1.0 PURPOSE OF PLAN
This plan has been prepared for the Sika Australia Pty Ltd for the Sites located at 55 Elizabeth
Street, Wetherill Park, NSW 2164 and 18 Hargraves Place, Wetherill Park, NSW 2164. (see
Map Appendix 1). This plan replaces the previous Emergency Plan to include provisions to
address pollution incidents, which is detailed in the Pollution Incident Response Management
Plan (PIRMP).
The Wetherill Park Site includes production plant, warehouses, laboratory and offices (see
Map Appendix 2).
A range of concrete admixtures, liquid colour and resin based products mainly, epoxy resin
products are produced using various chemical raw materials.
In the event of an emergency, or if a pollution incident occurs during an activity carried out on
Site which poses a risk of material harm to the environment, the person carrying out the
activity must immediately implement this plan.
The purpose of the plan is to:
Provide information, and procedures to be followed, in the event of an emergency or
pollution incident involving Site facilities, personnel, the environment, and external
emergency services.
Control and limit any effect that an emergency or pollution incident, including potential
incidents, may have on the Site or neighbouring areas, protecting employment and
save lives.
To facilitate emergency response and to provide ready assistance on the Site
appropriate to the situation,
To ensure timely communication of all vital information of an emergency or a pollution
incident to staff, the Environment Protection Authority (EPA), other relevant authorities
and all other stakeholders affected by the impacts of the incident,
To identify risks relating to the activities on Site and to develop actions to minimise
and manage these risks
To facilitate reorganisation and reconstruction activities so that normal operations can
be resumed, and
To facilitate and advise the necessary training so that a high level of preparedness
can be continually maintained.

These procedures were formulated to meet the requirements of Australian Standard
AS 3745-2010- Planning for emergencies in facilities.
The principal function of the emergency procedures is to ensure the safety of personnel.
To this end, we seek your cooperation in observing the procedures and in the event of an
emergency, the instructions given by the Wardens.
Whenever these emergencies occur, it is essential that procedures and organisational
arrangements are prepared for the orderly movement of occupants out of the danger area,
to an area of safety.
All building occupants are required to participate in emergency planning and evacuation
exercises and acknowledge the authority of appointed Wardens (Emergency Control
Organisation) in emergency situations.
Instructions given by the Emergency Control Organisation will overrule normal
management structure.
It is also the direct responsibility of SIKA AUSTRALIA PTY LTD’s management to
organise and establish emergency procedures for the safety of their staff based on this
manual.

AFTER HOURS
Site is shut down - No need to consider evacuation.
3.5 RADIO PROTOCOL
The 2-way radios held on Site have “common” transmission and receiving frequencies.
This means that communication can only be “one-way” at any time. It is thus necessary to
confirm that the communication has been received and understood by the recipient(s).
The initiator should firstly identify himself and the intended receiver. The message should
then be sent followed by “over” (“end-of-message). The receiver should then identify
himself and acknowledge confirmation.
Example: “This is the Chief Warden from Hargraves Place. Do you receive me
ECO? Over”
“This is the Elizabeth St. ECO receiving. Over”

6.0 SCOPE AND DEFINITIONS
6.1 POLICY
In all cases of emergency the main objectives in order of priority are:
1 Control or limit any effect that an emergency may have on the Site or on neighbouring
areas, and in particular to minimize the risk, in order of priority, to :
Life
Property

2 Ensure a coordinated response to any emergency on the Site and to provide for
appropriate assistance from external emergency services (police, fire brigade and
ambulance).
3 Ensure satisfactory communication of all vital information as soon as possible.
4 Facilitate resumption of normal operations when appropriate.
5 Provide a basis for training personnel in the handling of emergencies, and to provide a
model for plant emergency procedures.
In the case of a pollution incident, the main objectives of the plan are:
1 Ensure comprehensive and timely communication about a pollution incident to staff, the
EPA, other relevant authorities, and the people outside the facility who may be
affected.
2 Minimise and control the risk of a pollution incident at the Site
3 Ensure plan is properly implemented by trained staff, regularly tested and reviewed.

