes of fires:

1) Class A: Ordinary solid combustibles such as paper, wood, cloth and some plastics.
2) Class B: Flammable liquids such as alcohol, ether, oil, gasoline and grease, which are best extinguished by
smothering.
3) Class C: Electrical equipment, appliances and wiring in which the use or a nonconductive extinguishing agent
prevents injury from electrical shock. Don’t use water.
4) Class D: Certain flammable metallic substances such as sodium and potassium. These materials are normally not
found in the Medical Center.

Fire Extinguishers: Fire extinguishers are classified as types A, ABC, BC or K. It is important to use the right type of
extinguisher on the specific class of fire to avoid personal injury or damage to property. The wrong type of
extinguisher could cause electrical shock, explosion, or spread the fire.

Portable extinguishers are useful for putting out small fires; however they are not effective against large, spreading
fires. In these situations, doors should be closed to contain the fire.

Types of Fire Extinguishers:

1) Type A: Pressurized water to be used on Class A fire only. Do not use on Class B or C fires; may cause fire spread
or electrical shock.
2) Type ABC: Dry chemical effective on all classes of fires
3) Type BC: Carbon dioxide to be used on chemical or electrical fires
4) Type K: Used in kitchens on grease fires

Use of Fire Extinguisher: To use a fire extinguisher, follow the acronym PASS

Pull - Pull the pin on the extinguisher


Aim - Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire
Squeeze - Squeeze the trigger to release the product
Sweep - Sweep the nozzle from side to side (slowly)

7.1 PROJECT SITE SECURITY

Every Project site is different, both in location, environmental factors and needs, but in order to achieve security,
there are common factors for fundamental security: Thorough risk analysis is essential for the site and should
reflect physical security, operational security and changes across each phase of work. Protocols should be put into
place to reduce risks identified in the risk analysis.

7.1.1 Physical Security

Need to embed robust security which supports the infrastructure of the site. This means installing measures such
as:

CCTV, Alarm systems and Signage – including highly visible systems which offer remote monitoring and recording
both as deterrent and quick alert to problems arising. Warning signage and out-of-hours security contact
information are essentials.

Access control – As well as minimal access points, this includes installing suitable, industrial security gating so that
gates cannot be simply unhinged after hours.

Lighting – As both a visible deterrent and aid to security, lighting can particularly protect access points and should
be fitted to areas which are inaccessible and therefore cannot be disabled by intruders.

Fencing and Barriers – Project site management should install fencing or barriers at the site perimeter at least 2.4
metres high. Additional security can be gained by deploying: Anti-climb, palisade and / or welded mesh fencing as
these reduce access through climbing and makes intruders visible.

Locks – Project site should include lockable storage such as steel tool vaults and containment so that all
equipment, tools, metals and materials can be secured out of sight overnight and when not in use, to reduce
visible temptation to opportunists. Fuel stores should also be adequately protected, to prevent both theft and
possible use as part of an arson attack. All access points should be lockable after hours, using tamper-resistant
methods, for example robust padlocking rather than shackles which could be cut.

Scaffolding – A resource often used by criminals to gain further access to property, all types of scaffolding,
including scaffolding towers and ladders should be locked away when not in use.

7.1.2 Operational Security

Incorporate a human overview element to project site security. Solutions may include guards or monitored CCTV.
A person or team can then be responsible for the following:

Manned Guarding: With guards who are suitably qualified, Security Inspector, would 24 hour guarding is probably
essential for project sites. They will monitor the petrol team movement path and also assess risks and alter the
gurding path.

Entry and Exit Monitoring: All kinds of materials, employees, contractor person and guest etc. to be recorded on
their entry or exit with appropriate documents such as gate pass, GRN, delivery challan etc.

8.1 POST EMERGENCY RESPONSE MANAGEMENT

Post Emergency Response management involves a systematic process of identifying, reporting, and responding to
incidents that occur on the job. This is done to reduce risks, keep employees safe and healthy, and prevent similar
incidents from happening again. This process includes several steps to effectively handle incidents, whether they
are minor or more serious.

An incident refers to any unexpected, undesirable, or disruptive event or occurrence. In a workplace setting,
incidents are events, conditions, or situations that do or can potentially cause harm to people, property, or the
environment. These incidents can have a negative impact on business operations or a worksite/project, and they
can pose a significant risk of injury to employees or harm the company's reputation.

8.1.1 Common Types of Incidents:

Accidents:
These can include vehicle accidents, falls, cuts, burns, or other types of physical harm resulting from the use of
equipment, machinery, or other work-related activities.

Injuries:
This can include strains, sprains, or other types of physical or psychological harm resulting from repetitive motions,
heavy lifting, or other work demands.

Oil or Chemical Spills or Leaks:


These can occur when chemicals are not stored or handled properly and can harm people, property, or the
environment.

Fires or Explosions:
Can be caused by electrical malfunctions, improper storage of flammable materials, or other causes and can result
in serious harm to people, property, or the environment.

Structural Failures or Collapses:


These can occur in buildings, bridges, or other structures and can seriously harm people and property.

Security Incidents:
Can include theft, violence & harassment. Security incidents can also pose a threat to information technology (IT)
systems or cyber security, such as data breaches & network outages.

Natural Disasters:
Earthquakes, Cyclones or other types of natural events that can disrupt workplace operations and cause harm to
people, property, or the environment.

Ergonomic:
Could include musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) such as carpal tunnel syndrome or other types of harm resulting
from improper workplace design or equipment use.

Near Miss:
An event where no one was injured, but the event had the potential to cause harm as identified by the risks.

8.2 INCIDENT REPORTING

Reporting an incident is crucial as it ensures proper documentation and recording, followed by appropriate
response or action. Subsequently, an investigation and analysis should be conducted, and once all steps are
completed, the incident can be closed out.

To capture incident details and assign corrective action quickly, incident reporting tools like incident report forms,
checklists can be used.

8.2.1 Process of Incident Capturing & Clousure:

Report:
All incidents should be reported immediately & with as much information as possible via the tools provided. This
ensures that the incident is documented, the correct people are notified & prompts a response or action to be
taken.

Respond:
Through risk identification, incidents in the workplace are often identified already & appropriate responsive action
plans are in place. Ensuring the desired outcomes are always met relies heavily on monitoring the implementation
and completion of these actions.

Investigate:
It's important to investigate why an incident occurred and its impact on the business & its operations. An
investigation will usually gather all the available information, such as photos, speak to all those involved, and
analyse if there are many gaps in safety processes.

Closeout:
Closing out an incident is crucial after taking corrective actions and conducting a thorough investigation. It shows
that and all necessary measures have been taken and helps identify areas for improvement.

A process of Incident reporting form is given below and concerned personnel should follow-up for the closing.
