Government of India published Manufacture, Storage and Import of

Hazardous Chemicals (MSIHC) Rules,1989 and thereafter Chemical Accidents
(Emergency Planning, Preparedness and Response) (EPPR) Rules,1996 under
Environment Protection Act,1986, with a view to minimize the loss of life and
property in the event of industrial disaster.

The Surendranagar District Contingency Plan came into the existence as a

result of Gov of Gujarat Resolution in the year 2001. The plan was revised and
updated in the Year 2005 as per provisions of Manufacture Storage and Import
of Hazardous Chemicals (MSIHC) Rules, 1989 and Chemicals Accident (Emergency
Planning, Preparedness and Response) (EPPR) Rules,1996.

Ministry of Environment and Forests, Govermment of India, engaged M/s.

Associated Consulting Engineers, New-Delhi, to develop and Off-site Emergency
Plan for Bharuch District, vide their letter No. F No. 15/11/2003 - HSMD, dated
1"May,2003. M/s. Associated Consulting Engineers, New- Delhi submitted the
draft plan to District Collector, Bharuch in the month of October, 2003. A review
meeting was kept at Ahmedabad on 13 April,2004 and M/s. Associated
Consulting Engineers made presentation of the plan in the said meeting. Principal
Secretary, Labour and Employment Department, Director, Industrial Safety and
Health, Deputy Director, Industrial Safety and Health, Bharuch District and other

PREFACE

Each and every part of the world faces variety of disasters from time to time. At
any moment some part of the earth and its habitants are attacked with some
kind of disaster, Surendranagar District in particular is a Cyclone, Earthquake
and possible terrorist attack and of course by Industrial and Chemical Disasters.

I am very happy to place on record that Asst.DISH,Surendranagar office has

prepared the District Disaster Management (Chemical Disaster) Plan of
Surendranagar District. Apart from the Training programs, there are other many
important functions to be fulfilled during the occurrence of disasters to make a
disaster management plan successful. After a long thought, team work has
been created, where head to head responsibility has been decided. It has a fire
and rescue team, medical and paramedical assistance, maintenance of law and
order during the disaster occurrence.

The Industrial sector of the District has been asked to prepare such action plans
which can be implemented during disasters. Each action plan is tested in the
form of full scale mock drill / rehearsal at least once in a calendar year.

The guideline issued by The Home Ministry - Government of India National

Disaster Management Authority and Gujarat State Disaster Management
Authority have been kept in focus in preparation of this plan.

I hope that each and every administrative unit of the district and industrial stake
holders will use this action plan in the true spirit. We wish that no disasters ever
occur, but in case of their occurrence, this action plan and preparedness at
macro to micro level will be very helpful to the people of the district and state as
a whole.

I wish all the great success to combat the disasters.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The growth of chemical industries has led to an increase in the risk of occurrence of
incidents associated with hazardous chemicals (HAZCHEM).

A chemical industry that incorporates the best principles of safety can largely prevent
such incidents. Common causes for chemical accidents are deficiencies in safety
management systems and human errors, or they may occur as a consequence of
natural calamities or sabotage activities.

Chemical accidents result in fire, explosion and/or toxic release. The nature of
chemical agents and their concentration during exposure ultimately decides the toxicity
and damaging effects on living organisms in the form of symptoms and signs like
irreversible pain, suffering, and death.

Meteorological conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, height of inversion

layer, stability class, etc., also play an important role by affecting the dispersion
pattern of toxic gas clouds. The Bhopal Gas tragedy of 1984 —the worst chemical
disaster in history, where over 2000 people died due to the accidental release of the
toxic gas Methyl Isocyanate, is still fresh in our memories. Such accidents are
significant in terms of injuries, pain, suffering, loss of lives, damage to property and
environment. A small accident occurring at the local level may be a prior warning
signal for an impending disaster. Chemical disasters, though low in frequency, have
the potential to cause significant immediate or long-term damage.

A critical analysis of the lessons learnt from major chemical accidents exhibited
various deficiencies. Laxity towards safety measures, non conformation to techno-legal
regimes and a low level of public consultation are a few such shortcomings. The
scenario called for concerted and sustained efforts for effective risk reduction
strategies and capacity development under a national authority to decrease the
occurrence of such incidents and lessen their impact. Although tremendous efforts
have been made to minimise such accidents and to improve emergency preparedness
at all levels, substantial efforts are still required to predict the occurrence of disasters,
assess the damage potential, issue warnings, and to take other precautionary
measures to mitigate their effects. Another pressing need is to properly assess the

Page Number 15
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

potential of chemical emergencies and develop tools for emergency pla nning and
response to minimise the damage in case of any eventuality.

1.1. OBJECTIVE

The objective of a Disaster management plan is to localize a Disaster and contain its
effect to the greatest extent so as to minimize its impact on life, environment and
property. Response to any disaster, in the absence of a well -defined plan, would be
arbitrary, leading to overemphasis of some actions and absence of other critical
actions. A formal plan for Managing Disaster is therefore necessary. This Disaster
management plan has a strong preparedness focus which aims at reducing our
vulnerability to disasters and at the same time, it includes a plan of action/response
mechanism for dealing with earthquakes, floods, cyclones, epidemics, industrial and
chemical accidents, road accidents and fires.

This document provides basic information required for the management of disasters in
Surendranagar District by:
 Defining the Risks and Vulnerabilities of citizens of the district to different
disasters;
 Identifying private and public sector stakeholders with prime and supporting
responsibilities to reduce or negate these vulnerabilities
 Defines actions to be taken by these parties to avoid or mitigate the impact of
possible disasters in the district.
 For major industrial sites located in the district (Off-site Emergency plan for
Industrial Accidents available with DISH);
 Through Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) of Line Departments detailing
how specific disaster response actions will be accomplished.
Developing and maintaining SOPs are the responsibility of parties with designated
prime or supporting tasks assigned by this plan.

Keeping in view all the possible aspects of the aforesaid problem in mind and to keep
the Administration prepared in all possible ways to respond pro perly to various
Disaster situations with minimum delay, possible Disaster situations have been
identified and the component plans have also been identified & mentioned in detail in
this document.

1.2. RISKS POSED BY HAZCHEM

Increased industrial activities and the risks associated with HAZCHEM and enhanced
vulnerability lead to industrial and chemical accidents. Chemical accidents may
originate in the manufacturing or formulation facility, or during the process operations
at any stage of the product cycle, material handling, transportation and storage of
HAZCHEM. Vulnerability is sometimes compounded due to the location of Major
Accident Hazard (MAH) industries closer to densely populated areas. Chemical and
industrial accidents generally occur due to technical failures that can be anticipated.
The risk associated with them can thus be predicted and reduced effectively by
identification of risk areas, risk assessment and designing pre-operative measures.
The occurrence of chemical accidents and probability thereof, manifesting in a
disaster, remain a cause of concern.

