emergency. Incident controller will give feed back of location to Site main
controller. Emergency /department coordinators will lead their respective teams for
emergency actions as instructed by Site main controller.
(c) Other Members of the emergency team should as far as practicable proceed

normal duties.
At TML site the most probable hazardous conditions those might generate an
emergency situation are as follows.
Medical Emergencies.
Major Fire hazards.
Leakage of cock oven gas
Natural disaster like Earth quake & cyclone.
Bomb Threat.
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 power supply.
The victim(s) should be rescued from the hazardous area and shifted to a safer place.
Provide First Aid to all injured employees regardless of severity.
Follow appropriate first aid methods as per nature of injury.

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
COG is toxic and flammable gas and has a very strong odor. Its toxic properties are due
to the presence of CO (typically 9% v/v) in the gas. COG has a specific gravity of 0.43
and therefore, is a very buoyant gas, which tends to disperse rapidly when released to
the atmosphere. The high concentration of hydrogen and methane in COG suggests that
the gas can be ignited by a low ignition energy (e.g., static). Therefore, the probability of
ignition of COG leaks is likely to be high relative to other flammable gases.
CO2 18.8%
H2O 12.5%
N2 36.3%
O2 3.8%
CO 0.9%
H2 0.6%
Action Required.
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.
8.4.2 Earthquake
Keep all cylinder in upright position and well tight with chain or other material to
restrict from falling.
