SPILL CONTROL PROCEDURE, REPORTING ANDGUIDANCE 1. Introduction Masana supplies petroleum products such as diesel, bitumen, petrol, illuminating paraffin and heavy furnace oil to various sites and these products may be stored in either above ground storage tanks (AST) or underground storage tanks (UST). Deliveries are mode by means of rood tankers and the products areeither gravitydispensed into UST'sorpumped into AST's. As petroleum products arehazardous materialsthey pose a serious risk to people, property, andthe environment in the event of a spill. Consequently, it is very important to ensure that there are appropriate spill control procedures inplace to prevent injury to persons anddamage to property andthe environment. This document is a guide to implement a spill emergency plan in accordance with Statutory and Duty of Care requirements and applies to allMasana sites. Aspill(or spillage) can bedefined as "an unintentional and sudden lossof containment of any material” Spillsmust be addressed both speedily and effectively toensure thatthey oresafely contained. If they arenot then they con rapidly escalate in danger and impact leading to an escalating chain of events and potentially a major incident. For example, a spill of petrol in the yard area may be ignited by a vehicle or by a static-electric ignition source causing on explosion or washed by rain into a drain or the surrounding environment and cause environmental damage and risk to people living and working nearby. Every site must therefore have a response procedure inplace that con deal successfully with any spill that might occur onthat site. Spills of greater than 20 litresof dangerous goods and serious near misses must be investigated and reported to Masana and the relevant authorities. This is to ensure that correct measures oretoken to understand the cause of the spill for corrective and preventative measures to be taken to prevent reoccurrence and for any impacts resulting from the spill to be properly assessed and remediated if required. 2. Procedure Spill control procedures to clearly inform how spills con be controlled, cleared up and reported must be implemented. The aim isto ensure minimal damage to the environment and that risks to health and safety of those involved in the activity are reduced as far as practicable. These procedures must be established atallsiteswhere petroleum products arestored, handled ortransferred. Employees who may have to deal with spills must be given training in these procedures and refresher training should begivenatleastonce every three years. All employees must be made aware of what to do in case of a spill. This should include: who to alert in case of a spill; where to evacuate to incase of a major spill and the need to ensure that there are no ignition sources where flammable liquidshave been spilled.
