2 8.2 Emergency Preparedness Procedure for spills and leaks. PURPOSE To provide instruction on procedures to be followed in the event of a spill or leak which may pose a pollution risk to the ground, surface water drainage system and/or adjoining brooks. SCOPE This procedure applies to all incidents on the Loughborough University site as defined within the EMS Manual including tenanted areas. NOTE Departments with specialist labs requiring more detailed and/or stringent procedures should prepare these locally taking into account the guidance within this document. An example of this is the Wolfson School who have specialist procedures for their Hazardous Waste Store due to its contents as well as their CBE and PCB Labs. CONTENTS External Spills 1.

3 EXTERNAL SPILLS 1. Introduction: These procedures have been identified as measures to prevent, limit or reduce damage to the environment and risk to public health from a spill. It s obviously better to stop a spill happening than to have to clean up afterwards. This means ensuring products, materials and chemicals are delivered, stored, transported and disposed of correctly. This starts with your (M)SDS and CoSHH Assessments. There are also specific operational controls available for: Transporting Liquids Protecting Campus Drains Oil or Fuel Storage The Management of Laboratory Reagents, Chemicals and Solvents Please familiarise yourself with these and keep abreast of any other Operational Controls on our website. Many different materials can cause harm if they re spilt and enter the environment, some of these we can clearly identify as harmful, such as chemicals, pesticides, paints, inks and oils. But many things we don t see as harmful can still have a devastating effect on the environment, for example beverages, food products, detergents, and dairy products. The impacts can include: the closure of public water supplies and other abstractions; damage to wetland habitats, fisheries and river ecosystems; disruption of recreational and other river uses; groundwater contamination; land contamination; risk to and impacts on human health. These impacts can be immediate and long lasting, but sometimes the effect can take longer to be recognised, especially if groundwater has been polluted. Pollutants can escape into the environment from our site via different routes, including: Through the surface water drainage system. Direct run-off into a watercourse - we have several brooks and ponds on campus Through the soil or via soakaways, drains or damaged surfaces to groundwater. Through the foul sewer system, where pollutants may discharge through storm overflows to surface waters, they could pass through the sewage treatment works or reduce the performance of the works so it can t treat sewage properly. For England, the Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) Regulations 2015 require people who operate an economic activity to prevent or limit the environmental damage they cause. Spills often happen when we re least expecting them. Causes include: overfilling or poor handling of storage containers, for example drums, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) and tanks; damaged or leaking storage containers; pipework, equipment and containment failure, both above and underground; a collision or accident during transport or delivery; weather related problems, including flooding or high wind damage or extremes of temperature; fires or explosions; deliberate acts.

4 2. In the event of an incident In the event of an incident there is a pollution control hierarchy, this is indicated below. We will use the hierarchy in this procedure as a guide to actions. 2.1 Contain at Source The most effective place to stop a spill is where the spill is happening, at the source. If the primary container or secondary containment have been breached or failed for any reason, try to contain the spill where it s happening. This will reduce the quantity of material released, meaning there s less spilt material that can cause pollution. This might be achieved by temporarily sealing the hole whilst more permanent measures can be arranged clamping something over the leak turning a leaking drum so that the hole is above the level of the contents putting a leaking container in a larger container or bunded facility closing taps or valves on pipework to stop the material flowing 2.2 Contain close to the Source When it is not possible to achieve the above the next line of defence for small spills is to try and soak up the spill using absorbents, these are usually available as loose granules, sheets/pads, pillows or booms. They can be used to soak up a spill and stop it spreading. There are different types of absorbents available, grey denotes a general maintenance absorbent, white an oil only absorbent (i.e. it doesn t absorb water) and yellow an absorbent suitable for anything including strong chemicals. So there will be a range of different absorbent materials across the site. All used absorbents must be disposed of as hazardous waste as they adopt the characteristics of the liquid they absorb. Copyright Loughborough University Page 4 of 15