Disaster threatens sustainable economic development worldwide. In the past twenty

years, earthquakes, floods, tropical storms, droughts and other calamites have killed
millions of people, inflicted injury, disease and caused homelessness and misery to
around one billion others in the world. These have caused damage to infrastructure
worth millions of rupees. Disaster destroys decades of human effort and investments,
thereby, placing new demands on society for reconstruction and rehabilitation.
Disaster management thus requires proactive approach. The community, civil society
organizations, media and the proverbial man on the street, everyone has to play a role
Page Number 17
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

in case such exigency occurs. The various prevention and mitigation measures
outlined below are aimed at building up capabilities as also how to deal with disasters.

Handling large quantities of HAZCHEM in installations, isolated storages, and during

transportation, poses the grave risk of a sudden release of copious quantities of
toxicants in the environment. There are about 1666 MAH units in India, handling a
large number of chemicals as raw materials, in processes, products, and wastes, with
flammable, explosive, corrosive, toxic and noxious properties. Any accident involving
these may have an adverse impact on both the community and the environment. Large
quantities of chemicals are also stored/ processed in industries that are located in
densely populated areas. Inappropriate and haphazard construction and the lack of
awareness and preparedness on the part of the community further enhance their
vulnerability. The potential of heavy losses and adverse consequences on the
environment due to a chemical accident calls for further improvement of safety
measures in all processes /procedures and the adoption of appropriate methods for
handling HAZCHEMs.

The Bhopal Gas Disaster in December 1984 brought into sharp focus the
unprecedented potential of HAZCHEM like Methyl Isocyanate in terms of loss of life,
health, injury and the long term effects on the population and environment. It created
compelling evidence to approach DM and chemical safety holistic ally. The era of
restructuring with the induction of new HAZCHEM control systems and procedures all
over the world in the wake of the Bhopal disaster also resulted in the strengthening of
institutional mechanisms at local, district, state and central level s for the management
of chemical disasters in India. The consolidation of these institutional mechanisms and
the mobilisation of corporate support for the preparation and implementation of
emergency plans is an integral part of these Guidelines.

1.3. CHEMICAL ACCIDENTS

i) Manufacturing and formulation installations including commissioning and process

operations; maintenance and disposal.

ii) Material handling and storage in manufacturing facilities, and isolated storages;
warehouses and godowns including tank farms in ports and docks and fuel depots.
Page Number 18
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

iii) Transportation (road, rail, air, water, and pipelines).

Chemical disasters, in general, may result from:

i) Fire.

ii) Explosion.

iii) Toxic release.

iv) Poisoning.

v) Combinations of the above.

Chemical disasters may occur due to process deviations concerning the chemistry of
the process, pressure, temperature and other identified parameters with regard to the
state of the substance i.e., solid, liquid or gas, proximity to other toxic substances and
the probability of a runaway reaction due to the incidental mixing of two or more
HAZCHEMs with dissimilar properties. In addition, it may be due to hardware failure,
resulting in large-scale spills of toxic substances (in any form) due to loss of
containment, or an explosion. Further, Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion
(BLEVE) may occur due to sparks, shocks or frictional forces on the chemicals during
transportation.

Page Number 19
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

1.4. NATURAL CALAMITIES

The Indian subcontinent is highly prone to natural disasters, which can also trigger
chemical disasters. Damage to phosphoric acid sludge containment during the Orissa
super cyclone in 1999 and the release of acrylonitrile at Kandla Port, during an
earthquake in 2001, are some of the recent examples.

1.5. TERRORIST ATTACKS/SABOTAGE

Vulnerability to chemical disasters is further compounded by likely terrorist and warfare

activities, which include sabotage and attack on HAZCHEM installations and
transportation vehicles. This can occur at sources listed in para 1.1, anywhere, and at
any time. Guidelines for the management of chemical warfare agents and chemical
weapons of mass destruction will be issued separately.

1.6. ORGANIZATION OF PLAN

The present plan document identifies the roles and responsibilities of the orga nizations
in key identified sectors. Taskforces have been constituted for taking response
measures in specific sectors. Each task force consists of a lead
organization/department supported by other organizations/ departments. Action plan
has been prepared for each taskforce, which covers their roles and responsibilities in
different phases of disaster.

The mode, degree and extent of response to fight out any Disaster depend upon the
nature, degree and extent of Disaster, but some points are common to all k inds of
situations. For example, first and foremost, appropriate and adequate steps for
preventing the disaster should be undertaken. Secondly, preparedness is required to
contain the damages and casualties resulting from the Disaster. Thirdly, steps for
rehabilitation and restoration of community life within a reasonable time should be
focused on.

Hence, some necessary and common steps are as below:

Page Number 20
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

1. Establishment of Central Control Rooms and capacity enhancement of

Emergency Operation Centers.
2. District Disaster Management Committee to meet post early warning or
immediately post disaster occurrence.
3. A general line of action and some special duties to various officers and
departments will have to be assigned, keeping in mind a timeline for finis hing
specific tasks.
4. Voluntary Organizations may have to be involved and their role will have to be
clearly specified and coordinated.
5. Media may have to be briefed to suppress all kinds of rumors.
6. Information regarding resource inventory of Health Services, Transport Services,
Evacuation & Rehabilitation Centers and Food etc. needs to be kept handy so
that resources can be deployed where required.
7. Consistent follow-up of relief operations and constant reporting of pre and post
disaster work.

To achieve the above objectives, different tasks have to be performed by Government

Departments and other agencies before, during and after the Disaster. Each
Department's role and responsibilities have to be clearly identified and an action plan
needs to be drawn up by each department. For close cooperation between the various
Department and Agencies, close coordination is required between the Collector at the
District Headquarters and Prant Officers (SDM) at the Sub-division or Taluka level.
The responsibility to manage any type of Disaster in the district rests with the District
Disaster Management Committee headed by the Collector Surendranagar, who may,
depending upon the gravity of the situation, seek the help of State Disaster
Management Committee and the National Disaster Management Committee. This
tiered and hierarchical structure ensures that the best possible response is accorded
to any disaster situation, depending upon the severity of damage.

1.7. LEVEL OF DISASTERS

Page Number 21
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

For operational expediency, the level of Disasters have been categorized and
classified as under:

L concept has been developed to define different levels of disasters in order to

facilitate the responses and assistances to States and Districts.

L0 level denotes normal times which will be utilized for close monitoring,
documentation, prevention and preparatory activities. Training on search and rescue,
rehearsals, evaluation and inventory updation for response activities will be carried out
during this time.

L1 level specifies disaster that can be managed at the District level, however, the
State and centre will remain in readiness to provide assistance if needed.

L2 level disaster situations are those, which require assistance and active
participation of the state, mobilization of its resources for management of disasters.

L3 level disaster situation is in case of large scale disaster where the State and
District authorities have been overwhelmed and require assistance from the Central
Government for reinstating the State and District machinery as well as for rescue,
relief, other response and recovery measures. In most cases, the scale and intensity
of the disaster as determined by the concerned technical agency like IMD are
sufficient for the declaration of L3 disaster.

1.8. PLAN CONSIDERATIONS

This plan is prepared considering compact and to be easily under stood by users,
mitigation, prevention and preparedness aspects are addressed adequately.
Page Number 22
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

Recognizing the fact that most tasks and actions before and following a disaster are
common at the district level, the Surendranagar district administration has used
industrial disaster approach while developing disaster management plan for the
district.

