Emergency Rescue Plan
Assembly point is the safer place defined for people to be assembled during emergency
where the head counter will ensure that all people are evacuated safely from hazardous
area.
The assembly points defined for JKLC , Sirohi site is
1. Assembly point I : In front of Thermax office,
2. Assembly point II : Near DM Plant at TPP area,
3. Assembly point III : In front of AHP at TPP area,
4. Assembly point IV : In front of ACC Fan at WHRB area

Controller / Incident Controller that the emergency is over and they could return to normal
duties. The assembled personnel can then leave the assembly point in an orderly manner.
The emergency plan comes into effect when an emergency is declared at TPP & WHRB,
JKLC site. The plan may be affected to the whole site or any particular area(s) of site
depending up on the nature of emergency. The applicability will be decided by Site main
Controller / Incident Controller.
Any employee can declare an emergency in situation that involves an escalating fire,
serious injury, loss of life, extensive damage to property or temporary or permanent

Emergency Rescue Plan
Medical Emergencies.
Major Fire hazards.
Natural disaster like Earth quake & cyclone.
Boiler drum burst.
Leakage of Chemical.
Snake Bite
Bite from a venomous snake, including rattlesnake, copperhead, water moccasin or coral snake. Bites on
the extremities are most common, but bites on the head and trunk are most dangerous. They are likely to
happen to person working in mines / plant.
Causes
Bites from venomous snakes are most likely to occur during outdoor activities in warm months in areas
where venomous snakes are abundant.
First aid
If the bite is on a hand or arm place it in a sling bandage or use a piece of cloth to support the arm. In the
case of a leg bite, use a splint to support both legs and bandage them together. Clean the wound and apply
a tighter bandage just above the bite, we are only trying to Immobilize not apply any pressure.
Tell the Doctor any of the following signs appearing on the way to the
hospital.

ACTION REQUIRED:
The emergency preparedness & response team should rush to the location as soon as possible
after getting the information.
Avoid unnecessary gathering of people at the spot.
If the emergency is associated with live electric line then quick action should be taken to cut the

An emergency situation can occur in the event of major fire at different locations in side plant. The
fire may be a result of electric fault or spark from hot works like welding, gas cutting. The most
probable classes of fire are
INHALATION:
SKIN CONTACT:
EYE CONTACT:
Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with warm water for at least 15 minutes.
Hold the eyelids open and away from the eyeballs to ensure that all surfaces are flushed thoroughly.
See a physician, preferably an ophthalmologist, immediately.
NOTE: Blower with sensor is installed at chlorine storage which will be operated automatically as
soon as the sensor detects chlorine leakage. The leakage gas should be blown to caustic
neutralization tank.
As it is known we don’t have control over natural calamities. Hence we can take no measure to
stop the emergency generated due to a natural disaster.
In case of having prior information regarding the possibility of such calamities all work should be
stopped for the period of these exist.
In case of sudden arrival of such disasters the following measures can be taken to minimize the
destructive effect of the same.

In case of having prior information regarding the possibility of such calamities all work should be
stopped for the period of these exist.
In case of sudden arrival of such disasters the following measures can be taken to minimize the
destructive effect of the same.
In the event of a medical emergency or accident within the site during working hours, the employee
or the supervisor should inform the Station Manager /Admin /Safety personals, they immediately
arrange for the medical attention or seek other medical attention i.e First aid from the client First aid
centre which ever deems appropriate. The Clients ambulance is used for the serious medical
emergency which requires hospital aid. The injured Personals are shifted to the hospital for further
treatment.
Based on the preliminary identification, the major hazardous installation at Power plant are storage of
capacity 25 KL and sodium hypo chloride 1000 Ltr. are the secondary fuels for combustion support at low
load and for Start-up. Following are the important considerations for loading/unloading of hazardous
chemicals.
1. Written instructions will be given which clearly define responsibilities for all personnel involved in
loading/unloading operations.
2. A responsible person normally a section supervisor on site will check that the quantity and type of fuel oil
being transferred is suitable for the receiving tanks. Tanks will be checked to see how full they are before
filling, and also during filling using the contents gauge. The maximum level device will be used to ensure
overfilling does not occur.
3. The point of transfer, where connections and disconnection are made will be sited in a well-ventilated
position.
4. Flexible hoses used for conveying fuel oil to and from truck into fixed vessels will:-
Have a means of identification. Be examined for kinks and wear on every occasion prior to use. Hose
fittings will be similarly examined, periodically checked for electrical continuity and written records of the
tests should be maintained. Properly used so that the hose will not be physically damaged or adversely
affected by the weather when not in use or when being conveyed. Loading hoses should be earth and
should also be bonded with the wagon. Replaced or repaired when damaged or worn-out. Properly used so
that the hose will not be physically damaged or adversely affected by the weather when not in use or when
being conveyed.
