Action to be taken by the First Person noticing the Fire/Leakage /Failure:
a) If it is a small fire, try to extinguish with fire extinguishers.
b) After noticing the fire, immediately call for assistance by shouting “Fire Fire” or by using
telephone facilities inform shift in-charge on intercom.
c) Inform security on intercom
Whenever disaster occurs, the incident should be communicated to the concerned authority in
minimum possible time, in case of failure of a means of communication due to electrical failure an
officer should rush to the nearest public telephone booth/ police station to transmit message through
line or police wireless.
During office hours on a working day
During office hours on working days senior most executive in the factory will take the charge of site main
controller in case of any emergency. In case of incident controller is not present in the factory production

1.3.3 Communication
Walkies & Talkies are located at strategic locations; internal telephone system EPBX with external P&T
telephones are provided.
statutory and insurance requirement of Tariff Advisory Committee (TAC) of India. The complete fire
protection system comprises of the following.
(a) Fire brigade
Automatic / manual fire detection & alarm system
(b) Fire Hydrant
Fire hydrant will be provided at all around in the plant as per TAC Norms.
(c) Portable fire extinguishers
Various areas of the plant will have one or more of the above system depending upon the particular nature
of risk involved in that area.
(d) Portable chemical fire extinguishers
These are intended as a first line of defense, and hence are stationed at strategic locations in different
buildings and also for outdoor facilities. Portable fire extinguishers are of foam type; carbon dioxide type and
multipurpose dry chemical (MPDC) type.
(e) Fire detection and alarm system
Fire detection and alarm system an effective means of detection, visual indication of fire location and audible
alarm of any fire at its incipient stage. This system will comprise fire alarm panels, automatic fire detectors,
manual call points and fire siren (hooter).
The main fire alarm panel provides both visual and audible alarm of fire in any protected areas of the plant.
Manual break glass type fire alarms are provided at strategic locations where high hazards exits.
Automatic fire detectors are provided in plant areas such as control rooms, switchgear rooms, cable galleries
etc.
Evacuation Procedure
If it becomes necessary to have an emergency evacuation the Emergency Controller will make the decision.
On sounding of the emergency siren the employees are expected to move to the Emergency Assembly point
(main gate). This excludes the emergency staff. Emergency Controller will give instructions for evacuation by
the emergency staff, which will then proceed to the assembly point.
If there are employees left behind in different sections, the Incident controller will organize a rescue.Decision
to allow reentry shall be taken by the Emergency Controller.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) This equipment is used mainly for three reasons; to protect personnel
from a hazard while performing rescue/accident control operations, to do maintenance and repair work
under hazardous conditions, and for escape purposes.
Mock Drill
Mock Drill is being/should be carried out at a minimum frequency of once every six-month.
External mock drill with external authorities at an annual frequency is desirable.
Training
Adequate training is being/to be given to all JundlaTeam Members including regular Contractors and
Security. Special Training is being/to be given to the Emergency Task Force on Area Specific Emergency
Response. Specific training is being/to be given to Security for normal as well as Nightshift Emergency
Response.
Rehearsal and Updating of Plan
Emergency plans need to be tested when first devised and thereafter to be rehearsed at suitable intervals.
Individual personnel with duties under the plan should be qualified by exercise which will help to refine the
procedures by identifying deficiencies, difficulties and monitoring response time. To create awareness about
safety and emergency response procedure among the personnel, mock drill should preferably be carried out
monthly.
Rehearsals or exercise are important for all personnel likely to be involved in an accident on or off the site
because:
I. They familiarize on-site personnel with their roles, their equipment and the details of the plans.
II. They allow the professional emergency services to test their parts at the plan and the co-ordination
of all the different organizations.
III. They provide the current accuracy of the details of the plan (telephone numbers etc.) and the
availability of special equipment (fire and rescue breathing sets etc.)
IV. They give experience and build confidence in the team members. In the initial shock and confusion
of real incident, the ability to fall back on established initial actions are invaluable.
The on-site emergency procedures for each process plant, storage facility etc. should be tested regularly and
that all employees receive initial and refresher training, exercise should be arranged to test each part of the
emergency plan on each plant, stage by stage. Emergency isolation and shut down should be rehearsed.
After each rehearsal or practice, the plan should be reviewed to take account of any shortcomings
highlighted by the exercise.
1. He will assess the scale of emergency and send information to the Emergency Controller through
phone or through any of the emergency task force member
2. Direct the safe shutting down of operations and try to minimize the damage to plant property and
environment.
3. Ensure that all key personnel and help from fire brigade/first aiders/hospitals are called for through
Emergency Controller
4. Co-ordinate operations on Incident Site.
5. Assume duties of Emergency Controller until he is in position. In particular ensuring that emergency
services and key personnel on site are informed of the situation.
6. Communicate continually with Emergency Controller and inform all developments as appropriate.
7. Conduct search for casualties.
8. Liaise with Emergency Task Force during the incident.
9. Ensure that any evidence which may be required for further investigation is Preserved.
11. Ensure that after cessation of emergency, emergency task force members are safe
Home guards
Voluntary Agencies.

Either way, the plan must identify an emergency coordinating officer who would take overall command of the
off-site activities. Consideration of evacuation may include the following factors:
In the case of a major fire but without explosion risk (e.g. an oil storage tank), only houses close to the
fire are likely to need evacuation
If fire is escalating very fast it is necessary to evacuate people nearby as soon as possible
In acute emergency people are advised to stay indoors and shield themselves from the fire.
Non-governmental Organizations (NGO) NGO's could provide a valuable source of expertise and
information to support emergency response efforts. Members of NGOs could assist response personnel by
performing specified tasks, as planned during the emergency planning process.
• Evacuation of personnel from the affected area
• Arrangements at rallying posts and parking yards
• Rehabilitation of evacuated persons
Chemical information Details of the hazardous substances (MSDS information) and a summary of the risks
associated with them are to be made available at respective site.

before it is communicated to public.
• Public health authorities will be consulted when issuing statements to the media concerning health
aspects of chemical accidents
• Members of the media are to facilitate response efforts by providing means for informing the public
with credible information about accidents involving hazardous substances
Role of health care authorities
• Hospitals and doctors must be ready to treat all type of injuries to causalities during emergency.
• Co-ordinate the activities of Primary Health Centres and Municipal Dispensaries to ensure required
quantities of drugs and equipment
