3.1 H2S Gas Leak
Hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) handling is one of the most deadly occupational hazards. When H2S gas is inhaled, it is rapidly absorbed by the lungs into the blood, which initially induces rapid breathing. This is followed by respiratory inactivity. At higher concentration, H 2S exerts an immediate paralyzing effect on the respiratory centers. Death due to asphyxia is a certain outcome, unless artificial respiration is promptly provided. This sequence of events represents the most important toxic effect of H2S. Hydrogen sulfide in low concentrations is easily recognized by its characteristic foul odor similar to rotten eggs. However, continued exposure will temporarily deaden ones ability to smell the gas. This leads to the person believing that the gas is gone when probably it is still there. Therefore, a person should always check with the gas detectors for actual gas concentration in the atmosphere. To determine the presence of H2S at the Central Building. PPEs must be maintained in good working condition and made available at all times. These include self-contained air breathing apparatus (SCABA), half mask respirators, safety glasses, safety gloves, safety boots, safety shoes, and water washing equipment. The mask must have good fit with all face types. within the plant site complex area, thirty
four (34) H2S Gas detectors were strategically installed and linked to the DCS

The investigation should be started shortly after the accident occurred by the supervisor because the site of accident is apt to change and the details are apt to disappear. o Identify the Witnesses. The supervisor shall ask witnesses to identify and document the names of others who were in the area at the time of the accident, so that all sources of the vital information can be contacted. 3. The General Affairs Manager shall: a. Monitor the accident as to the need to transfer victim to the RTNFI hospital. b. Assist the First Aiders and Rescuers in transporting the victim by assigning transport vehicle. (Please refer to the CBNC Safety and Health Program for 2008 for communication flow of the Accident Reporting requirement)
3.8.2 RESPONSES ON OCCUPATIONAL FATALITIES

A fatal accident is a possibility that no one likes to think about. If a fatality does occur, every supervisor needs to be prepared. 1. When a death occurs, MGB, insurance agencies, and others may conduct investigations. The company shall also conduct its own investigation. 2. Death investigations are more important than injury investigations. The company investigation will be a valuable contribution to the investigations of other agencies and may be needed as evidence. Here are the special guidelines for dealing with the investigation of a work-related death. Note: Immediately notify at least two of the individuals on the following list in the order presented if there is a fatality:

3.8.3 WHEN A FATALITY HAPPENS

1. The Supervisor shall: a. Never move a body. Only medico-legal officers are authorized to do that. However, it is acceptable (and desirable) to cover the body to keep it out of public view. b. Take as many photographs of the scene as possible. They may be valuable evidence in future investigations. Do not disturb any evidence. c. Under no circumstances shall any oral or written statements regarding any accident be given to anyone, without the express permission of the President of CBNC or his designee. d. Within the directions of the CBNC President, cooperate to the fullest with outside investigative bodies, i.e., the medico-legal officer, MGB, the insurance carrier and others. Since they may not be familiar with the plant operations, they will need information about the accident and the general CBNC work environment. e. When any correspondence or legal documents are received in reference to an accident, the originals are to be forwarded to the CBNC Legal department and telephone notification made as soon as possible. Do not release any medical record or death certificates.

3.9.3 CONDITIONS THAT WILL CALL FOR A DAM EMERGENCY

3.9.3.1 Heavy leachate seen coming out at the toe of the dam
a. Possible Cause 1 Hazard from weak foundation: The soil or rock at shallow depth below the dam has become too weak to support the dam, movement along a failure plane will occur. This may result in partial or complete failure of the dam. b. Possible Cause 2 Piping Piping occurs, if seepage within or beneath the embankment causes erosion along its flow path. Excessive piping may result in local or general failure of the embankment. 3.9.3.2 Discovery of cracks, slumping or gullies on: 1) the tailings beach, 2) the dam crest, or 3) the tailings dam embankment a. Possible cause 1 Hazard from earthquakes o Upstream tailings dams are known to have very poor properties during earthquakes. During cyclic mechanical stress, as experienced during earthquakes, the tailings slurries (including the material used for the dam) may liquefy. b. Possible cause 2 Bad construction on the portion of the dam o Quality assurance program for the technology and materials used, and for the construction process were problematical. c. Possible cause 3 Heavy Rains / Flooding and erosion of the slopes