5 2.3 Contain on the surface If the spill is spreading and you can t safely or effectively contain it near to its source, aim to stop the material getting into the drainage system, streams or onto any unsurfaced ground. Once a spill has been contained, it s easier to remove or transfer into a suitable temporary container to stop it causing more contamination; this should be done as soon as it s safe to do so. To help prevent spills reaching drains, watercourses and unsurfaced ground the following measures can be applied: Socks - can be used to divert or contain spills on hard surfaces. These absorbent booms can soak up a spill and stop it flowing any further. Drain mats - seal a drain by covering the surface of a manhole cover or drainage gully. They stop liquid flowing into the drainage system and help contain it. There are different types, including clay mats (single use) and polyurethane (reusable). Drain mats should generally be kept close to where they might be used. Sandbags, sandbanks or soilbanks - can also be used for larger spills but depending upon the nature of the spill may cause contamination of the material, better this than the water course though. Using any of the afore mentioned materials to build a protective wall around the drain itself (as per the middle image above) can sometimes be the best form of containment. 2.4 Contain in the drain If the spill has spread so far that it s already entered the drainage system, try to keep it there and stop it entering the environment. Seek advice from the FM Builders regarding closing or isolating drainage sections to act as a temporary holding tank. If there are no valves in the area of the spill to enable this then pipe blockers can be used. When choosing this option, consider the nature of the material and whether it would cause an explosive atmosphere within the drainage system. Also consider whether the drains are resistant to the material and can provide enough capacity to contain any possible spill. Advice will also be required as to what may happen to overflows from gullies and other entry or exit points to the drainage system. Contaminated liquid may back up and discharge through storm overflows, collect in areas of the site or overflow and bypass the drainage system. How this might be managed will also depend upon the weather conditions high rainfall will render any use or control of material in the drain almost impossible. 2.5 Contain on or in the watercourse This is the last resort in the pollution control hierarchy and is where the leak has already managed to enter the watercourse. This is the situation with the highest environmental risk and constitutes a major incident. The impact can still be mitigated and managed through the following course of actions: Copyright Loughborough University Page 5 of 15
6 If the spilt material floats on water, for example oil, you may be able to put a river boom across the water at the point of the spill and / or where the watercourse leaves our site. If the spilt material mixes with water, you ll need to block the whole flow of the watercourse by damming it. When you select the booming place or think about damning, you must take account of: Buried services, for example electricity cables or oil pipes, to make sure these won t be hit when the booms are secured. How fast the watercourse flows; too fast and the spilt material will wash past, over or under the boom. Variation in flows at different times of the year. How a tanker may gain access to the side of the watercourse to remove the collected material. This image shows the potential types of booms and damns which can be deployed in rivers: OVERPUMPING FROM UPSTREAM TO REDUCE WATER FLOW THROUGH CONTAMINATED AREA POLLUTION CONTAINMENT OPTIONS WATER FLOW PLANK DAMN TO STOP WATER FLOW THROUGH CONTAMINATED AREA SOLID BOUYANCY BOOM SECURE ANCHOR POINTS FLOATING BOOM ABSORBENT BOOM PIPE DAMN - SAND BAG DAMN WITH PIPE RUNNING THROUGH BELOW CONTAMINATION Appendix 4 provides further detail on suitable boom / damning points. However in the event of pollution getting into the water course you must: A) Notify Security, who will co-ordinate the overall incident by: a. Notifying the Environmental Manager or in their absence the Sustainability Manager. This person will manage all subsequent steps of this procedure, however others may need to support or cover for these individuals and should therefore be familiar with the requirements. b. Notifying the FM Incident Manger c. A decision will then be made between all three parties whether to notify a member of the University Executive. B) Endeavour to prevent continued pollution and/or a recurrence. Copyright Loughborough University Page 6 of 15