The present plan is not intended to provide comprehensive explanations and

background information about a disaster, or serve as a training manual on how to
respond to a disaster or conduct a disaster related task. The approach taken is that
plans and SOPs should be limited to the extent of sufficient information need to
respond to a specific disaster or undertake a disaster related task. Steps to address
disaster specific requirements can be covered in procedures related to actions. This
approach does require that task forces develop disaster specific procedures where
appropriate.

In other words, this plan is intended for use by persons who are technically competent
in the tasks or responsibilities set out in the plan.

1.9. AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The requirement for district and subsidiary plans is set by the Gujar at State Disaster
Management Authority (GSDMA) under the authority of the Gujarat State Disaster
Management Act of 2003. The Act authorizes the collector to secure cooperation and
assistance from other parties in efforts to avoid or reduce the impact of di sasters.

The Collector (Specifically) and Government authorities (generally) are responsible for
managing hazards and disasters that affect a district, with support from GSDMA, the
Relief Commissioner and other public and private parties as may be needed. The
roles, responsibilities and obligations of the Collector and other key parties are set out
in detail in the Act and are considered as part of this plan.

1.10. PREPARATION AND REVISION OF THE PLAN

Page Number 23
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

The District Collector is responsible for the prepara tion and revision of the District
Disaster Management Plan in collaboration with the line departments and other
organizations in the district.

The plan should be reviewed annually and updated:

 When significant changes occur in the nature of hazards

 Lessons learnt following any major disaster or
 When there is any significant change to the organization or responsibilities of
primary members of the task forces defined in the plan.
 Lessons learnt from the mock drill. see (Annexure)

1.11. LEGAL BACKUP

3.3.13. MEDIA MANAGEMENT

Page Number 68
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

The role of media, both print and electronic, in informing the people and the authorities during
emergencies becomes critical, especially the ways in which media can play a vital role in
public awareness and preparedness through educating the public about disasters; warning of
hazards; gathering and transmitting information about affected areas; alerting government
officials, helping relief organizations and the public towards specific needs; and even in
facilitating discussions about disaster preparedness and response. During any emergency,
people seek up-to-date, reliable and detailed information.

Surendranagar Collectorate office has established an effective system of collaborating with

the media during emergencies. Both print and electronic media is regularly briefed at
predetermined time intervals about the events as they occur and the prevailing situation on
ground. A similar set up is also active at the Taluka Control room (i.e. Mamlatdar office).

3.5. INDUSTRIAL DISASTERS, FIRES AND CHEMICAL ACCIDENTS ACTION PLAN

3.5.1 LOCAL RESPONSE TO CHEMICAL EMERGENCY - EMERGENCY ORGANISATION

STRUCTURE

The response to a chemical disaster is always local with resources segmented from district
and state levels. Under MSIHC Rules, the LCG is the lowest level of group available at the
industrial cluster level the DCG is the next level of response. In the case the LCG is not
available; the DCG is the lowest level of response.

At the State level, agencies such the GSDMA, DISH, GPCB, PESO, GIDC etc. are
responsible for regulation, planning, and management
The response plan detailed out in this report establishes a concept of operations and assigns
specific functional responsibility to departments, agencies, and organizations within
Surendranagar for chemical and industrial disasters. Chemical disasters can be classified per
their scales as: Minor, Moderate, Major and Catastrophic.

3.5.2. RESPONSE TO HAZCHEM TRANSPORTATION EMERGENCIES

The organization structure for response, concept of emergency operations, and roles and
responsibility of key stakeholders remains almost the same in case of emergencies involving
the transportation of hazardous chemicals. The special considerations while responding to
transportation emergencies are:

Pipeline Transportation - In case of pipeline transportation the initial notification may be done
by the occupier/owner of the pipeline or by the local community or by the contractor who
caused the damage to the pipeline. Therefore, it is important that all pipelines nodes and
routes clearly display the emergency contact information in case of any accident with the
Page Number 70
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

pipeline. Once the initial notification of an accident is obtained the response operations are
similar to other chemical accidents.

Road Transportation -In case of an emergency involving a road tanker carrying hazardous
chemical, the driver of the tanker is expected to be well-trained to handle emergency
situations and have up-to-date contact information. The consigner and consignee may also
make these calls. The tanker must display the emergency information panel and driver
should carry the Transport Emergency Card or TREMCARD which has detailed instructions
on response actions for fire, spillage or leakage. The driver should take the first protection
actions by stopping traffic and general citizens from approaching the accident site until police
arrive for help. The driver can try to stop the leak (if any) only if he is adequately trained and
equipped to do so. The police officer on site will most likely be the first IC until a more
qualified response team arrives. The most important action by the police is to cordon off the
site of the accident, divert and regulate traffic, and evacuate/shelter in place citizens in close
proximity on a priority basis. It is also important that untrained and unequipped first
responders should not try to stop the leak or enter the hot zone and should instead wait for a
qualified response.

4.0. NATURAL CALAMITIES

The Indian subcontinent is highly prone to natural disasters, which can also trigger
chemical disasters. Damage to phosphoric acid sludge containment during the Orissa
super cyclone in 1999 and the release of acrylonitrile at Kandla Port, during an
earthquake in 2001, are some of the recent examples.

4.1. TYPES OF NATURAL CALAMITIES & ITS ACTION PLAN

1) EARTHQUAKE

As per Indian Seismic Zone Map, Gujarat region is lies in three zones- Zone III, IV and
V. Kachchh region (about 300km x 300km) lies in zone V where earthquakes of
magnitude 8 can be expected. A belt of about 60-70 km width around this zone covering
areas of North Saurashtra and areas bordering Eastern part of Kachchh lie in zone IV

The rest of Gujarat lies in zone III where intensity 7 can be expected due to moderate
local earthquakes or strong Kachchh earthquakes.

The cities of Ahmedabad, Bharuch, Rajkot, and Bhavnagar fall into the severe intensity
zone, while Bhuj and Jamnagar fall in the very severe intensity zone over this time
frame.

Page Number 90
 EARTH QUAKE

Page Number 91
Thus taking the above in to consideration risk exposure can be considered
as moderate. Whereas, seismic experts have opined that the Indian land mass is
being constantly compressed between the sea and Himalayas and thus the
developed stresses are being released in the form of earthquakes in the least
expected areas.

 DURING EARTHQUAKE,
if indoors:

 Take cover under a piece of heavy furniture or against an inside wall

and hold on.
 Stay inside.
 The most dangerous thing to do during the shaking of an earthquake is
to try to leave the building because objects can fall on you.

Page Number 92
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

 DURING EARTHQUAKE,
if outdoors:
 Move into the open, away from buildings, street lights, and utility wires.
 Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops.

 DURING EARTHQUAKE,
if in a moving vehicle:
 Stop quickly and stay in the vehicle.
 Move to a clear area away from buildings, trees, overpasses, or utility
wires.
 Once the shaking has stopped, proceed with caution. Avoid bridges or
ramps that might have been damaged by the quake.