3.10.2 General Emergency Response 1. Evacuate the immediate area while simultaneously ensuring that the radiation field and the extent of spread of contaminating radioactive materials are kept to an absolute minimum. 2. Initial response: cordon-off the area at the 20 Sv / hr (2 mRem / hr) level, or approximately 3 5m (9.8 16.4 ft) around the source holder. 3. Identify and immediately isolate all people who might have received high exposures or who could have been contaminated. In such cases, arrange for immediate: o Decontamination if necessary o Evaluation of personnel devices o Collections of body fluids for further analysis (blood, urine, etc) 4. Control entry to the scene of the accident by placing cordon at the 20 Sv / hr (2 mRem / hr) level, or approximately 3 5m (9.8 16.4 ft) and marking it with radiation hazard signs. This minimizes all subsequent exposures and additional contamination incidents.

8. Maintain complete records of the accident and follow-up procedures. 3.10.3 Typical Emergency Situations 3.10.3.1 STUCK SHUTTER A.1 During a Shutter Test 1. Leave the gauge where it is until you have contacted the manufacturer and the regulatory authority. One of the safest places for the gauge to be is in its mounted position. (Only licensed personnel are allowed to remove the gauge) 2. If the source holder is dirty or rusted, you can try cleaning the exterior with high pressure water or other methods and lubricate with penetrating oil that is compatible with the process. 3. Contact Ohmart for advice on whether to ship the gauge back or have a field service engineer come to repair it. A.2 When Process Line Needs Repair 1. Do not proceed with the job. 2. Contact Ohmart for advice. The source holder maybe cleaned using steam or high pressure water. 3. As a temporary solution to service the process line, you may be able to place enough shielding material in front of the source to lock the radiation. A.3 Loss or Theft 1. The discoverer will immediately inform the Shift Foreman about loss or theft of radioactive device. 2. Shift Foreman will inform the Production Manager who will then inform the RSHO/ARSHO and the Plant Manager. 3. The RSHO/ARSHO upon verification that there was a loss or theft of radioactive device will notify the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute immediately by telephone or fax:

RSHO/ARSHO will search the source holder using the following: o Know what you are looking for. Is the entire source holder missing, or just the stainless steel source capsule? Ask help from another person to know exactly what you are trying to find. o Use survey meter on the lowest scale during the search. Your first interest is to find any unusual radiation readings. After you have determined that there is a reading higher than the background, you can concentrate your search in that area. o Check all places where the source can hide from view. Look through trash, scrap, dumping areas, trucks and rail roads cars. 4. Continue a diligent search until the regulatory agency directs otherwise. 5. Response to vessel access while the source is ON 1. ARSHO will advise personnel to get out near the radioactive source. 2. ARSHO will determine how much time they spent in the tank and at what distance from the radioactive source. 3. RSHO/ARSHO will calculate their exposure either by measuring the radiation field in the tank or by using the equation. 4. RSHO/ARSHO will look up the activity and the isotope in the records and check on the label on the source holder. Remember to take the shielding of walls or wells into consideration; also, source decay may reduce the activity of the isotope.

5. RSHO/ARSHO will coordinate with General Affairs to arrange for medical examinations if the exposure is greater than 250,000 Sv / hr (25,000 mRem / hr), if he cannot determine the exposure or if the worker is concerned about his dose. 6. RSHO/ARSHO will notify the PNRI if anyone has received a dose greater than any allowable limit. A.4 Response to Source Holder Fall or Collision 1. The discoverer will immediately inform the Shift Foreman that the radioactive source holder had fall/damaged due to collision. 2. The Shift Foreman will then inform the Production Manager who will then inform the RSHO, ARSHO and the plant Manager. 3. The ARSHO will immediately proceed to the area bringing with him the radioactive survey meter to check the radiation levels in the area. 4. The ARSHO will survey the source holder to check if the radiation pattern is normal. The radiation profile should measure less than 50 Sv / hr (5 mRem / hr) at 30 cm (5 inches) from the unit with shutter closed (OFF). 5. The ARSHO will compare this reading with the installation survey and occupancy evaluation to determine if the reading is normal. 6. If the survey is normal, the shielding around the source is probably not damaged. Continue the following steps. 7. Ensure that the shutter on/off mechanism is functioning properly. If it is, lock it OFF. Make sure that the radiation beam is pointed away from you and others. 8. If the shutter cannot be turned to the OFF position, block the opening with shielding material and call Ohmart for Help. 9. ARSHO will check for possible radioactive leakage by leak testing the unit. o Check for gross contamination after wiping by taking the sealed baggie with the swab enclosed to an area away from the source. o Use a survey meter to see if there is radiation field around the baggie.

