FIRST ACTION RESPONSE

PURPOSE

This First Action Response (F.A.R) has been specifically designed to assist Bonney Energy Fuel Distribution personnel to effectively respond to an emergency incident involving a dangerous goods vehicle, in doing so this F.A.R aims to:

·       Minimise any adverse effects on people, damage to property or harm to the environment in a transport emergency

·       To facilitate a rapid and effective emergency response and recovery

·       To provide assistance to emergency service

·       To communicate vital information to all relevant persons involved in the transport emergency (both internal and external agencies) with a minimum of delay

SCOPE

This F.A.R provides emergency response guidance in the event of:

·       A vehicle rollover

·       A serious vehicle incident (including threat to personal safety and fire)

·       A spill or leak

This F.A.R does not replace the Transport Emergency Response Plan (TERP) and should be used in conjunction with all relevant documents in relation to the TERP.

DRIVER RESPONSIBILITIES

Step

 

Action

1

Raise the Alarm

Always advise the Emergency Contact and 000 before attempting to control an emergency.  

2

Secure the Area

If no injury has been sustained and you are fit do so, establish a hazard zone to keep non-emergency response personnel and vehicles out of danger.  Patrol the area if necessary, to keep onlookers at a safe distance, both for their own safety and to allow emergency services to operate without obstruction.

3

Proceed with Care

Remain calm and do not rush.  Minimise risk of exposure to vapours and fire by moving upwind from the vehicle.

4

Identify Products

Advise emergency services personnel of products involved

5

Assess the Situation

Consider the following and provide information to emergency services personnel:

·       Is there a fire?

·       Is there a spill or leak? How big is it?

·       Is containment necessary?

·       What are the weather conditions?

·       What is the terrain like?

·       What is at risk? People, property or the environment?

·       How significant is the risk?  Base this on the situation, the hazards of the dangerous goods involved (the Class of dangerous goods) and their degree of danger (the Packing Group).

·       Is it necessary to protect the public?  Protect in place or evacuate?

6

Respond

Only respond if safe to do so and after emergency services have been alerted.  Your first duty is to ensure the safety of all people in the immediate area including your own.

FORECOURT FIRE DURING DELIVERY

IMMEDIATELY CONTACT FIRE BRIGADE & POLICE  000

Only if safe to do so:

·       Stop flow of product

·       Shut off engine if pumping product

·       Disconnect hoses from receiving tank and move tank to a safe location

PUBLIC & PERSONAL HEALTH & SAFETY

Where there has been a fuel spill or leak there is the potential for fire.

IMMEDIATELY CONTACT POLICE & FIRE BRIGADE  000

·       Spill or leak area should be isolated immediately for at least 25 m in all directions

·       Keep unauthorised personnel away

·       Keep upwind and to higher ground

·       Ventilate enclosed spaces before entering

Decisions on protecting the public at dangerous goods incidents should initially be made by the first emergency services officer on the scene.  Specialist advice may be sought but a decision must be made on the scene.

      Large Spill – consider initial downwind evacuation for

·       Flammable Liquids - at least 300 metres

·       Combustible Liquids – at least 100 metres

      Fire – consider initial evacuation in all directions for

·       Flammable Liquids – at least 500 metres

·       Combustible Liquids – at least 500 metres

 

 

 

 

First Aid

·       Remove victim to fresh air – apply resuscitation if victim is not breathing

·       Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult

·       Clothing saturated with hydrocarbon is a fire risk - wet down clothing with water before removing

·       In case of contact with material, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes

·       Keep victim warm and quiet – obtain immediate medical care

·       Ensure that attending medical personnel are aware of identity and nature of product(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves.
TANKER FIRE WHILST IN TRANSIT

IMMEDIATELY CONTACT FIRE BRIGADE & POLICE   000

Small Fire – if safe to do so:

·       Park tanker in safe location

·       Shut off engine

·       Extinguish fire with dry chemical

      Large Fire

·       Do not attempt to fight a large fire, evacuate area

VEHICLE ROLLOVER

·       If the tanker is a rollover the recovery process will be managed by ISS First Response in consultation with the Bonney Energy Emergency Response Team Leader.

·       Tankers must be unloaded before attempting to upright with a crane or tow truck.  It is important to transfer the product as this will lower the risk factor associated with recovery of the damaged tanker. Righting a loaded road tanker should NEVER BE CONSIDERED

PRODUCT TRANSFER FROM DAMAGED VEHICLE

·       The recovery of a damaged tanker is a specialist process requiring careful planning and management by the Emergency Response Team Leader in conjunction with Team members and the Operations & Sales General Manager (the planning process must include a risk assessment by all members of the Emergency Response Team – (Refer to the JHA – Recovery of Fuel from Rollover Tanker using Air Pump located in the DMS)

·       The decision of how to connect to the damaged unit should only be made after consultation with senior emergency services officers present at the incident.  Their services may be required to provide firefighting expertise (e.g. laying a foam cover) and establishing a perimeter “No Entry” zone.

·       The use of the API valve will be restricted in its capacity to drain the product if the tanker is any position other than upright.

·       THERE WILL BE VAPOUR PRESENT

·       Eliminate all sources of ignition (including mobile phones, pagers, non-intrinsically safe two-way radios, torches, motor vehicles, cameras)

·       Establish a ‘NO ENTRY” zone for persons not associated with the product recovery task in consultation with the Emergency Services Officers.  Available space permitting a radius of at least 50 metres is commonly recommended.

·       Check for any stormwater drains and cover inlets.  Are there any water courses nearby?

·       Bund the damaged tanker using absorbent booms or other absorbent material (sand, earth)

·       A DIAPHRAGM PUMP (AIR OPERATED PUMP) IS THE PREFERRED OPTION FOR PUMPING PURPOSES

·       If an air operated pump is not available a tanker may be used as a “pumping tanker” into a “receiving tanker”

·       THERE MUST BE THREE UNITS INVOLVED

o   The Damaged Tanker

o   The Pumping Tanker

o   The Receiving Tanker

·       ALL UNITS SHOULD BE 15 METRES APART FOR THE UTMOST SAFETY

·       A compressor for an air pump should be 15 METRES from the damaged and receiving tankers

·       Any decision to use a less than 15 metre distance for the pumping tanker should be made only after consultation with Emergency Services and ensuring that safety precautions are taken.  The “receiving tanker” must be 15 metres from the “pumping tanker”

·       Ensure all units are electrically bonded (this is normally achieved using bonding/static lines between all components as well as bonding to ground.

·       Check ullage of receiving tanker with amount of product to be transferred and record details.

·       Wire camlocks to prevent opening.  You will have interconnected hoses.

·       Double check all connections are secure and wired before beginning to pump.

·       Ensure there is a competent person at each unit

·       Remember that any pump fitted to a vehicle must be:

o   Driven by a compression ignition (Diesel ONLY) engine

o   The pump and all associated pipe work must be suitably shielded from the engine of the vehicle

REMEMBER product recovery can be a hazardous operation and the risk of ignition is a real one.  The recovery operation must be treated with caution.  

 

 

RECOVERY

Note: Specific recovery tasks are to be undertaken only by specialist organisations that have the skills to complete them.  These organisations will be appointed by the Emergency Response Team Leader in conjunction with the Operations & Sales General Manager.

 

ALWAYS CONSULT WITH EMERGENCY SERVICES