 AFTER EARTHQUAKE
 Be prepared for aftershocks. Although smaller than the main shock,
aftershocks cause additional damage and may bring weaken structures
down. Aftershocks can occur in the first hours, days, weeks, or even
months after the quake.
 Help injured or trapped persons.
 Give first aid where appropriate.
 Do not move seriously injured persons unless they are in immediate
danger of further injury.
 Call for help.
 Listen to a battery-operated radio or television for the latest emergency
information.
 Remember to help your neighbors who may require special assistance--
infants, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
 Stay out of damaged buildings.
 Use the telephone only for emergency calls.
 Clean up spilled chemicals or other flammable liquids immediately.
Leave the area if you smell gas or fumes.
 Provide temporary shelter to affected people

Page Number 93
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

 Evacuation site should be safe, and easily accessible.

 Continue to provide essential services to the affected people i.e. food,
water, clothing, sanitation and medical assistance
 The Site main controller to ensure the following in the relief camps :
i. Special emphasis on Hygiene and sanitation aspects should be given in
relief camp sites.
ii. Separate area should be earmarked within the relief camp for storage of
relief materials.
iii. Adequate manpower and transport facilities for the camp site.
iv. Arrangements to be made for trauma management.
v. Mobile medical units to be sent to remote areas with a view to provide
medical assistance to the victims/injured.

Information centre should be established by the administration.

4.2. LIGHTENING & THUNDERSTORM

Page Number 94
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

 Lightening Arrester at strategic location shall be installed and shall be

maintained in good working condition. Their earth pit resistance shall
be maintained as low as practicable

 BEFORE
 Thunderstorm is invariably accompanied by lightening A single stroke of
lightening has 125, 000, 00 volts of electricity. That‘s enough power to light
a 100-watt light bulb for more than 3 months, or enough to seriously hurt or
to skill someone. Know what steps to take in the event of an oncoming
thunder storm & lightening. Lightening is something you should not be
careless about, so seek a safe shelter immediately! Be warned, lightening
can and does strike just about any object in its path. When you see
lightening, follow these safety rules.

 INDOORS
 Stay or go indoors! If you hear thunder, don‘t go outside unless
absolutely necessary. Stand clear from windows, doors, and electrical
appliances.
 Stay away from anything that could conduct electrici ty. This includes
electric, lines, Electric Instruments, wires etc and phones Unplug
appliances well before a storm strikes – never during.
 Don‘t use any plug-in electrical instruments. If lightening strikes your
building they can conduct the charge to you.

Page Number 95
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

 Don‘t use the telephone during the storm. Lightening may strike
telephone lines outside. Use the telephone only for emergencies
quickly. Avoid contact with piping including sinks, baths and faucets.

 OUTDOORS
 When outdoors, seek shelter from lighteni ng! Buildings are best for
shelter, but if no buildings are available, you can find protection in a
cave, ditch, or a campus. Trees are not good cover. Tall trees attract
lightening. Never use a tree as a shelter.
 Stay in your vehicle if you are travelling, vehicles gives you excellent
lightening protection. Get in a hard topped car.
 If you can‘t find shelter avoid the tallest object in the area. If only
isolated trees are nearly, your best protection is to crouch in the open,
keeping twice as far away from isolated trees are high. Avoid areas that
are higher than the surrounding landscape.
 Don‘t use metal object outside. Keep away from metal objects including
bikes, electric or telephone poles, fencing, machinery etc.
 Get out of the water. Immediately get out and away from pools, lakes,
and other bodies of water.
 When you feel the electrical charge – if your hair stands on end or your
skin tingles- lightening may be about to strike near you. Immediately
crouch down and cover your ears. Do not lie down o r place your hands
on the ground.
 Victims of lightening shock are administered CPM (Cardio pulmonary
resuscitation) i.e. artificial respiration, if necessary. Seek medical aid.

Page Number 96
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

4.3. HEAVY RAIN

 Stay out of the basement.

 Stop all jobs outside.
 Heavy rain many times accompanies high-speed wind. Stop all work at
height.
 Disconnection power supply to all electrical Machines in open yards.
 Cover all JBs\DBs where chances of water coming to it are there.
 Keep Gumboot, Raincoat and umbrellas ready.
 Keep all dewatering pumps ready in working order.
 Move valuable objects upstairs only if safe to do so, without straining
yourself
 Keep yourself indoors and away from rivers and creeks
 Stay away from low/lying areas
 Avoid walking through a waterlogged area on foot; you can get swept
away easily.
 Assemble everyone inside shelters or buildings.

Page Number 97
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

 Close windows and blinds.

 Evacuate rooms that might bear the full force of the wind
 Avoid enclosures that have long roof spans.
 Keep the office radio tuned to a local station for current advisory
information

4.4. CYCLONE

Gujarat falls in the region of tropical cyclone. With the longest coast line of 1600
km in the country, it is highly vulnerable to associated hazards such as floods,
storm surges etc. Most of the cyclones affecting the state are generated in the
Arabian Sea. Two cyclonic storm seasons are experienced in Gujarat: May to
June (advancing southwest monsoon) and September to November (retreating
monsoon).

Page Number 98
Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

Page Number 99
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

 Looking to the moderate risk of cyclone, roof sheet / louvers sheet/ etc
shall be kept secured and shall be checked regularly. Any loose material/
sheet etc shall not be kept on the terrace, height.
 Keep listening to the radio for updates and advice
 Disconnect appliances
 Stay inside well clear of windows, sheltering in the strongest part of the
house (internal hallway, bathroom or cellar)
 Keep your emergency kit with you
 If the building begins to break up, protect yourself with a rug, mattress or
blanket and shelter under a bench or table
 Not assume that the end of the cyclone means the danger has passed -
wait for the 'all clear'
 Stay in your vehicle if caught on the road, with the car handbrake on a nd
parked well clear of trees, power lines and possible flooding

Page 100
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District
4.5. FLOOD

The climatology of Gujarat is influenced by the Arabian Sea in the West and three hill
ranges along its Eastern border. A long coastline makes parts of arid Saurashtra and
Kutch occasionally experience very high rainfall. These occasional heavy rainstorms
are responsible for most of the floods in the state.

All major rivers in the state pass through a wide stretch of the very flat terrain before
reaching the sea. These flat lowlands of lower river basins are prone to flooding. Cities
like Ahmedabad, Surat and Bharuch are located on the flat alluvial plains of large
rivers.

Concentrated runoff resulted by heavy rainfall cause flash floods in the small river
basin of Saurashtra and Kutch because of their fairly impervious catchments (rocky or
black cotton soils) and steep sloping upper catchments.

 SEASONALITY OF HAZARDS

By understanding the approximate occurrence of hazard, the Gujarat state may remain
prepared for the respective hazards by activating the relevant departments for the same.
The table below is only indicative of the occurrence.

