26 Incident Response - Emergency Response Plan Section 1 - Overview 1.0 Scope This Practice outlines the comprehensive Emergency Response Plan (ERP) to protect the public and the criteria for assessing an emergency situation. 2.0 References COMP Reference Emergency Response Plan Section 2 - Initial Response Emergency Response Plan Section 3 - Responder Checklist SPI Reference Other Reference 3.0 General 4.0 Other Considerations 24

27 Incident Response - Emergency Response Plan Section 1 - Overview 1.1 Purpose An Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is a comprehensive plan to protect the public that includes criteria for assessing an emergency situation and procedures for mobilizing response personnel and agencies and for establishing communication and coordination among the parties. It is a key component of emergency preparedness and response. An ERP addresses emergency scenarios, potential hazards to the public, and systems required for an effective response. The purpose of emergency preparedness and response is to establish a decision framework and action plan so that the licensee can quickly and effectively respond to an emergency. The goals of an ERP are to: Enhance the safety of the public, company personnel (including contractors), the environment and property. Provide company personnel with established procedures to respond to an emergency. Provide company personnel with access to critical information required to respond to an emergency. Eliminate or minimize the effects that incidents have on company operations. 25

28 Incident Response - Emergency Response Plan Section 1 - Overview Priority Sequence To ensure a competent response to an emergency, all required actions must be conducted under the following priorities. This priority sequence follows the principle that in order for personnel to effectively respond, their safety must first be assured. 1 PERSONNEL SAFETY 2 PUBLIC SAFETY 3 PROPERTY & ENVIRONMENT Priorities 1. Protect Lives Treat the injured. Warn personnel and members of the public. Protect animals. 2. Implement Protective Actions Evacuate or shelter people from the effects of the emergency. Isolate hazard areas. Provide security for property, especially in evacuated areas. 3. Protect Property & Environment Save the environment and property from destruction. Prevent further contamination to the environment or property. Restore utilities. Restore field and corporate operations infrastructure. 26

29 Incident Response - Emergency Response Plan Section 1 - Overview Intent The intent of this plan is to provide the holder with practical tools that will assist them through the complexities of the Preparedness and Response principles of Emergency Management. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT MITIGATION PREPARDENESS RESPONSE RECOVERY Emergencies may require departments to perform extraordinary functions. In these situations, every attempt will be made to preserve organizational integrity and assign tasks which closely match the normal tasks of each involved department. It may be necessary to draw on employees basic capacities and use them in areas of greatest need. Normal operations that do not contribute directly to the emergency operation may be suspended or redirected for the duration of any emergency. 27

30 Incident Response - Emergency Response Plan Section 1 - Overview 1.2 Incident Response Cycle STEP 1 SIZE UP THE SITUATION STEP 6 TAKE ACTION STEP 2 IDENTIFY CONTINGENCIES INCIDENT STEP 5 DEVELOP AN ACTION PLAN STEP 3 DETERMINE OBJECTIVES & STRATEGIES STEP 4 IDENTIFY NEEDED RESOURCES 28

31 Incident Response - Emergency Response Plan Section 1 - Overview Step 1: Assess the Situation What is the nature of the incident? What hazards are present? What resources are on site? What is the risk to response personnel and the public? Are there injured people who need to be treated or assisted? Are public warnings or protective measures required? How large an area is involved? Will the area be isolated? What location would be an appropriate staging area? Identify appropriate entrance/exit routes. Step 2: Identify Contingencies What may have caused the incident to occur? What could happen to make the situation worse? Step 3: Determine Objectives and Strategies What to do and how to do it. Step 4: Identify Needed Resources What resources are needed? Request additional resources, as needed. Where will they be obtained and how long will it take to obtain them? Step 5: Develop an Action Plan Assign resources to tactical objectives, while considering logistics. Ensure appropriate safety and personnel protective measures are implemented. Ensure that appropriate agencies and/or personnel with expertise and capability to carry out the Action Plan have been contacted. Step 6: Take Action Implement plan, supervise and coordinate. Reevaluate the situation. If the incident is on-going, begin again at Step 1. 29

