AvoidWhat Do I Stay Away From?

Don’t assume anything

Don’t become a

victimDon’t rush in

Don’t TEST (Taste, Eat,

Smell, Touch)

The 4 Don’ts

Isolate

Keep others away from hazard area

Notify

Immediate Supervisor Hospital Emergency

Phone Number

Remember RAIN! Recognize, Avoid, Isolate, Notify

RAIN! Example #1 Recognize: Suspicious Package Avoid: Do not touch object Isolate: Contain the area &

keep others away from hazard area

Notify: Call for help

RAIN! Example #2

Recognize: Chemical Spill Avoid: Do not touch, taste, or smell Isolate: Contain the scene & keep

others away from hazard area Notify: Call for help

Industrial Disaster Management Cycle: OECD

What to do? How to do? Is there any way exists?

Disaster Management Planning both on-site (Schedule 11) and off-site (Schedule 12) of MS&IHC Rules 1989 of EPA 1986 with following components:A. Risk Assessment & Management

B. Emergency Preparedness

C. Community Dialogue

Part one Disaster Impact Assessment

Toxic release, heat fluxes, pressure waves

Risk Assessment & Management

1. evaluate range of potential incidents (without considering possible causes)

2. put mitigation in place for foreseeable ones

3. evaluate community consequences for range of incidents,

a) credible worst case- largest tank or worst failure consequence- reasonable duration of release- passive mitigation in effect- credible worst weather

b) worst imaginable case- largest tank or worst failure consequence- worst possible duration or release- no mitigation- worst possible weather