Page 101
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District
5.0. POST EMERGENCY PLAN

5.1 REHABILITATION

The Incident Controller will not signal the end of the emergency until he is satisfied
that all fires are extinguished and there is not of re-ignition. In case of gas escapes,
the emergency will be declared ended only when the source of emission has been
effectively isolated and gas clouds are disbursed. Even when the All Clear has been
given, great care is needed when re-entering affected areas, and no work in
connection with the salvage, collection of evidence or start up should be put in hand
until a thorough examination of the area has been carried out. The statutory powers
of the Factory Inspectors must be born in mind before evidence is disturbed. It is
particularly important to avoid the introduction of possible sources of ignition, such as
diesel engines, hand or power operated tools and flame -cutting equipment and so on
until it has been established that no flammable materials remain whereby they could
be ignited.

Re-entry procedure in the factory and affected or contaminated area in vicinity should
be prescribed and followed. The security officer should know it and guide people
accordingly.

Holistic rehabilitation post disaster includes many inter linked aspects. It is critical to
address all need of affected population in order to achieve early recovery and to bring
back normalcy to their lives.

 SOCIO-ECONOMIC REHABILITATION

Socio-economic rehabilitation is aimed at revamping the social and economic fabric to

the pre-disaster or a better situation. It also addresses issues like that of livelihood
restoration and generation. This is done by providing required training, skill, tools and
equipment to restart the previous or new livelihood options.

Care should also be taken to address the needs of various socially and economically
vulnerable groups like that of women, adolescent girls, old age persons, differently

Page 102
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District
able persons, children, destitute, below poverty line population, scheduled castes,
scheduled tribes, particularly vulnerable tribal groups, etc.

 PSYCHOLOGICAL REHABILITATION

Disasters often lead to long time stress and trauma due to loss of near and dear
ones, injuries, loss of limbs, loss of housing and related property, trauma generated
by facing the disaster and fearful sites, fear of repetition of the disaster, etc. If not
addressed appropriately, it may lead to lifelong psychological fear and disorders, thus
it is necessary to provide psycho-social first and psychological care to the affected
population.

 ENVIRONMENTAL REHABILITATION

Environmental impacts of natural disasters can result in serious risk to life and
livelihoods if not addressed. Environmental emergencies like uncontrolled, unplanned
or accidental release of a substance into the environment not only impact human life
in many ways but also damage environment to great extent which may be impossible
or may take years to restore to original.

5.2. RECOVERY OPERATIONS

The procedures outlined in this section are intended for re-establishing normal
operations at the earliest after an emergency. In addition, the procedure also provides
for determining the cause of the accident, so that such incidents can be prevented in
future.

 This section is divided into five parts:

1. Incident investigation
2. Establishing a recovery team.
3. Damage Assessment
4. Clean-up and restoration
5. Post-Emergency and Recovery Reporting.

Page 103
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District
5.2.1. INCIDENT INVESTIGATION

its investigation to minimize the loss of any physical evidence.

The investigation of the scene should include,

1. Photographing the area.

2. Determining the point of origin of the Fire / Leak / Explosion, if applicable.

3. Note the position of valves, controls and devices.

4. Note any unusual items in the area or any damage that is inconsistent with the type
of incident which is in-cognizable . Written or recorded statements are to be taken from
all operators involved, potential witnesses and others who might have pertinent
knowledge about the incident.

and the extent of recovery operations. As a general rule, however, individuals
representing Maintenance, Safety, Quality Control, Accounts, Engineering etc.,
should be involved.

The recovery team is responsible for damage assessment, clean-up and salvage
operations and the restoration of normal Depot operations.

6.0. MAINTENANCE PLAN

6.1 INTRODUCTION

Plan maintenance is a dynamic process of updating the plan on a periodic basis. The
backbone of maintaining the plan is carrying out mock drills and updating the plan based on
lessons learnt thereof. This is a method of identifying the gaps and putting in place a system
to fill the same. Regular updating of stakeholder details, contact numbers and resource
inventory is another inherent and essential function of plan maintenance.

The District Administration, Surendranagar constituted a special committee under the

Supernumerary Assistant Collector, with designated nodal officers for the same in 2013 to
undertake an overall updation exercise of the DDMP. Vulnerabilities newly brought to the
attention of the district administration as a result of the disasters in Surendranagar in the last
year and lessons learnt have been incorporated. Detailed meetings with Line Departments
and Nodal officers have also brought forth important lessons for Disaster Risk Mitigation and
Reduction. These will be incorporated in this plan, and put up for discussion for dovetailing
with development plans in the district. This will ensure that the element of Disaster Mitigation
achieves due attention in all-important aspects of administration.

6.2. PLAN TESTING

The Commissioner of Relief and the Collector shall prepare, review and update the District
level Disaster Management plan as provided for in the GSDMA Act (Section 22 (1) (C)).
He/She shall also ensure that disaster management drills and rehearsals are carried out
periodically.

While updating the plan the following aspects need to be considered by the Collector every
year:
i) Critical analysis of the outcome of exercises & mock drills as part of plan testing.

Page 107
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District
ii) Incorporation of lessons learnt in the updated plan as a result of recommendations
received from different stakeholders and as a result of mock drill exercises
conducted.
iii) Regular updation of the resource inventory and key infrastructure available in the
district.

The plan must be thoroughly tested and evaluated on a regular basis, at least twice a year.
The plan testing should preferably be organized on the first Monday in the months of April
and October every year.

After plan testing and incorporation of lessons learnt, the Collector should send a copy of
the revised and updated plan to the following officials:

(a) Chief Secretary, Government of Gujarat

(b) Chief Executive Officer, Gujarat State Disaster Management Authority
(c) Principal Secretary, Revenue Department
(d) Head of all Line Departments
(e) State Emergency Operation Center
(f) District Emergency Operation Center
(g) Taluka Officers
(h) ERCs
(i) IMD
(j) CWC/ACWC

The main objectives of plan testing are to:

(i) Determine the feasibility and compatibility of back up facilities and procedures.
(ii) Identity areas in the plan that need modification.
(iii) Identify training needs of key stakeholders.
(iv) Assess the ability of the organization/department to respond to disaster threats.

Page 108
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District
All departments that have specific roles and responsibilities in the DMP must have a system
to ensure that all Officers of their departments who have a specific role to play are fully
conversant with their responsibilities/tasks.

6.3. DEBRIEFING AND EVALUATION-MOCK DRILLS

 After the mock exercise, debriefing and evaluation is very important. It is of critical
importance that insights are collected from participants and use them to modify the
plan.
 Debriefing is very effective as it is carried out immediately after the exercise. It also
includes documentation in terms of recommendations and improvements of the plan.
 The lessons learned from the mock exercise are likely to be similar to those from real
events. The only major difference is that exercises are controlled events, specifically
designed to test procedures and they can be repeated again and again until
sound/workable arrangements are in place.

6.4. REVIEW / UPDATING OF PLAN

The Disaster Preparedness and Response Plan should be reviewed and updated regularly,
based on inputs as under:

(a) Drills and Rehearsals

(b) Recommendations from all Depts. in their Annual DM Report
(c) Lessons learnt from Disasters in other Districts, States and countries
(d) Directions from GSDMA, Ministry of Home Affairs, NDMA, Government etc.

