2.0 Introduction
Past and recent disasters, both man made (Technological) and Natural (Non
technological) have produced innumerable casualties and unimaginable harm to life
and property. It is well documented that in case where the organisation and the civil
authorities were prepared to handle the situation, the losses were significantly less
since these undesirable events occur suddenly and generally without immediate
warning, especially the technological disasters, the result is an emergency.

Incidents like Flexiborough, Sevaso, Mexico and Bhopal have brought in sharp focus,
aspect of hazards arising out of chemical factories and the severity of damage these
hazards can cause to the public around. This has led to widespread alarm and deep
concern .Though the management of factories and the authorities has responded to
the challenge and has introduced no. of measures to minimise the hazards, still one
can not forget the fact that accident can not be completely eliminated

“Zero Risk” simply does not exist. Hence the need for preparedness and planning for
containing any likely emergency quickly and to keep the damages the absolute
minimum is evident .The tragic drama that unfolded at Bhopal on that fateful night
brought out this stark reality very vividly. The absolute lack of planning and
unpreparedness for facing any kind of emergency led to gruesome consequences on
the unfortunate city.

The Environment (Protection) Act 1986 passed by Government of India in the

backdrop of the ghastly chemical accident at Bhopal. The Said Act is in forefront,
insisting on the various protection measures to be taken by the Industrial
Establishments handling hazardous materials and processes. This legislation has
further paved way for forging series of related rules such as:-

9 Environment ( Protection ) Rules 1986

9 The Manufacture , Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemical Rules ,1989;
9 The Hazardous Waste ( Management & handling ) Rules , 1989;
9 The Chemical Accident(Emergency Planning, Preparedness and Response
Rules, 1996)
9 Amended Central Motor Vehicle Rules 1989 for Transportation of Hazardous
Chemicals by Road
9 Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991.
9 Major Accident Hazards Control ( Karnataka ) Rules 1994

These regulations speak out the guidelines for prevention and effective management
of hazardous materials and the dangerous results of violating the same.

It is imperative that the legislation alone cannot fulfill the objectives but need complete
cooperation and involvement of Industries, District Administration and the Public. It is
equally important that Contingency Plan coordinating the resources is prepared and
kept ready in full preparedness to handle any eventualities.

2
It is in this context the Bellary District Administration has taken initiatives in preparing
a comprehensive off site emergency plan for Bellary district to manage the
eventualities from the two hazardous industries located in the District.

3.0 Profile of Bellary District

Bellary district came into existence in 1800 A.D or there about much earlier to the
formation of Bangalore .Bellary district is having seven taluks viz. Bellary, Hospet,
Sandur, Siruguppa, Kudligi, Hadagali and Hagaribommanahalli. It is situated between
14o30’and 15o50’North Latitude and 77o40’East Longitude. It is surrounded by Raichur
district to the north, Chitradurga district to the south, Koppal district to the west and
Anathpur district of AP to the east. The District is situated in south zone.

Bellary district is having partly sandy and black cotton with red loamy soil suitable for
agricultural crops .The western parts of Bellary District is red loamy with hilly area
having rich minerals like iron ore of 65% ferrous and manganese ore of 40-48 %
manganese. Tungabhadra River flows from western parts to eastern parts of the
district.

The total population of Bellary district is 20.27 lakhs as per 2001 census. The rural
and urban breakup is 13.2 lakhs and 7.07 lakhs respectively. The district is having sex
ratio of 814 females per 842 males. The total geographical area of Bellary district is
813196 hectares out of which forest area is 97017 hectares.

Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board is the agency recognized by the

Government of Karnataka has developed 5 Industrial areas in the district comprising
430 acres of land and formed 331 plots. Out of the plots formed, 237 plots have been
allotted to 227 Industries.

There are about 322 registered factories located in the district under the purview of
the Factories Act 1948 out of which around 55 industries are considered as Industries
involving hazardous processes .Three Units viz., JSW Steels Ltd, Jindal Praxair
Oxygen Company Limited and Bellary Oxygen Company Ltd are classified as Major
Accident Hazard industries. For other industries having storages close to being
declared as Potentially Hazardous industries namely JSW Energy Ltd, Monsanto India
Limited ,United Galva Private Ltd and Pampasara distillery Ltd. M/s Bellary Thermal
power station which is expected to start generating power by the end of 2006 have
also been considered in evolving this plan.

4.0 Objectives, Extent & Scope of the Plan
The main objectives of the Off Site Emergency Plan are:

¾ To Provide resources and methods for effective control of emergencies arising out
the leakage ,explosion and fire due to hazardous materials ;
¾ To prevent emergency turning into disaster ;
¾ Synchronized action from all the coordinating agencies with least possible delay.
¾ To minimize damage to the property ,people and the environment
¾ Effective rescue operation and treatment of the causalities ;
¾ To train the people and the concerned to act efficiently and with confidence in an
emergency ;
¾ To bring back normal situation in the least possible time ;
¾ To provide authoritative information to the news media and government agencies ;
¾ No panic among the general public .No exploitation or exaggeration of the situation
by any agency.

The Off Site Emergency Plan is applicable to the following industries of Bellary.

7.0 Possible Hazards and Severity
The Complete study of chemicals stored, used, transported & manufactured in these
units reveals that the hazards associated with these chemicals can be broadly
classified into four categories ;

¾ Fire
¾ Explosion
¾ Asphyxiation
¾ Toxic release

Consequently the disasters would be

¾ Fire and Explosion

¾ Asphyxiation
¾ Toxic release

Exposure to cryogenic liquid (Severe frost bite / cold burn can result when cryogenic
liquid spills due to explosion)

For details please refer the enclosed Material Safety Data sheets annexure.

