2 Incident Anticipation, Planning and Response

2.1 Background

This Plan has been prepared in order to guide and direct the response by the Bringelly Road Upgrade – Stage

1 Project Team to an incident or emergency, be it environmental or safety in nature. The Plan has been

modified following a review by independent consultants to assess compliance with the POEO Act 1997 Part

5.7A; Duty to Prepare and implement Pollution Incident Response Management Plans, and POEO (General)

Regulation 2009 Part 3A, carried out on the 5th November 2014.

Plan preparation is a requirement for holders of Environment Protection Licences (EPLs). BMD holds EPL

20466 for road construction on this Project.

Key areas which this Plan covers are described in Table 1 below; PIRMP Requirements.

2.2 Preparedness; Risk Assessment and Pre-Emptive Actions to Prevent Pollution Incident Risks

This chapter deals with the POEO (General) Regulation 2009’s sections 98(a) to 98(f) and partially covers

s98(j). These sections deal with the hazard, likelihood and pre-emptive actions which are similar processes to

undertaking a risk assessment and providing appropriate control measures to prevent or minimise these risks.

The key to effective prevention of incidents is risk assessment, procedure development, monitoring and

training. During construction activities, BMD’s inspections and preventive actions will include:

• Risk Register updated generally on a 3-monthly basis;

Rev. I (28/2/2019) of 54

• activity specific and daily risk assessments, inclusive of associated environmental risk, safety of workers,

and emergency evacuation;

• development of work procedures, construction method statements and environmental work method

statements in consultation with relevant BMD staff such as work teams, environment team members and

senior management;

• daily inspections of active work sites;

• completion of routine environmental checklists;

• issue and quick close-out of non-compliance notices;

• ongoing environmental training;

• environmental audits of work sites, subcontractors and compliance issues.

Environmental and safety information on hazardous substances (e.g. SDS) will be available at the main site

office and where such substances are stored. Personnel involved in emergency response activities will be

provided with specific training. An up-to-date list of emergency response personnel and organisations will be

maintained at the main office and compounds.

Additionally, a more detailed assessment of the above issues and more are included in s2.4 and Appendix 2.

2.3 Summary of Pollution Types

Road construction has by its nature a limited list of typical pollution types which require consideration (see

Table 2 below). The Project CEMP addresses these in more detail.

Table 2 List of Typical Main Pollutants in Road Construction

Description Comments

Air Based Emissions

Dust From use of plant and equipment, moving across dry surfaces. Covered under G36

and CEMP Sub Plan.

Fire Small bush fires and other fires are covered under G36 and CEMP. Fire is not

considered an environmental incident, but the smoke from the fire can be and can

affect neighbours.

The controls are covered in Appendix 3 Risk Assessments. They are broken down into the following:

• Main Activities of Environmental Hazard:

o Clearing and grubbing o Bridge demolition and construction o Building demolition o Road construction o Utility works o Erosion and sedimentation o Chemical storage and use o General Concrete Works

• Each activity in the above list is assessed on the types, quantities, usage and storages of potential

pollutions listed by its:

o Chemical type o Is it a Dangerous Good? o Max Quantity on site o Location description o Map Reference o Potential impact on neighbours o Pre-emptive measures o Use of safety equipment

• A risk assessment is undertaken based on the RMS risk matrix which considers: o Hazard identification o Risk assessment o More detailed control measures for specific hazard/incident

If the risk assessment process was found to be unacceptable or review of an incident resulted in changes to the risks, alternative and improved pre-emptive measures will be considered.

2.5 Notification

The ESR or Superintendent/Foreman will make a decision based on RMS Environmental Incident

Classification and Reporting Procedure what level of notification and callout is initially required for the incident.

Larger incidents may require higher levels of notification and the need for external resources to manage the

incident and protect soil, water and biodiversity.

The ESR or PM will immediately notify the authorities listed in the below table of pollution incidents on or

adjacent to the site where material harm* to the environment is caused or threatened.

*That is, environmental harm or potential harm to the health or safety of human beings (from environmental

hazards) or to ecosystems that is not trivial; or that result in actual or potential loss or property damage of an

amount over $10,000.

*Only to be contacted in an event impacting on the Upper Canal

The Principal will be verbally notified immediately (by phone) and, in any case in writing within 24 hours, of

any incidents which have been reported to the EPA under Part 5.7 of the POEO Act.