32 Incident Response - Emergency Response Plan Section 1 - Overview 1.3 Command and Control Command and control aims to reduce the amount of uncertainty during response actions and is the means by which a Commander: Recognizes what needs to be accomplished and arrives at decisions. Makes their will known. Ensures that appropriate actions are taken and completed. Command and Control is the most important activity in emergency response. It provides the best means of success in a complex, uncertain, and time-competitive environment. Though not a substitute for adequate resources, effective Command and Control provides focus, speed, coordination and momentum to the actions of the Command Teams and allows Commanders to make the most of what they have. 1.4 Incident Command System TransGas and SaskEnergy s response structure follows the concepts of the Incident Command System (ICS). The ICS design structure is suitable for both limited and complex incidents. ICS is the combination of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications operating within a common organizational structure, designed to aid in the management of resources during emergency operations. The scale of the emergency will determine if the event is handled solely by one person, one team, or all components. The size or number of response roles activated will depend on the requirements of the emergency. Additionally, response roles may be filled by responders from outside agencies and/or support services. Therefore, the number of response positions assigned to TransGas and SaskEnergy representatives will be based upon the number of available personnel and the roles necessary to carry out the response. Responders may also fill more than one response role until additional responders arrive and are briefed on their assigned responsibilities. 30

33 Incident Response - Emergency Response Plan Section 1 - Overview The ICS organization is comprised around the following components: COMMAND SAFETY LIAISON PUBLIC INFORMATION PLANNING OPERATIONS LOGISTICS FINANCE Key ICS Principles Flexible organizational structure with role descriptions. Ability to respond to small or large multi-agency incidents. Common terminology. An integrated communications system. A manageable span of control a supervisor can only effectively manage a certain number of personnel three to seven with an optimal ratio of five personnel to one supervisor. A personnel and resources accountability system. Designated incident facilities. Use of incident action plans. Unity of Command each person reports to only one supervisor. Chain of Command orderly line of authority Benefits of Using ICS Only those positions or functions which are needed are activated. More than one position may be assigned to an individual. ICS organizational structure does not change with changes in personnel. Unified Command. 31

34 Incident Response - Emergency Response Plan Section 1 - Overview Unity of Command The ICS structure supports the concept of unity of command; which means every individual has only one designated supervisor. The ICS structure is built with a clear chain of command that demonstrates an orderly line of authority within the system Span of Control Span of control determines how many organizational elements can be effectively managed by a single individual. ICS supports a span of control between three and seven, with an optimal number of five elements directly reporting to an individual. If the number of units reporting to an individual falls outside of the 3 and 7 range, the ICS structure should be expanded or consolidated accordingly Unified Command Large scale incidents may require the use of a unified command, involving TransGas and SaskEnergy, regulatory bodies and local authorities. Unified command enables multiple agencies to manage an incident together by having a common set of objectives and strategies. This also allows joint decisions to be made within a single command structure. 1.5 Emergency Response Structure Incident Command Team The Incident Command Team is directly involved in responding to incidents at the field site. They implement the ERP, and provide tactical command, focusing on worker safety, public safety and site response /control measures. The Incident Commander manages the response efforts assigned to the Incident Command Team Corporate Command Team The Corporate Command Team provides tactical direction for response and recovery operations. Their purpose is to act in an advisory and support role to the Incident Command Team. The Corporate Command Team is usually comprised of corporate management and staff, responsible for monitoring and analyzing any situation that may threaten employees, public safety, property and/or the environment. The Corporate Commander manages the response efforts assigned to the Corporate Command Team. 32

35 1.5.3 Emergency Operations Centre Construction, Operations and Maintenance Practices Incident Response - Emergency Response Plan Section 1 - Overview An Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) is defined as an operations centre established in a suitable location to manage the larger aspects of an emergency. In a high-impact emergency, there may be a number of EOCs established to support the response. These may include the regional and corporate EOCs, a municipal EOC (MEOC), and the provincial government EOC (GEOC). For the purposes of this ERP TransGas and SaskEnergy s regional EOC is referred to as the Incident Command Centre (ICC) and TransGas and SaskEnergy s Corporate EOC is referred to as the Corporate Command Centre (CCC). Notification and activation of the TransGas and SaskEnergy EOCs will normally occur at the following levels of emergency. MINOR SERIOUS MAJOR INCIDENT COMMAND TEAM INCIDENT COMMAND TEAM INCIDENT COMMAND TEAM Establish On-Site Command Post Establish On-Site Command Post Establish On-Site Command Post Establish Incident Command Centre, if required Establish Incident Command Centre Establish Incident Command Centre CORPORATE COMMAND TEAM CORPORATE COMMAND TEAM CORPORATE COMMAND TEAM Normally not activated during a Minor Incident Establish Corporate Command Centre, if required Establish Corporate Command Centre 33