8.0 Dispersion of Gases :

When the toxic gas,such as Corex gas , LD gas, Chlorine ,Cryogenic such as
liquid Oxygen and Liquid Nitrogen are released into the atmosphere, they are carried
by wind and spread out due to atmospheric turbulence .The Pattern of dispersion and
the extent of spreading of this gas can be approximately evaluated knowing the wind
speed, stack height and the properties of the Gases .

The toxic gas that can get released into the atmosphere from the factory
storage area is Corex / LD gas which contains carbonmonoxide a highly toxic gas.

Release of Chlorine above 1 ppm into atmosphere will lead to severe

respiratory problems.

Inert gas such as nitrogen in sufficient quantity in confined space will cause
starvation or asphyxiation resulting in death.

Release of Oxygen into the atmosphere will support combustion.

The Maximum accident credible scenario for toxic gases approximately works out to
be 720 M from the storage point.

9.0 EMERGENCIES RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION SAFETY

Accidents involving the transport of chemicals from JVSL,JTPCL and JPOCL are
rare. These industries are striving continually to prevent such accidents by:

• careful selection, auditing and evaluation of transport contractors

• training of drivers and attendants employed by transport contractor
• careful selection and design of packaging materials
• advising transporters on design and material of construction for road tankers
• avoiding the need to transport altogether whenever possible.

Vehicle and packaging design, driver training, vehicle marking, readily available help
and back up for the police or fire brigade, all play their part in maintaining this record.

It is now mandatory in some of the states in India to carry a placard on road tankers
carrying chemical products. Using a code, called the Hazchem Emergency Action
Code, it provides information, which the emergency services, can quickly check and
understand. It tells them how to deal with a spillage, leak or fire.

The emergency information panel indicates correct technical name of the substance
being transported, hazard class label, UN number of the substance and telephone
number for emergency advice.

The hazardous substances have been classified in to several classes by UN

committee on transportation of hazardous substances. The classes are represented
by a set of diamonds. The diamond tells the emergency services and the public what
the primary hazard is.

Tremcard
Drivers of vehicles carrying dangerous loads must carry details of what to do in an
emergency. This information is often provided in the form of Transport emergency
cards - or Tremcards as they are usually known. These cards are instantly
recognizable. The information they contain is laid out in consistent order. The cards
are always in the driver's cab in English and many a time in vernacular language. A
card identifies the chemical and describes the nature of the hazard. So the driver
always knows exactly what is being carried, and the immediate actions needed in the
event of an accident.

TRANSPORT EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURE

(Common for Bulk and Packaged Goods Trucking Operations)

Employees trained in Safety and Emergency Handling of the product respond and act
in case of transportation Emergency involving products ,this involves contacting an
appropriate person with in organisation and assuring that contact is made between the
person requesting help and someone able to assist them.

19
FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED TO HANDLE EMERGENCIES RESULTING DUE
TO VEHICLE ( TANKERS / TRAILERS ) COLLISION

1) Crisis Management Team - Team Nominated by Corporate Office especially to

deal with Emergencies related to Accidents / Incidents involving Bulk and Packaged
Tankers .Members are trained and are authorised to tackle transportation
emergencies attracting media and nearby community .In case of any spillage causing
disastrous nearby environmental / community damage , the site incident controller ( as
mentioned in section 9.0 ) shall exert his powers to control the situation.

2) Transportation Emergency

Any situation where a vehicle Transporting products is involved in an accident or

incident where health, life, property or the environment is endangered.

These include but are not limited to

• Multiple Fatalities.
• Fire / explosion endangering nearby community.

3) Transfer of liquid

For safely handling of transfer of liquid following is some of the general guideline
for the emergency response team members on such task of Emergency response
during major accidents

1) If in case of oxygen tankers, the accident vehicle should be shifted away from
the oil or any flammable areas before transfer of liquid is to be done
2) Use a dry, oil free drip pad incase of oxygen when the transfer of liquid is being
done on a ashphalted road.
3) Never decant the liquid from the vehicle met with an accident into a receiving
VITT ( Vacuum insulated Transport tanker ) when the former is in non-erect
position.
Ensure that the tanker safety valve setting receiving the liquid is equal to or greater
than the tanker met with an accident. Otherwise special care should be taken so that
this will not lead to safety valve venting in the vicinity of the decantation location. Also
there is a risk of rupture disc failure if the pressure setting is low.

20
10.0 Off-Site Emergency Management

10.1 Notification of Emergency

On receipt of information from the Incident Controller of the Hazardous units about the
existence of off – site emergency , Chief Disaster Controller ( Deputy Commissioner )
will analyze & scrutinize the information as deemed necessary & thereafter notify the
off site emergency .CDC to operate from the HQ

The Incident controller will be responsible in combating the situation and keeps the
CDC well informed . During this period the responders will assist him in the mitigation
procedure. The incident controller will immediately see that initiating the required
measures shuts down the whole plant and guides the evacuees to the safe assembly
points as already planned at the site . Continuous Emergency Siren will be blown to
invite the attention of all the concerned .

10.2 Declarer of Emergency

The Deputy Commissioner / District Magistrate of Bellary District (herein after called