The Principal will be verbally notified of any Category 1 environmental incidents within 1 hour of the incident

occurring. Category 1 incidents are potentially the most serious and generally reflect breaches of

environmental legislation (refer RMS Environmental Incident Classification and Reporting Procedure’s Section

1 for more detailed information).

2.6 Incident Investigation

All incidents will be documented, investigated and action plans established to prevent a reoccurrence. RMS

incident classification categorisation is to be included within the BMD report form details. Where lessons are

learnt from the investigation or current procedures are identified as being ineffective, the CEMP or associated

documents will be revised by the ESR to include the improved procedures or requirement. An environmental

investigation includes the following basic elements:

• identifying the cause, extent and responsibility of the incident

• identifying and implementing the necessary corrective action

• identifying the personnel responsible for carrying out the corrective action

• implementing or modifying controls necessary to avoid a repeat occurrence of the

Rev. I (28/2/2019) of 54

• incident

• recording any changes in written procedures required

• advising the environmental authority (i.e. EPA) if any substantial pollution has occurred.

All personnel are required to report all incidents or near hits (misses), as it is regarded as a valuable method

of addressing shortcomings in procedures, training or equipment, and is an opportunity for improvement.

Rev. I (28/2/2019) of 54

3 Project Maps

This section covers the POEO (General) Regulation s98E(k) requirements which are:

A detailed map (or set of maps) showing the location of the premises to which the licence relates, the

surrounding area that is likely to be affected by a pollution incident, the location of potential pollutants on

the premises and the location of any stormwater drains on the premises.

As the Project is staged the maps include:

• An overall map of the entire project area covered by the EPL

Project Specification G36 requires that the contractor prepare the necessary documentation including the

detailed maps required under the POEO (General) Regulation 2009.

Other maps for the project relevant to this PIRMP are listed in the Emergency Spill Response Plan for this

project.

Appendix 1 shows the entire project alignment and include the EPL boundary, outside premises likely to be

affected by a pollution incident, location of potential pollutants outside project boundary, and site facilities.

5.1 Medical Emergency

(SEE ST. JOHN’S AMBULANCE FIRST AID RESPONDER CHART INCLUDED AT APPENDIX 3)

1. Check for any threatening situation and control it if safe to do so

2. Remain with casualty (unless there is no other option) and provide appropriate support

3. Do not move any casualties unless in a life threatening situation

4. Notify the Foreman and the first aider

5. Notify the ambulance if not already done and designate people to direct them from the public road to the

incident location.

6. If necessary arrange clear path for emergency vehicles to the incident location, e.g. grader/dozer may clear

path

7. Provide support to first aider and/or emergency services if required

5.2 Spillage of Hazardous Liquids/Petroleum/Chemicals

1. Identify the source and if possible minimise/stop further spillage. IN ALL CASES, ASCERTAIN FIRST

WHETHER IT IS SAFE TO TACKLE THE SITUATION. IF UNCERTAIN, CONTACT EMERGENCY

PERSONNEL AND EVACUATE AND SECURE THE AREA.

2. Stop work in the area and notify Foreman/Supervisor.

3. Under instruction of Foreman/Supervisor and if safe to do so, isolate the contaminated area to ensure that

hazardous material does not spread to other areas. In the case of oil or other contaminant spill unable to be

contained by adjacent spill kit, the immediate area shall be bunded to prevent spread of spill.

4. In the event of a spill from plant, the plant shall be shut down immediately, and shall not be moved until the

spill can be contained and leaking part plugged / fixed.

5. If spillage occurs in the vicinity of creeks or stormwater drains, all measures must be taken to ensure that the

creeks or inlets are protected (e.g. a temporary dam is acceptable) to restrict hazardous substance entering

downstream.

6. Contaminant shall be soaked up with appropriate spill kit material and disposal of contaminated material shall

occur at an approved disposal site. If hazardous materials cannot be completely restricted and removed

from the site by equipment available then the local fire department is to be contacted.

7. Call: 000 or if using a digital mobile phone: 112.

8. Contaminated absorbent material shall be stored in a suitable bunded off and covered area or regulated

waste bin within the site compound until disposal to an approved regulated waste disposal centre.

9. All spills shall be notified to the Site Superintendent and ESR as soon as practicable and incident report

actioned.

5.3 Excavation and Disposal of Contaminated Material

If the excavation and disposal of contaminated material is required, a toolbox meeting should be held to highlight

the correct procedure. Refer to Unexpected Discovery of Contaminated Material Procedure within Soil and Water

Management Plan.