7 C) Instigate an immediate clean up response. Facilities Management may be able to deal with smaller incidents but for a significant or complicated incident external contractors may be required. We are currently signed up for support via OHES Environmental and the number to call in the event of an incident is: Quote Ref: OHES offer a 3 step Service: Step 1: Call - Report the spill and their expert incident advisors will give free advice over the phone on practical measures to minimise the impact. They will work with the University to decide whether an emergency response is required and whether notification of regulatory authorities is advised. Step 2: Mobilisation their response team will mobilise to our incident from the nearest response depot (Leicester) and will keep us appraised of an ETA. Telephone support will continue during this time. Where required they will also mobilise an expert Incident Manager to provide onsite advice and direction. Step 3: Clean Up - Their UKSpill Accredited Response team will physically contain and recover spilled product in the most efficient and effective manner. Using their extensive range of environment protection equipment, techniques and huge experience they will take steps to protect the environment, property and human health. External agency involvement: In the event of an incident various external agencies may need to be involved, some of which may take charge of an incident, these may include: Police who would take command and control of a chemical incident on a highway Local authority environmental health pollution incidents effecting the air Fire and Rescue Service fire or RTC resulting in pollution Environment Agency Flood, water course or environmental damage 3. Equipment Spill equipment is stored in numerous places on campus including but not limited to: The FM Yard Security, the Environmental Manager and the Health & Safety Office Stewart Miller Building Chemistry Materials Engineering Chemical Engineering The equipment on site includes: Oil only absorbents (white) Maintenance absorbents (grey) Chemical absorbents (yellow) Absorbent granules Drain covers River booms (oil only white) Training in spill kit use is available to those likely to respond to an incident. Copyright Loughborough University Page 7 of 15
8 In the event of an incident where spill and pollution control equipment isn t readily available, you may be able to contain a spill by using materials around such as: salvage sheets or tarpaulin and wooden planks to create a temporary boom in a river; fire hoses used as a boom; a shovel to spread sand or earth onto small spillages or to construct a dam; a car foot well mat or a sheet of polythene, weighed down with sand or earth as a drain seal. 4. Emergency Procedures and Contacts This section outlines emergency spill response procedures as part of the overall Loughborough University Emergency Plan. The procedures have been prepared in accordance with University Policy, are approved by the University Health, Safety & Environment Committee and as such are to be adhered to by all staff. Internal Spill Procedure this is detailed in Appendix 1. Whilst there is less environmental risk with an internal spill it is imperative that these procedures are followed for Health, Property and Environmental Safety. This procedure covers both minor and major spills. Please print this off and laminate it. It should be readily available in all laboratories. It can also be kept with spill response kits. External Spill Procedure this is detailed in Appendix 2. External spills pose a significant environmental risk but it is imperative that these procedures are followed for Health, Property and Environmental Safety. Please print this off and laminate it. It should be readily available in areas where external spills may occur such as delivery areas and external stores. It can also be kept with spill response kits. Security Procedure this is detailed in Appendix 3. This supports both the Internal and External spill procedures as well as providing Security staff with guidance on their responsibilities in the event of spills. In the event of a contamination of the brook (by us or others) Appendix 4 highlights some of the key points where oil booms can be deployed to contain oil / fuel pollution or in the event of a pollution by another substance where sandbags may be deployed to create a damn enabling the contamination to be contained. In such an instance a contractor would need to be brought onto site to extract the water from the damned pool. This would either need to be tankered away or transferred to a foul drain. In the event of a major incident (internal or external) a response team will need to be brought together to manage the University s response. This will vary dependent upon the incident but will primarily consist of staff drawn from the following: The Health & Safety Office o Neil Budworth, Health, Safety & Risk Manager o Hugh Weaver, Deputy Health & Safety Manager o Rod Harrison, Fire Officer o Julie Turner, Radiation, Biological and Chemical Safety Officer The Environmental Manager (Nik Hunt) Facilities Management (for spillages entering drains) Security (co-ordinating call outs and maintaining security) Publicity Department Copyright Loughborough University Page 8 of 15
9 Chemistry Specialist School and/or Departmental Safety Officer The range and quantity of hazardous substances used in the work site requires preplanning to prevent accidental spills and to respond safely to a spill, should it occur. Under Loughborough University policy and procedures, the responsibility for the safe handling, use, storage and disposal of hazardous materials rests with the user of the materials.