42 Incident Response - Emergency Response Plan Section 2 - Initial Response 2.3 Reporting and Notification Procedures Emergency Reporting and Notification Procedures TransGas and SaskEnergy must contact the local authority, RCMP/police, health authority, government agencies, environmental regulatory agencies and support services required to assist with initial response, if the hazardous spill/release goes offsite and has the potential to impact the public. N o After contacting initial responders, TransGas and SaskEnergy must notify the Ministry of Economy to convey the specifics of the incident. In addition, if the spill or releases impacts other property owners, the Ministry of Environment requires notification, including Ministry of Economy regulated sites. Note that the Ministry of Economy does not have jurisdiction over spills and releases related to distribution operations and infrastructure. TransGas and SaskEnergy will notify those members of the public within the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ), if applicable, who have requested early notification or have indicated that they have special needs requiring additional attention, once public protection measures are implemented. Public Protection beyond the Emergency Planning Zone In the unlikely event that public protection measures are required beyond the EPZ, they will be conducted in accordance with the TransGas and SaskEnergy s arrangement with the local authority, which may include the use of Broadband Media. 40

90 5.3 Roles and Responsibilities Construction, Operations and Maintenance Practices Incident Response National Energy Board (NEB) Incident Reporting Procedure 1. The National Energy Board (NEB) shares responsibility with the Transportation Safety Board for incident investigation. The NEB investigates pipeline incidents to determine whether its regulations have been followed and if those regulations may need to be changed. The Transportation Safety Board investigates the cause and contributing factors. The NEB also monitors excavation activity by third parties near pipelines to ensure compliance with existing regulations. 2. The NEB s top priority in any emergency is to make sure that people are safe and secure, and that property and the environment are protected. Any time there is a serious incident, NEB Inspectors may attend the site to oversee a company s immediate response and to ensure that all reasonable actions are taken to protect employees, the public and the environment. Further, the NEB will verify that the regulated company conducts adequate and appropriate clean-up and remediation of any environmental effects caused by the incident. 3. As lead regulatory agency, the NEB: a. Monitors, observes and assesses the overall effectiveness of the company s emergency response in terms of: i. Emergency management ii. Safety iii. Security iv. Environment v. Integrity of operations and facilities vi. Energy supply b. Investigates the event, either in cooperation with the Transportation Safety Board under the Canada Labour Code, or as per the NEB or COGO Acts (whichever is applicable). c. Inspects the pipeline or facility. 88

91 Incident Response National Energy Board (NEB) Incident Reporting Procedure a. Examines the integrity of the pipeline or facility. b. Requires appropriate repair methods are being used. c. Requires appropriate environmental remediation of contaminated area is conducted. d. Co-ordinates stakeholder and First Nations feedback regarding environmental clean-up and remediation. e. Confirms that a company is following its Emergency Procedures Manual commitments, plans and procedures, and NEB regulations and identifies noncompliances. f. Initiates enforcement actions as required. g. Approves the restart of the pipeline. 89

95 Natural Gas (Odorized) MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Date of Preparation: June 28, 2013 Flammability: Means of Extinction Suitable Extinguishing Media: Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Products of Combustion: Protection of Firefighters : Explosion Data Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Section 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Extremely flammable gas. Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated. Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Will form explosive mixtures with air. May accumulate in confined spaces, resulting in explosion or toxic hazard. CAUTION: Methane (UN1971) is lighter than air and will rise. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Cylinders exposed to fire may vent and release flammable gas through pressure relief devices. Containers may explode when heated. Natural gas will typically dissipate in open air; however, in enclosed environments it can accumulate and travel considerable distances and cause a flash back fire and explosion.do NOT EXTINGUISH A LEAKING GAS FIRE UNLESS LEAK CAN BE STOPPED. Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance or a protected location. If a pipeline is involved in a fire, consider an initial evacuation for 1600 meters (1 mile) in all directions. Approach fire from upwind. Stop flow of gas if safe to do so. Fire involving Pipelines: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Do not direct water at source of leak or safety devices; icing may occur. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of piping systems. Cool piping with flooding quantities of water until fire is out. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. Small Fire: Dry chemical or CO2. Large Fire: Water spray or fog. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Not available. Oxides of carbon. Leaking gas fire: Do not extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. Vapors may cause dizziness or asphyxiation without warning. Some may be irritating if inhaled at high concentrations. Contact with gas or liquefied gas may cause burns, severe injury and/or frostbite. Fire may produce irritating and/or toxic gases. Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural firefighters' protective clothing will only provide limited protection. Always wear thermal protective clothing when handling refrigerated/cryogenic liquids. This material is not sensitive to mechanical impact. This material is sensitive to static discharge. 93