5.3.1 Excavation

• Clean fill material to be separated from contaminated material.

• Do not stockpile contaminated material on pavements

• Attempt to prevent spillage of contaminated material onto pavements. Keep pavements clean where trucks

are being loaded to prevent material being transported off site by wheels of truck.

5.3.2 Removal of sewage system

• All liquid and solid waste to controlled pumped out.

Rev. I (28/2/2019) of 54

5.3.3 Transport

• Clean vehicles of dirt, if required, to prevent transport of material off site.

• Any spillages to be cleaned as quickly as practicable.

• Cover all loads securely.

• Chemical drums for disposal to be transported in accordance with the Dangerous Good Act 1985.

• Disposal receipts must be collected from landfill and returned to Foreman for each load.

5.3.4 Personnel

• No unauthorised personnel (i.e. not directly involved with the work) should enter excavation.

• Avoid direct contact with any contaminated soil or water that has come into contact with contaminated soil.

• Eating, drinking, smoking or any other hand to mouth practice should be avoided.

• Wash hands with cleaning agent prior to eating or drinking.

• Boots to be cleaned before leaving site.

• Symptoms of chemical exposure including headache, dizziness, nausea and irritation of the respiratory tract,

eyes or skin should be reported to the Foreman or the first aider.

5.4 Refuelling or maintenance and clean of plant and equipment

• Fuel cart/truck operator and mechanic to contact BMD foreman on arrival before entering site to determine

whether site access is permitted and the locations of plant and equipment for refuelling.

• Fuel cart/truck and mechanic to park parallel to the plant or equipment, away from any other obstructions.

• Refuelling and maintenance of all plant and equipment must be conduct on level impermeable surface, where

possible.

• Plant or equipment must be switch-off before and during refuelling operation and maintenance.

• No refuelling or maintenance of plant and equipment near drainage inlets or the like, including swale drains

and sediment basins.

• Spill kit, Safety Data Sheet and fire extinguisher must be accessible on the fuel cart/truck and mechanical

truck.

• Drip tray or absorbent pads to be placed underneath where the nozzle refuels the machine/plant to contain

leaks, including extracting oil and changing filters during maintenance. Dispose all waste material in

accordance with legislative requirements.

• If a spill or leak occurs, contact BMD foreman who will inform BMD ESR for an initial investigation to

determine the severity of the incident. RMS will be notified of the incident immediately, and written notification

5.10 Early Warnings and Communications to Neighbours

Key stakeholders and residents were sent a community update in January 2015 detailing the commencement and

breakdown of project stages of the Bringelly Road Upgrade Stage 1. RMS have and will continue to provide key

stakeholders and residents of project updates via the monthly Community Update newsletter.

The contractor will prepare an environment Action Table as part of the CEMP that details the cases where

contact with community may be needed and how this contact will be managed.

The project map in the Emergency Spill Response Plan shows the location of neighbouring properties.

An assessment of the typical pollution incident types has been undertaken to consider the potential impacts on

neighbours. This resulted in the early warning actions located in Table 6 below.

6 Training – Summary and Reference to Project Procedure As part of RMS G36 Environmental Protection (Management Systems) the Contractor’s Environment Management Plan the following induction and training must include where applicable the following:

• Purpose and objections of the CEMP

• Requirement of due diligence and duty of care

• Condition of environmental licenses, permits and approvals

• Environmental emergency plans

• Management and reporting processes for environmental incidents

• Lessons leant from environmental incidents

• Environmental controls that are identified in the CEMP and its supplementary plan

• Site specific issues including, but not limited to erosion and sediment control, boundaries for vegetation clearing, locations of refuse bins, washing, refueling and maintenance of vehicles, plant and equipment.

• Environmentally sensitive areas

• Use of spill kits to contain any chemical, fuel or oil spills To also satisfy the requirements under this PIRMP the training is to also include:

• Awareness of the PIRMP

• Where this Plan can be accessed

• Pollution incident classification and reporting under this plan

• Spill response actions under this plan

• Other incident response actions under this plan

• Early warnings internally and to neighbours where appropriate

• Specific procedures in dealing with potential pollution incidents e.g. pump out of sedimentation basins Section 13 of the CEMP outlines the requirement for all project personnel, subcontractors, consultants and visitors to be familiar with the environmental management obligations and requirements of the project, especially the requirements of this plan. The information will be communicated at the site specific induction, on occasion a specific environmental training (as per Table 14 of the CEMP) will be carried out, discussed at the daily site briefing, and monthly mentioned at toolbox talks. All records of induction, training, site briefing and toolbox talks will be held on file for at least four years after the date of Final Completion and will be available to the RMS and to the EPA officers on request.