o If there is, this means that some of the radioactive material has been picked up by the swab and is emitting radiation. 10. Contain the contamination. Every effort should be made to prevent spreading the contamination any farther. 11. If the radiation pattern is within prescribed limits, the source shutter mechanism is operating properly, and there is no evidence of radioactive material leakage, then the unit can return to service. 12. However, if it appears that there has been damage to the lead shielding, regard the unit as having a radiation field present above allowable limits. 13. Cordon off and mark the area with radiation hazard signs at 20 Sv / hr (2 mRem / hr) level, or approximately 3 5m (9.8 16.4 ft). If a survey meter is not available, calculate the distance where the field intensity is 20 Sv / hr (2 mRem / hr), based on the records of the activity and type of source. 14. The ARSHO will obtain names of the potentially exposed individuals. 15. The RSHO or ARSHO will call the PNRI immediately and notify them about the situation. For record keeping, write down the name of the person at the agency whom you spoke. 16. RSHO/ARSHO will then contact Ohmart or PNRI to arrange for safe removal, packaging, and shipment of the source holder. If permitted, place shielding materials around the source holder to decrease radiation levels. A.5 Response in case of Fire. 1. The discoverer of the Fire will immediately inform the DCS operator of the condition and location of the fire. 2. The DCS operator after confirming with the caller of the fire incident will immediately inform the Shift Superintendent and announces thru the paging system of the fire incident for the immediate information of all concerned. 3. The Shift Superintendent will then inform the Production Manager and the Production Manager will inform the Plant Manager who is Head of the Emergency Response Team.

4. The Shift Superintendent upon the instruction of the Plant Manager will activate the Fire Brigade Team and with the necessary fire fighting equipments proceeds to the scene and combat fire. 5. The Production Manager will inform the RHSO/ARHSO that the fire involves the radioactive devices. 6. The RHSO/ARHSO upon learning the information from the Production Manager proceeds to the scene of the fire and informs the members of the Fire Brigade Team that radioactive devices are involve in the fire. Using a survey meter, he will then check the radioactivity in the area. 7. The area will be cordoned/barricaded about 5m from the radiation source and a radiation safety sign installed to prevent entry of unauthorized personnel who might be exposed to radiation. 8. After the fire has been put off or controlled assessment of the fire damage to the radioactive devices will be done by the RHSO/ARHSO. 9. Assessing Fire Damage A. If you do not have a fireproof source holder, assume that the lead shielding has melted: o Place a survey meter on the highest scale and approach the unit with caution o Compare the readings to the radiation profiles as measures in the initial installation survey, then proceed to the next step 6. If the radiation profile is measured in the initial survey: o Check the shutter mechanism for proper functioning o Leak test the source holder for removable contamination o Examine the source holder environment for: any damage to the mounting structure (bolts, brackets) replacement of insulation or cooling system if such was supplied 7. If the radiation field is above normal limits:

4. Flooding 5. Tsunamis 6. Dam, Reservoir Failure 7. Fire 8. Release of hazardous and toxic chemicals 3.11.5 WARNING AND NOTIFICATION Following an earthquake the Head of ERT will immediately notify the members of the Emergency Response Teams. Employees will be notified through the paging system advising what precautions to take during and after an earthquake. Activation of the plan in the event of an earthquake will be by the Head of the ERT or in his absence the Sub-head. 3.11.6 PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS Since it is difficult to classify earthquakes by their damaging effects and response required therefore development of this plan will be based on the following assumptions: Earthquakes respond without warning therefore pre-event response activities would not be possible. A damaging earthquake will cause large number of deaths and injuries and extensive damage to or destruction of buildings, emergency facilities and infrastructures. The earthquake will strike without any warning and maximum casualties will occur. Secondary effects of earthquake will include all or any of the following; Tsunami, Fire, Flood, Landslides, Dam Failure and release of hazardous and toxic chemicals. Strong aftershocks will continue for several days.