96 Natural Gas (Odorized) MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Date of Preparation: June 28, 2013 Emergency Procedures: Personal Precautions: Environmental Precautions: Methods for Containment: Methods for Clean-Up: Other Information: Section 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Small Spills: Remove all ignition sources. Ventilate area of leak. Stop flow of gas if safe to do so. Use constant monitoring for explosion and reduced oxygen hazards in air until the gas has dissipated below the lower explosive limits. Large Spills: Call emergency response telephone number. As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area for at least 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. Keep unauthorized personnel away. Stay upwind. Many components of natural gas are heavier than air and will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Keep out of low areas. ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Use personal protection recommended in Section 8. Not normally required. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors or divert vapor cloud drift. Avoid allowing water runoff to contact spilled material. Do not direct water at spill or source of leak. Prevent spreading of vapors through sewers, ventilation systems and confined areas. Isolate area until gas has dispersed. CAUTION: When in contact with refrigerated/cryogenic liquids, many materials become brittle and are likely to break without warning. See Section 13 for disposal considerations. Section 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling: Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces. No smoking. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Pressurized container: Do not cut, puncture, or weld on or near these containers without assessing the hazards and using appropriate procedures. Do not breathe mist, vapors, or spray. Avoid repeated and/or prolonged skin exposure. Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Waterless hand cleansers are effective. Promptly remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. See Section 8 for information on Personal Protective Equipment. Storage: Store in a well-ventilated place. Store only in approved containers. Keep containers tightly closed and store locked up. Protect from sunlight, heat, sparks, open flames and other sources of ignition. Store away from incompatible materials. See Section 10 for information on Incompatible Materials. Be sure the location is clearly identified, well-illuminated, clear of obstruction and accessible only to trained and authorized personnel. Use a non-sparking 94

97 ventilation system, explosion-proof equipment, and intrinsically safe electrical systems. Inspect incoming containers to ensure that they are undamaged and properly labeled. Consider leak detection and alarm equipment for the storage area. Have appropriate fire extinguishing capability in the storage area. Keep out of the reach of children. 95

Natural gas Methane Ethane Nitrogen Propane Butane Carbon dioxide Pentane Isobutane Isopentane Hexane Inhalation: Eye Contact: Skin Contact: Ingestion: General Advice: Note to Physicians: Section 4: FIRST AID MEASURES Remove victim to fresh air if safe to do so. If victim is overcome, rescuer must determine if an oxygen deficient atmosphere caused the condition and may require the rescuer wear self-contained breathing apparatus to remove worker to fresh air. Keep the victim warm and at rest if they were subjected to an oxygen deficient atmosphere. If breathing or the heart stops, trained personnel should immediately begin artificial respiration (AR) or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) respectively. Get medical attention immediately. If in eyes: Rinse continuously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Immediately call a poison center or doctor. First aid for skin contact is not normally required however it is good practice to wash any chemical from the skin. Contact with rapidly expanding or liquefied gas may cause irritation and/or frostbite. If on skin: Wash with plenty of soap and water. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. Take off contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse. Remove non-adhering contaminated clothing. Do not remove adherent material or clothing. Not a normal route of exposure.