7 Updating of Plan Effective date: April 2015 Review date This Plan will be updated according to the following:

• One month after the Contractor Environment Management Plan has been accepted by RMS; or

• Periodically throughout construction; or

• Within one month of a Category 1 Incident; or

• As identified after testing of the Plan (see section 8).

Rev. I (28/2/2019) of 54

8 Testing and Implementation

8.1 Testing of the PIRMP The POEO (General) Regulation 2009 98E states for testing of the Plan:

1) The testing of a plan is to be carried out in such a manner as to ensure that the information included in the plan is accurate and up to date and the plan is capable of being implemented in a workable and effective manner. 2) Any such test is to be carried out: (a) routinely at least once every 12 months, and (b) within 1 month of any pollution incident occurring in the course of an activity to which the licence relates so as to assess, in the light of that incident, whether the information included in the plan is accurate and up to date and the plan is still capable of being implemented in a workable and effective manner

Testing of the Plan will be integrated into other emergency and incident testing and training programs. Testing of the Plan cannot be properly undertaken or designed until the CEMP has been prepared for that Stage of development of the project. Initial testing of the plan will be undertaken within 6 months of the acceptance of the CEMP. Design of the testing will be undertaken 1 month before the testing is conducted. Records of the testing will be required by the RMS on the contractor. Testing dates This Plan will be updated according to the following:

• Initially 6 months month after the Contractor Environment Management Plan has been accepted by RMS, or

• Or before one month after a Category 1 Incident. Further details will be available under the Incident and Emergency Response Management Plan for the Project. Recording of Testing A detailed record of the testing of the Plan will be prepared after each testing of the plan is undertaken. If the test identifies any shortcomings in the Plan, especially the implementation of the spill response procedures, the Plan will be corrected or appropriate non-conformance actions will be undertaken.

8.2 Implementation of the Plan The POEO Act 1997 s153F requires the Plan be implemented if a pollution incident occurs. A pollution incident is defined under clause 147 of part 5.7 of the POEO Act 1997 as: Meaning of material harm to the environment

1. For the purposes of this Part: a. harm to the environment is material if:

i. it involves actual or potential harm to the health or safety of human beings or to ecosystems that is not trivial, or

ii. it results in actual or potential loss or property damage of an amount, or amounts in aggregate, exceeding $10,000 (or such other amount as is prescribed by the regulations), and

b. loss includes the reasonable costs and expenses that would be incurred in taking all reasonable and practicable measures to prevent, mitigate or make good harm to the environment.

2. For the purposes of this Part, it does not matter that harm to the environment is caused only in the premises where the pollution incident occurs.

$2 million maximum fines apply for failing to implement the Plan.

Rev. I (28/2/2019) of 54

Hence if a pollution incident occurs:

• It must be responded to according to this Plan and its reference documents.

• An incident response report/audit must be completed

Appendix 2 Risk Assessments

This Plan uses a risk assessment process to demonstrate the existing risk control methods are effective

in preventing and minimising environmental harm from pollution incidents. If unacceptable risks are

identified new control measures will be introduced. The modular format permits the use of common

activities associated with road construction to be used in future PIRMP documents.

The modules used for this Plan for the Project include:

• Clearing and grubbing

• Road construction

• Soil and water management

• Chemical storage and use

Each module uses a standard risk matrix used by RMS in its REF.

Each module lists the type of use or storage for the pollutant/s being considered.

Each of the above is considered for a range of hazards and their control method considered. Also

considered in the above process is:

• Impact on neighbours

• Safety

• Location

• If the pollutant is a hazardous chemical

Risk Matrix

Environmental risks associated with RMS and its contractor’s activities use the following table.

Clearing and Grubbing

Purpose

This risk module forms part of the PIRMP for the Bringelly Road Upgrade Stage 1 project. The activities

associated with this module are related only to clearing and grubbing.