Pollution Incident:
An incident or set of circumstances during or as a consequence of which there is or is
likely to be a leak, spill or other escape or deposit of a substance, as a result of which
pollution has occurred, is occurring or is likely to occur. It includes as incident or set
of circumstances in which a substance has been placed or disposed of on premises,
but it does not include an incident or set of circumstances involving only the emission
of any noise.
The three levels of emergency are as follows:
1 LOCAL alert for any situation which threatens life, property or the environment and
cannot be contained by immediate resources. For example, plant operator collapsed in
a closed vessel or fire.
2 SITE alert where other areas of the Site or people, property or the environment outside
the Site may be affected. For example, the contamination of stormwater system on Site
3 EVACUATION alert when all personnel are required to leave the Site and assemble in
a safe location. For example, a bomb threat, or fire.
More information on the types of emergencies which may occur is listed in Section 6.3.
If there is any doubt as to whether any hazardous situation constitutes an emergency,
then it must be treated as an emergency.

smoke detectors are installed in all offices, and labs, with a direct link to the local alarm
systems. All areas are bund for containment of chemicals, and provided with
appropriate first response, fire fighting equipment. This type of emergency may require
the evacuation of neighbours. Contact may be made at the direction of the Chief
Warden.
Instruction to neighbours before External Emergency Services arrive could be to;
* Turn off air-conditioners
* Commence their procedures
Note: the police have responsibility to control external roadways, pedestrians and
vehicles.
Bomb Threat
All available information must be collated and threats should be categorised as either
specific or non specific threat. This will assist in deciding what further actions have to be
taken.
Specific – least common but more credible. The caller provides detail that may
describe the device, its placement, the reason, its time of activation, etc.
Non Specific – little detail before the call is terminated.

Neither threat should be discounted and decisions now have to be made by an assessing
team.
When a bomb threat is received the General Manager/Operation Manager and ECO
Team, including the Chief Warden, should be notified.
The following four options are available:
1. Take no further action but inform Police
2. Search without evacuation but inform Police
3. Evacuate and Search but inform Police
4. Evacuate (without search) inform Police
The notification of Police is not optional, in the event of taking no further action, reporting
is required as a threat is a crime and as such has to be reported.
The appropriate response will depend on the level of the perceived risk. In determining
the perceived risk, the following issues should be considered:
The nature or type of caller – Was there any Site specific knowledge demonstrated by
the caller? Was it seemingly premeditated by the caller? (i.e. Scripted threat, or
recorded voice) This may increase the level of perceived risk. Was it a Child's voice or
were there people giggling in the background? If there are factors which suggest the
call is less genuine, this will lessen the perceived risk.
The frequency of the threats being received. If threats are received on a more frequent
basis, the level of perceived risk will be reduced.
Timing of the threat. If the threat is received during school holidays or April Fool's day
the perceived risk will be less. However, if the threat is received during periods of
increased building occupancy or a Site-specific function, the perceived risk may be
elevated.
Is it possible that the call is a Copy-Cat call? If there have been media reports recently
this may lead to an increase in frequency of false threats and hence would reduce the
perceived risk.
Will immediate evacuation of the building expose people to greater danger? If you
believe the location of the bomb/threat is in building vicinity, occupants may be safer
remaining in the building.
What is the size of the building and how many people are involved? Where there are
fewer people it may be more appropriate to consider evacuation even where the
perceived risk is low. However, where there are many people involved and there is a
lower perceived risk (i.e. telephone call without a suspicious package) a full building
evacuation may not be warranted as the costs associated with evacuating a large
number of people would be considered excessive considered the risk.

