3.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PHASE I The purpose of the Phase 1 Response is to:

l Describe the roles and responsibilities of personnel involved in the immediate on site response to the Emergency e.g. Site evacuation, Search and Rescue, Fire Fighting and Spill Response. The function of the Phase 1 response is to bring the Emergency under control as quickly as possible thereby

l preventing any escalation of the situation.

Site personnel are notified of an Emergency situation by the activation of the evacuation alarm, which is recognised as a loud continuous siren. The alarm can be raised automatically by Fire Detection Systems or manually through the activation of a break glass unit. Once an alarm is activated, all personnel must make there work areas safe and move directly to their nominated Assembly Points. Those personnel with specific duties in the Phase I response must move directly to their nominated positions as defined within the Emergency Plan. The details of specific personnel actions are outlined below: .*

Note 1: In the event of a Major Emergency situation in Bay 130 the Emergency Services

should be immediately called out as the ERT does not have capabilities to respond to an

Emergency situation in Bay 130. The on duty Incident Controller should Liase with the

Emergency Services and initiate a Phase II response if required.

3. Seek advice where necessary on the selection of the PPE and extreme caution at all times when monitoring hazardous emissions under emergency conditions.

4. Depending on the nature of the release and the receiving media be it Air, Water or Soil, set up the necessary monitoring to assess the quantities and extent of the emissions as outlined below:

4.2.1.1 AIR MONITORING

1. Establish the Wind Speed and Direction and any other relevant weather conditions.

2. Obtain such weather data from weather station, wind sock or Met Eireann website or by telephone.

3. Immediately set’up sampling points downwind of the release source in order to accurately assess the situation.

4. Continuously monitor the Wind speed and direction in case of change and adjust the number and location of sampling points as necessary.

5. For odour monitoring the sense of smell is the best available indicator, while for air monitoring a list of the specific equipment exists. (See 4.2.1.5)

6. Consult available Consequence Models as necessary to assess the potential effects of specific incidents. (See Attachment III of the Emergency Manual)

7. Carry out Air Monitoring in accordance with the standard methods in use. Specific information relating to the nature of the release should be obtained from either the Plant Incident Controller, BPC Personnel, or other relevant personnel.

8. Monitor air in suitable locations, around the release and at the perimeter of the facility. Exercise due caution when monitoring any releases or spills.

9. Monitor air off-site if necessary. The off-site monitoring locations will vary to take into account the direction and speed of the prevailing wind at the time of the release.

10. Air monitoring shall be completed to ensure the area has been made safe to work in before personnel can re-enter the building or the area around the release.

4.2.1.2 MONITORING AND CONTROL OF CONTAMINATED WATER.

1. In the event of a large scale tire event firewater will be directed into the WWTP. The Equalisation Tanks and Digestion Tank have a certain retention volume available for this purpose.

2. If the WWTP cannot cope with the volumes of Firewater being generated Shannon Development should be contacted regarding the release of excess volume to sewer.

3. If a volume of Chemicals have been lost to drain the lift pumps in the Old WWTP should be switched off to retain the material in the tank. The effluent should be sampled to assess its components and subsequent action regarding its transfer should be agreed.

4.2.1.3 SURFACE iVATER MONITORING.

1. Carry out surface water monitoring to check for contamination at the relevant surface water drains in the event of a liquid spill/release. Use spill control equipment where appropriate if it is available.

4.2.1.4 GROUND WATER MONITORING

1. If there is potential for Groundwater contamination it will be necessary to sample ground water points to assess the level contamination. This is not an immediate priority in an emergency situation.

4.2.1.5 MONITORING EOUIPMENT.

1. An emergency stock of air sampling equipment will be kept in the ERT Station, and the relevant tubes for the specific release should be used. Regular checks are carried out to ensure that all monitoring equipment is calibrated and recharged if necessary. These stocks will be maintained as necessary by the Environmental Technologist Responsible for Air Monitoring.

2. An emergency stock of containers suitable for the sampling of Aqueous emissions will also be held in the ERT Hut. These stocks will be maintained as necessary by the Environmental Technologist Responsible for Water Monitoring.

Revision No: 2 Date: 03.10.01 Prev Rev No: 1 Dated: 04.02.00

1.0 PURPOSE To describe the manner in which the efficiency of the Emergency Evacuation Procedure is routinely tested and necessary corrective actions identified are recorded and completed.

2.0 PROCEDURE It is the responsibility of Safety & Environment Manager to ensure that all relevant personnel are informed of the contents of this procedure.

e 2.1

2.2

2.3

2.4

2.5

Emergency evacuations must be simulated at least twice a year unless the number of evacuations during the normal course of business exceeds this number. In such case the lessons learned during these evacuations can be used in place of the simulated evacuations.

During the course of any evacuation be it simulated or real, the detail of the response and recording of critical times must be recorded by the Environmental Health & Safety Officer Systems or in his absence the deputy incident controller at the time of the incident.

Following the evacuation any problems arising are noted following discussion with the Fire Crew leader, tl& Incident Controller, Assembly Point Counters, the Evacuation Controller, the Security officer on duty or any other interested parties.

This discussion may take place in the form of individual discussion or through a formalised meeting as deemed necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of the evacuation.

Any problems identified and the subsequent corrective actions required must be recorded in an Evacuation Effectiveness Log Book (see Attachment I). Corrective Actions identified will be raised and

2.6

m

tracked as per SOP 6 10.0 18. This log is held in the ERT Hut.

The effectiveness of the Evacuation should be communicated to all those directly involved in the Evacuation.