109 Natural Gas (Sweet) MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Date of Preparation: June 28, 2013 Flammability: Means of Extinction Suitable Extinguishing M edia: Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Products of Combustion: Protection of Firefighters : Explosion Data Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Section 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Extremely flammable gas. Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated. Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Will form explosive mixtures with air. May accumulate in confined spaces, resulting in explosion or toxic hazard. CAUTION: Methane (UN1971) is lighter than air and will rise. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Cylinders exposed to fire may vent and release flammable gas through pressure relief devices. Containers may explode when heated. Natural gas will typically dissipate in open air; however, in enclosed environments it can accumulate and travel considerable distances and cause a flash back fire and explosion.do NOT EXTINGUISH A LEAKING GAS FIRE UNLESS LEAK CAN BE STOPPED. Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance or a protected location. If a pipeline is involved in a fire, consider an initial evacuation for 1600 meters (1 mile) in all directions. Approach fire from upwind. Stop flow of gas if safe to do so. Fire involving Pipelines: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Do not direct water at source of leak or safety devices; icing may occur. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of piping systems. Cool piping with flooding quantities of water until fire is out. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. Small Fire: Dry chemical or CO2. Large Fire: Water spray or fog. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Not available. Oxides of carbon. Leaking gas fire: Do not extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. Vapors may cause dizziness or asphyxiation without warning. Some may be irritating if inhaled at high concentrations. Contact with gas or liquefied gas may cause burns, severe injury and/or frostbite. Fire may produce irritating and/or toxic gases. Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural firefighters' protective clothing will only provide limited protection. Always wear thermal protective clothing when handling refrigerated/cryogenic liquids. This material is not sensitive to mechanical impact. This material is sensitive to static discharge. 107

110 Natural Gas (Sweet) MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Date of Preparation: June 28, 2013 Emergency Procedures: Personal Precautions: Environmental Precautions: Methods for Containment: Methods for Clean-Up: Other Information: Section 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Small Spills: Remove all ignition sources. Ventilate area of leak. Stop flow of gas if safe to do so. Use constant monitoring for explosion and reduced oxygen hazards in air until the gas has dissipated below the lower explosive limits. Large Spills: Call emergency response telephone number. As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area for at least 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. Keep unauthorized personnel away. Stay upwind. Many components of natural gas are heavier than air and will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Keep out of low areas. ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Use personal protection recommended in Section 8. Not normally required. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors or divert vapor cloud drift. Avoid allowing water runoff to contact spilled material. Do not direct water at spill or source of leak. Prevent spreading of vapors through sewers, ventilation systems and confined areas. Isolate area until gas has dispersed. CAUTION: When in contact with refrigerated/cryogenic liquids, many materials become brittle and are likely to break without warning. See Section 13 for disposal considerations. Section 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling: Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces. No smoking. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Pressurized container: Do not cut, puncture, or weld on or near these containers without assessing the hazards and using appropriate procedures. Do not breathe mist, vapors, or spray. Avoid repeated and/or prolonged skin exposure. Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Waterless hand cleansers are effective. Promptly remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. See Section 8 for information on Personal Protective Equipment. Storage: Store in a well-ventilated place. Store only in approved containers. Keep containers tightly closed and store locked up. Protect from sunlight, heat, sparks, open flames and other sources of ignition. Store away from incompatible materials. See Section 10 for information on Incompatible Materials. Be sure the location is clearly identified, well-illuminated, clear of obstruction and accessible only to trained and authorized personnel. Use a non-sparking ventilation system, explosion-proof equipment, and intrinsically safe electrical systems. 108

111 Inspect incoming containers to ensure that they are undamaged and properly labeled. Consider leak detection and alarm equipment for the storage area. Have appropriate fire extinguishing capability in the storage area. Keep out of the reach of children. 109

113 Engineering Controls: PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) Eye/Face Protection: Hand Protection: Skin and Body Protection: Respiratory Protection: General Hygiene Considerations: Use ventilation adequate to keep exposures (airborne levels of dust, fume, vapour, gas, etc.) below established exposure limits and below explosive limits. Use makeup air to balance air removed from exhaust system. Where explosive mixtures may be present, electrical systems safe for such locations may be required (see appropriate electrical codes). Wear safety glasses. Wear protective gloves when prolonged skin exposure cannot be avoided. Flame retardant clothing should be worn in potentially flammable areas. If engineering controls and ventilation are not sufficient to control exposure to below the allowable limits then an appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved air-purifying respirator or self-contained breathing apparatus must be used. Supplied air breathing apparatus must be used when oxygen concentrations are low or if airborne concentrations exceed the limits of the air-purifying respirators. Handle according to established industrial hygiene and safety practices. 111