Section 3: Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Exposure to ethylene oxide may depress the central nervous system. This chemical is
suspected of being a human carcinogen and toxic to the reproductive system. Highly
flammable.
EYE EFFECTS:
The vapor is irritating to the eyes, and the liquid can cause delayed burns if it contacts
the eyes. Aqueous solutions of ethylene oxide are also irritating.
SKIN EFFECTS:
Vapor and liquid in contact with the skin can cause irritation and delayed burns.
Aqueous solutions of ethylene oxide are also irritating.
It is also reported that rapid evaporation of the liquid on contact with the skin can
cause a type of frostbite.
Frostbite is a change in the color of the skin to gray or white, possibly followed by
Page 131
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

blistering.
INGESTION EFFECTS:
None. Product is a gas. Ingestion is unlikely.
INHALATION EFFECTS:
Low concentrations inhaled will cause delayed nausea. Inhalation of high
concentrations results in a narcotic and possible neurotoxic effect -- possibly followed
by coughing, vomiting, and irritation to the respiratory passages which will eventually
lead to emphysema, bronchitis, and pulmonary edema. It has been reported to cause
rapid olfactory fatigue.
The neurotoxic or narcotic effect results in respiratory failure with acute pulmonary
edema. Comas with metabolic acidosis and oxaluria have also been observed. It has
been known to cause chronic intoxication in humans.
Ethylene oxide is a suspect human carcinogen. Exposure may cause toxicity to the
human reproductive system including spontaneous abortions.
Chromosomal abberations have been detected in ethylene oxide exposed workers.
NFPA HAZARD CODES HMIS HAZARD CODES RATINGS SYSTEM
Health: 3 Health: 3 0 = No Hazard
Flammability: 4 Flammability: 4 1 = Slight Hazard
Reactivity: 3 Reactivity: 3 2 = Moderate Hazard
3 = Serious Hazard
4 = Severe Hazard

Section 4: First Aid Measures

EYES:
PERSONS WITH POTENTIAL EXPOSURE SHOULD NOT WEAR CONTACT
LENSES. Flush contaminated eye(s) with copious quantities of water. Part eyelids to
assure complete flushing. Continue for a minimum of 15 minutes. Repeat for
subsequent 15 minute periods if irritation returns. Seek immediate medical attention.
SKIN:
Remove contaminated clothing and flush affected areas with large amounts of
lukewarm water. Delayed burns may result, seek immediate medical attention.
INGESTION:
None anticipated as product is a gas at room temperature.
INHALATION:
PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION IS MANDATORY IN ALL CASES OF
OVEREXPOSURE. RESCUE
PERSONNEL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS AND BE
COGNIZANT OF EXTREME FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD. Conscious persons
should be assisted to an uncontaminated area, made to recline, kept warm, and given
warm water in amounts adequate to purge their stomachs of the ethylene oxide
contamination. In the event of severe exposure, oxygen should also be administered
by a competent person. The physician should look for signs of lung congestion.
Unconscious persons should be moved to an uncontaminated area and given mouth-

Page 132
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

to-mouth resuscitation and supplemental oxygen. Once respiration has been restored,
treatment should be as above.

Lel(%): 3 Uel(%): 100
Hazardous Combustion Products: None
Sensitivity To Mechanical Shock: None
Sensitivity To Static Discharge: None
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Ethylene oxide is flammable over an extremely wide range in air.
Ethylene oxide stored in the liquid state can be maintained free of explosion hazard in
the gaseous phase by the introduction of nitrogen at sufficient pressure. An example,
at 70oF (21 oC) a nitrogen pressure of 32.6 psia (225 kPa) is required; while at 104oF
(40oC) a nitrogen pressure of 63.1 psia (9435 kPa) is required.
The decomposition temperature of ethylene oxide is 1060oF (571oC). This reaction is
highly exothermic with the temperature rising from 1060oF (571oC) to 2190oF
(1199oC) in only 2 milliseconds.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Water mist or spray. Carbon dioxide, dry chemicals and foams. It must be diluted 22
times by volume in water before it is no longer flammable.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
In order to reduce the risk of fire and explosion, ethylene oxide is mixed with inert
gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen. For example, a gas mixture containing 1
part of ethylene oxide with 9 parts of carbon dioxide is not flammable in air.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

Evacuate all personnel from affected area. Use appropriate protective equipment. If
leak is in user‘s equipment, be certain to purge piping with inert gas prior to attempting
repairs. If leak is in container or container valve, contact the appropriate emergency
telephone number listed in Section 1 or call your closest BOC location.

Section 7: Handling and Storage

Electrical equipment should be non-sparking or explosion proof.
Metal acting as catalysts for the decomposition of ethylene oxide include copper,
silver, mercury, magnesium and their alloys. Potassium, tin, zinc, aluminum and iron
oxides tend to accelerate the polymerization of ETO.Earth-ground or bond all lines
and equipment associated with the ETO system.

Unless specifically labeled this materials is NOT to be used as a pesticide.

Page 133
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

Use only in well-ventilated areas. Valve protection caps must remain in place unless
container is secured with valve protection outlet piped to use point. Do not drag, slide
or roll cylinders. Use a suitable hand truck for cylinder movement. Use a pressure
reducing regulator when connecting cylinder to lower pressure (< 50 psig) piping or
systems. Do not heat cylinder by any means to increase the discharge rate of product
from the cylinder. Use a check valve or trap in the discharge line to prevent hazardous
back flow into the cylinder. Protect cylinders from physical damage.

Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area of non-combustible construction away from

heavily trafficked areas and emergency exits. Do not allow the temperature where
cylinders are stored to exceed 130oF (54oC) to prevent polymerization. Cylinders
should be stored upright and firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked over.
Use a "first in-first out" inventory system to prevent full cylinders being stored for
excessive periods of time. Post "NO SMOKING OR OPEN FLAMES" signs in the
storage area or use area. There should be no sources of ignition in the storage or use
area.
Never carry a compressed gas cylinder or a container of a gas in cryogenic liquid form
in an enclosed space such as a car trunk, van or station wagon. A leak can result in a
fire, explosion, asphyxiation or a toxic exposure.

Section 4: FIRST AID MEASURES

First Aid for Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of tepid water for at
least 15 minutes. If irritation, pain, swelling, excessive tearing, or light sensitivity
persists, the patient should be seen in a health care facility and referral to an
ophthalmologist considered.
First Aid for Skin: Immediately flush exposed area with copious amounts of tepid
water for at least 15 minutes followed by washing area thoroughly with soap and
water. The patient should be seen in a health care facility if irritation or pain persists.
First Aid for Inhalation: Move patient to fresh air. Monitor for respiratory distress. If
cough or difficulty in breathing develops, evaluate for respiratory tract irritation,
bronchitis, or pneumonitis. If trained to do so administer supplemental oxygen with
assisted ventilation as required. Administer artificial respiration if patient is not
breathing.
First Aid for Ingestion: Call a physician. If conscious, give the patient 4 to 8 ounces
of milk or water to drink immediately. Do not induce vomiting.
Caution: Clothing frozen to the skin should be thawed before being removed.

