On
site and offsite emergency plans on chemical disaster
Why Emergency Planning is required?
What is emergency?
(i)
Plant failure.
(ii)
Human error.
(iii)
Vehicle crash.
(iv)
Sabotage.
(v)
Earthquake.
(vi)
Natural Calamities.
On-site Emergency:-
If an accident/ incident takes place in a factory,
its effects are confined to the factory premises, involving only the persons
working in the factory and the property inside the factory it is called as
On-site Emergency.
Off-site Emergency:-
If the accident is such that it affects inside the
factory are uncontrollable and it may spread outside the factory premises, it
is called as Off-site Emergency.
Objectives:- The main objectives of an
emergency plan are-
a. to control and contain the
incident/ accident and if possible, eliminate it and
b. to minimize the effects of
the incident on person, property and environment.
Each major hazardous factory should prepare an
emergency plan incorporating details of action to be taken in case of any major
accident/ disaster occurring inside the factory. The plan should cover all
types of major accident/ occurrences and identify the risk involved in the
plant. Mock drills on the plan should be carried out periodically to make the
plan foolproof and persons are made fully prepared to fight against any
incident in the plant. The plan will vary according to the type of industry and
emergency.
Statutory Provision:-
After the Bhopal gas tragedy (1984) and supreme
court direction in case of M/S. Sriram Foods and Fertilizers, the Govt. of
India has made some important amendments to the Factories Act 1948 in the year
1987 with incorporation of special provisions relating to hazardous process.
Under Section 41(B)(4) every occupier is to prepare On-site Emergency Plan and
detailed disaster control measures for his factory. Again under provision of
Rule 13 of the Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rules
1989, the occupier shall prepare and keep up to date On-site Emergency plan
containing details how major accidents will be dealt with on the site on which the
industrial activity is carried on and that plan shall include the name of the
person who is responsible for safety on the site and names of those who are
authorized to take action in accordance with the plan in case of emergency.