Activities

Clearing and Grubbing involves:

• Clearing of vegetation

• Clearing of minor built structures

• Clearing of rubbish and other

• Grubbing of trees and stumps

• Mulching

• Stockpiling of mulch

• Removal of Mulch

This risk module describes the main hazards to human health or the environment associated with

clearing and grubbing. The first table in the risk module lists the potential pollutants. The second table

describes the potential pollution incidents with pre-emptive actions to be taken to minimise or prevent

any risk of harm to human health or the environment. In the case of actual or threatened material harm

to the environment or human health procedures must be followed for contacting authorities as in RMS

Environmental Incident Classification and Reporting Procedure. For incidents where pollution has the

potential to impact on the community, early warning systems as described in section 6 of this document

are to be initiated.

Further details on the risk assessment and appropriate control methods can be found in the following

documents:

• CEMP

• Review of Environmental Factors (REF) 2011 and addendum REF 2013

• Environmental Work Method statements

The module has been written to cover general environmental hazards and their controls. As the

construction process is fluid, new documentation may better reflect the risks and controls. Primarily

this will be captured in the CEMP.

Soil and Water Management

Purpose

This risk module forms part of the PIRMP for the Bringelly Road Upgrade Stage 1 project. The activities associated with this module are related only to soil and water management.

Activities

Soil and water management involves:

• waste water discharge from dewatering, surface washing, grit blasting, saw cutting, drilling, washing vehicles and plant, batching plants, casting yards, washing out of concrete mixers and concrete trucks and any other activities which add pollutants to water;

• prevention of mud and litter being deposited on trafficked roadways;

• maintenance and cleaning of sediment control works;

• protection of soil and other stockpiles from erosion by wind and rain;

• extraction of water for construction purposes; and

• excavation in waterways.

• management of any sedimentation basins including measures for flocculation and dewatering

• Sensitive crossings

This risk module describes the main hazards to human health or the environment associated with soil and water management. The first table in the risk module lists the potential pollutants. The second table describes the potential pollution incidents with pre-emptive actions to be taken to minimise or prevent any risk of harm to human health or the environment. In the case of actual or threatened material harm to the environment or human health procedures must be followed for contacting authorities as in RMS Environmental Incident Classification and Reporting Procedure. For incidents where pollution has the potential to impact on the community, early warning systems as described in section 6 of this document are to be initiated.

Further details on the risk assessment and appropriate control methods can be found in the following documents:

• CEMP

• Review of Environmental Factors (REF) 2011 and addendum REF 2013


The module has been written to cover general environmental hazards and their controls. As the construction process is fluid, new documentation may better reflect the risks and controls. Primarily this will be the CEMP, sub-plans and/or Environmental Work Method Statements.

3 3 H May impact on surface water quality if it goes off site

G-36 s6.12 requires: CEMP to ensure that chemical, fuel and lubricant storage areas must be suitably located inside a HazChem container in a secure protected area with an impermeable floor to minimise the impact of any spillage or contamination on the Site and adjoining areas. The HazChem container must be able to contain 120% of the total volume of the stored materials. Do not locate storage areas within 40 metres of natural or built drainage lines, flood prone areas, or on slopes steeper than 1:10. The Hazchem container is be located within the boundary of the main site compound and at nominated satellite site facilities. A fully equip spill kit shall be available and accessible and all the material safety data information for any chemical or fuel to be used or stored adjacent to the HazChem container.

Sedimentation basins act as capture / additional containment

Road Construction Purpose This risk module forms part of the PIRMP for the Bringelly Road Upgrade Stage 1 project. The activities associated with this module are related only to Road Construction. Activities Road Construction:

• Excavation;

• Removal of material to spoil,

• filling,

• compacting,

• construction and trimming;

• paving;

• sweeping;

• Line marking

• Setting up site compound This risk module describes the main hazards to human health or the environment associated with road construction. The first table in the risk module lists the potential pollutants. The second table describes the potential pollution incidents with pre-emptive actions to be taken to minimise or prevent any risk of harm to human health or the environment. In the case of actual or threatened material harm to the environment or human health procedures must be followed for contacting authorities as in RMS Environmental Incident Classification and Reporting Procedure. For incidents where pollution has the potential to impact on the community, early warning systems as described in section 6 of this document are to be initiated. Further details on the risk assessment and appropriate control methods can be found in the following documents:

• CEMP

• Review of Environmental Factors


The module has been written to cover general environmental hazards and their controls. As the construction process is fluid, new documentation may better reflect the risks and controls. Primarily this will be the CEMP.