Section 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash Point: Not Applicable
Lower Flammable Limit: 15.5 % Volume in Air
Upper Flammable Limit: 27.0 % Volume in Air
Autoignition Temperature: 1204o F (651o C)
Extinguishing Media: Stopping the flow of gas rather than extinguishing the fire is
usually the best procedure to follow when escaping gas is burning.
Small Fire: Dry chemical or CO2
Large Fire: Water spray, fog or foam
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
a. Do not get water inside container.
b. Move container from fire area if you can do it without risk.
c. Apply cooling water to sides of containers that are exposed to flames until well after
fire is out. Stay away from ends of tanks due to exploding potential when tanks are
involved in a fire.
d. Isolate area until gas has dispersed.
e. Use water spray or foam to control vapors.
f. Positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) should be used when
there is a potential for inhalation of vapors and/or fumes.
g. Chemical protective clothing that is safe for use with ammonia involved in a fire
Page 140
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

should be worn.
CAUTION:
a. With proper training, structural fire fighter‘s protective clothing and SCBA used in
conjunction with water spray will provide limited protection for short-term exposure to
ammonia vapors.
b. Liquid ammonia may cause protective equipment to become brittle.
c. Use of welding or flame cutting equipment on or in ammonia container is not
recommended unless all ammonia has been purged, rinsed with water, and any oil
residue removed.
Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.

Section 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Spill or Leak Measures: Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Keep unnecessary
people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind, out of low areas, and
ventilate closed spaces before entering. Evaluate the affected area to determine
whether to evacuate or shelter-in-place by taping windows and doors, shutting off
outside air intakes (attic fans, etc.), and placing a wet towel or cloth over the face (if
needed). With proper training, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and
structural firefighter‘s protective clothing used in conjunction with water spray will
provide limited protection in outdoor releases for short-term exposure. Fully
encapsulating, vapor-protective clothing should be worn for spills and leaks with no
fire. Use water spray or foam to control vapors. Mixing of water and liquid ammonia
will increase vaporization rate. Do not put water on liquid ammonia unless more than
100 volumes of water are available for each volume of liquid ammonia.
CAUTION:
a. Personal protective clothing may become brittle when exposed to liquid ammonia.
b. Runoff from vapor control or dilution may cause pollution.
Determining Spill Size: Generally, a small spill is one that involves a single, small
container (55-gallon capacity or less), or a small (non-continuing) leak from a larger
tank or vessel.
Small Spill:
a. Flush area with flooding amounts of water.
b. First isolate 100 feet in all directions and then protect persons downwind 0.1 miles
during daylight and 0.1 miles at night.
Large Spill:
a. Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal.
b. Follow local emergency protocol for handling.
c. First isolate 200 feet in all directions, than protect persons downwind 0.4 miles

Page 141
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

during daylight and 1.4 miles at night.

Section 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

Follow the current ANSI-K61.1 Standard, ―Safety Requirements for the Storage and
Handling of Anhydrous Ammonia‖, or applicable Ammonia Manufacturing Industry
Standards. (See Section 15 for information on Equipment, Pressure Vessels and
Testing).
Handling Precautions: Use proper personal protective equipment when working with
or around ammonia. See Section 8.

Section 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION

Molecular Weight : 70.90 g/mole
CAS Registry No. : 7782-50-5

Section 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

EXPOSURE TO THIS PRODUCT IS :
Highly toxic agent via inhalation and ingestion. Primarily an intense respiratory irritant
and a major potential hazard upon contact to skin and eyes. Sufficient concentration of
the gas irritates the mucous membranes. It can cause pulmonary edema. Liquid
chlorine in contact with skin will cause frostbite, smarting of the skin and first-degree
burns on short exposure; may cause secondary burns on long exposure. Vapors will
cause severe irritation of eyes and throat and can cause eye and lung injury. Vapors
cannot be tolerated even at low concentrations. In extreme cases, difficulty of
breathing may increase to the point where death can occur from suffocation. The
characteristic, penetrating odor of chlorine gas gives warning of its presence in the air.

Section 4: FIRST AID MEASURES

GENERAL:
Prompt treatment of anyone overcome or seriously exposed to chlorine, is of utmost
importance. The patient should be removed from contaminated area. Obtain medical
assistance as soon as possible.
CONTACT WITH SKIN OR MUCOUS MEMBRANES: Immediately wash
contaminated skin and clothing with copious amounts of water for a minimum of 15
minutes. Contaminated clothing should be removed under the shower and the chlorine
should be washed off with very large quantities of water. Skin areas should be washed
with large quantities of soap and water. Never attempt to neutralize chlorine with
chemicals. Salves and ointment should not be applied unless directed by a physician.

Page 155
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

Call or see a physician. (If victim has also inhaled chlorine, first aid for inhalation
should be given first).
CONTACT WITH EYES: Immediately flush eyes with large amount of running water
for at least 15 minutes even if minute quantities of liquid chlorine enter the eyes. Never
attempt to neutralize with chemicals. The eyelids should be held apart during this
period to ensure contact of water with accessible tissues of the eyes and lids. Call a
physician, preferably and eye specialist, at once. If physician is not immediately
available, the eye irrigation should be continued for a second period of 15 minutes. No
oils or oily ointments, or any medications should be instilled unless ordered by the
physician.
INHALATION: Remove victim from source of exposure. If breathing has not ceased,
the patient should be placed in a comfortable position and be kept warm and remain at
rest until medical help arrives. If breathing stops, administer artificial respiration. If
available, oxygen should be administered. Call a physician.
INGESTION: Not pertinent, ingestion unlikely (chlorine is agas above –34.5 0C).

Section 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Autoignition Point : Not Applicable
Flash Point : Not Flammable
Flammability/Explosive limits : Not Flammable
Fire/Explosion Hazards: Toxic products are generated when
combustibles burn with chlorine, although gas is notflammable.
Fire Prevention/ Extinguishing Media : Not Applicable

Section 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

IN CASE OF SPILL OR RELEASE ;
Move people from the area. Move upwind. Avoid contact with acid. Stop leaks if safe
to do so. Reposition container if this will reduce or stop leakage. If leak continues,
remove leaking container from vehicle or move other materials from vehicle away from
container. Never use water on a chlorine leak. Water will make the leak worst. If
efforts to control leak fails, and the leakage continues, suitable provision should be
available with all Chlorine from the leaking containers. Chlorine maybe absorbed in
solution of caustic soda, soda ash or hydrated lime.

Section 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

Storage Requirements: Protect against physical damage. Store outdoors or indoors in
a well-ventilated, detached, or segregated area of noncombustible construction.

Section 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

ACUTE TOXICITY: When a sufficient concentration of chlorine gas is present, it will
irritate the mucous membranes, the respiratory system and the skin. Large amounts
cause irritation of eyes, coughing and labored breathing. If the duration of exposure or
the concentration of chlorine is excessive, general excitement of the person affected,
accompanied by restlessness, throat irritation, and sneezing and copious salivation
results. The symptoms of exposure to high concentrations are retching and vomiting,
followed by difficult breathing. Chlorine produces no systemic effect. All symptoms and
signs result directly or indirectly from the local irritant action.
CHRONIC TOXICITY: Low concentrations of chlorine gas in the air may have a minor
irritating effect or may produce slight symptoms after several hours exposure, but
careful examination of persons repeatedly exposed to such conditions reportedly have
shown no chronic effect.
Reproductive Effects/Cancer Information: No data available

Section 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

ECOTOXICITY DATA: Combination of chlorine with ammonia, organic matter, and
cyanide maybe detrimental to fish life.

Section 1: PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION

PRODUCT NAME: Hydrogen, compressed
CHEMICAL NAME: Hydrogen FORMULA: H2
SYNONYMS: None

Section 2: COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS

Hydrogen is sold as pure product >99%
CAS NUMBER:1333-74-0
EXPOSURE LIMITS:
OSHA: None
ACGIH: Simple asphyxiant

Section 3: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Hydrogen is a flammable, colorless, odorless, compressed gas packaged in cylinders
at high pressure. It poses an immediate fire and explosive hazard when
concentrations exceed 4%. It is much lighter than air and burns with an invisible flame.
High concentrations that will cause suffocation are within the flammable range and
must not be entered.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS INFORMATION:
INHALATION:
Asphyxiant. It should be noted that before suffocation could occur, the lower
flammability limit of hydrogen in air would be exceeded possibly causing both an
oxygen-deficient and explosive atmosphere. Exposure to moderate concentrations
may cause dizziness, headache, nausea and unconsciousness. Exposure to
atmospheres containing 8-10% or less oxygen will quickly bring about
unconsciousness without warning leaving individuals unable to protect themselves.
Lack of sufficient oxygen may cause serious injury or death.
EYE CONTACT: None
SKIN CONTACT: None

Page 178
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

CHRONIC EFFECTS: None

OTHER EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: None
EXPOSURE INFORMATION:
ROUTE OF ENTRY: Inhalation
TARGET ORGANS: None
EFFECT: Asphyxiation (suffocation)
SYMPTOMS: Exposure to an oxygen-deficient atmosphere (<19.5%) may cause
dizziness,
drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, excess salivation, diminished mental alertness, loss of
consciousness, and death.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE: None
CARCINOGENIC POTENTIAL: Hydrogen is not listed by NTP, OSHA or IARC.

Section 4: FIRST AID

INHALATION: Persons suffering from lack of oxygen should be removed to fresh air.
If victim is not breathing, administer artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
administer oxygen. Obtain prompt medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: None
EYE CONTACT: None
INGESTION: None
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: None

Section 5: FIRE AND EXPLOSION

FLASH POINT: AUTOIGNITION: FLAMMABLE LIMITS:
Flammable gas 565.5_C (1050_F) LOWER: 4% UPPER:
74%
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: CO2, dry chemical, water spray or fog for surrounding
area. Do not extinguish until hydrogen source is shut off.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: None
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Evacuate all personnel from danger
area. Immediately cool container with water spray from maximum distance, taking
care not to extinguish flames. If flames are accidentally extinguished, explosive re-
ignition may occur. Stop flow of gas if without risk while continuing cooling water
spray.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Burns with a pale blue, nearly
invisible flame.

Page 179
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

Hydrogen is easily ignited with low-ignition energy, including static electricity.

Hydrogen is lighter than air and can accumulate in the upper sections of enclosed
spaces. Pressure in a container can build up due to heat, and it may rupture if
pressure relief devices should fail to function.

Section 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Evacuate immediate area. Eliminate any possible sources of ignition, and provide
maximum explosion pro of ventilation. Shut off source of hydrogen, if possible. If
leaking from cylinder, or valve, call the Air Products' emergency phone number. The
presence of a hydrogen flame can be detected by approaching cautiously with an
outstretched straw broom to make the flame visible.

Section 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

STORAGE:
Specific requirements are listed in NFPA 50A. Cylinder storage locations should be
wellprotected, well-ventilated, dry, and separated from combustible materials.
Cylinders should never knowingly be allowed to reach a temperature exceeding 125
_F (52 _C). Cylinders of hydrogen should be separated from oxygen cylinders or other
oxidizers by a minimum distance of 20 ft., or by a barrier of noncombustible material at
least 5 ft. high having a fire resistance rating of at least _ hour. Cylinders should be
stored upright with valve protection cap in place and firmly secured to prevent falling
or being knocked over. Protect cylinders from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide
or drop. Use a suitable hand truck for cylinder movement. Post "No Smoking or Open
Flames" signs in the storage areas. There should be no sources of ignition. All
electrical equipment should be explosion proof in the storage and use areas. Storage
areas must meet national electric codes for class 1 hazardous areas.
HANDLING:
Do not "open" hydrogen cylinder valve before connecting it, since self-ignition may
occur. Hydrogen is the lightest gas known and may collect in the top of buildings with
out proper ventilation. It may leak out of a system which is gas-tight for air or other
gases. Leak check system with leak detection solution, never with flame. If user
experiences difficulty operating cylinder valve, discontinue use and contact supplier.
Use only approved CGA connections. DO NOT USE ADAPTERS. Never insert an
object (e.g., wrench, screwdriver, pry bar, etc.) into valve cap openings. Doing so may
damage valve, causing a leak to occur. Use an adjustable strap wrench to remove
over-tight or rusted caps. Never strike an arc on a compressed gas cylinder or make a
cylinder a part of an electrical circuit.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS:
Use piping and equipment adequately designed to withstand pressures to be

Page 180
 Offsite Emergency Plan 2025 for Surendranagar District

encountered. Use a check valve or other protective apparatus in any line or piping
from the cylinder to prevent reverse flow.

Section 8: PERSONAL PROTECTION/EXPOSURE CONTROLS

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Provide natural or explosion-proof ventilation adequate to ensure hydrogen does not
reach its lower explosive limit of 4%.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
General Use: None
Emergency Use: Air supplied respirators are required in oxygen-deficient
atmospheres. Before entering area you must check for flammable or oxygen-deficient
atmospheres.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Work gloves are recommended when handling cylinders.
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses are recommended when handling cylinders.

Section 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Spillage As this product has a very low flash point any spillage or leak is a fire and / or
explosion hazard. If a leak has not ignited, stop gas flow, isolate sources of ignition
and evacuate personnel.
Ensure good ventilation.
Liquid leaks generate large volumes of heavier than air flammable vapour which may
travel to remote sources of ignition (eg along drainage systems).
Where appropriate, use water spray to disperse the gas or vapour and to protect
personnel attempting to stop leakage.
Vapour may collect in any confined space.
Gas Cylinders If the cylinder is leaking, eliminate all potential ignition sources and
evacuate area of personnel. Inform manufacturer / supplier of leak.
If safe to enter the area, wear appropriate PPE and carefully move the cylinder to a
well ventilated remote area, then allow to discharge.
Do not attempt to repair leaking valve or cylinder fusible plugs.
For vessels operate the Emergency Shutdown System (where fitted) and proceed as
above.