It is the responsibility of the ECO team to consider the risk and determine which of the
four options is the most appropriate action.
Before an unattended item is deemed suspicious the following questions must be asked
by the Chief Warden.
H – Is the item HIDDEN?
O – Is the item OBVIOUSLY suspicious?
T – Is the item TYPICAL of items usually found in that area?
If the finder of a suspicious package is still unsure the following questions in conjunction
with HOT should be asked:
U - Is there evidence or reports of UNAUTHORISED access or activity?
P – Is there PUBLIC access to the area?
Communications during Search
A rapid two-way communication system is of utmost importance. Normally
communications between search teams and the Chief Warden can be accomplished
through the existing telephone system, or building intercommunications system.
Caution: The use of radios or mobile phones could prove dangerous. The transmission
could cause premature detonation of an electric initiator (blasting cap). Do not transmit
within 25m of a suspect item or farther if possible.
The Chief Warden will make the decision on the use of radio communication whilst the
search is in progress, based upon the level of credibility or the nature of the threat.
If a Suspect Object is Found
DO NOT TOUCH, TILT OR TAMPER WITH THE DEVICE
The Floor Warden for that floor will:
1. Advise the Chief Warden.
2. Proceed to evacuate the floor.
The Chief Warden will:
1. Advise Police and Fire Brigade.
2. Advise the Floor Wardens concerned to evacuate two floors above and one floor
below the "suspect" floor.
3. Alert the Ambulance service.

1. Immediately notify the Chief Warden or Security.
2. Place the threat document in a plastic envelop or transparent folder to preserve
condition and prevent contamination.
3. Do Not photocopy.
4. Surrender document to Chief Warden.
Bomb Threat Evacuation
Proceed with evacuation procedures keeping in mind the following:
Route of evacuation may need to be changed to avoid a suspect object. Wardens
should be advised of a suspect object’s location prior to evacuation.
As a minimum, evacuation routes, Assembly Areas and areas of access to the general
public must be searched prior to any evacuation.
Occupants should be requested to take personal belongings such as handbags,
briefcases, shopping bags etc when evacuating.
Doors and windows should be kept open, to lessen the impact from an explosion.
Evacuation should be initiated no later than 30 minutes prior to any deadline.
Persons should not assemble in any location that is in line of sight to the possible
danger area.
An alternative Assembly Area should be considered
Building re-entry should only be considered after a thorough search has been
conducted and after consultation with Police, Security and Management.
Car Park
During a bomb threat, a search may be undertaken. If a device is found in the car park or
a threat indicates a device has been left in the car park, the Chief Warden should:
1. Ensure Police are notified and Ambulance if required.
2. Ensure vehicle and pedestrian access is restricted to the responding Emergency
Service.
3. If necessary, commence evacuation of the Site.
4. Until advised by appropriate Emergency Service, no vehicle or persons can re-
enter the car park.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANYONE CONFRONT THE AGGRESSOR.
Chemical & Hazardous Substances
Sika Australia Pty Ltd uses a wide range of chemical substances ranging from safe, non-toxic
mixtures through to highly toxic and very unstable substances, which could, if leaked, cause
disruption and injury.
All chemicals should be recorded and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) held for all
substances. Supporting this, the labelling, handling, storage, transport and use of chemical is
adequate and compliant with industry standards
If a chemical leak occurs, the Chief Warden should:
1. Proceed immediately to scene of leak without placing themselves at risk.
2. Establish scope of emergency and whether safe containment will be speedily
achieved. If in doubt, commence evacuation. In the case of noxious odour, air
borne contaminates, shut down air conditioning and seal area of origin if
necessary.
3. Notify Emergency Service and ensure Fire Brigade are notified and ambulance if
required. If material harm to the environment is caused or threatened, notify
relevant authorities by following Section 11.0 Notification of a Pollution Incident.

Medical Emergency
The possibility of a medical emergency has to be considered during the course of a normal
working day.
Although not directly related to the operation of the building, management and staff must be
prepared to take appropriate steps to assist the ill or injured.
If any person is made aware of a medical emergency, they should:
1. Dial 000 and advise Ambulance of details of the injured person, give:
Name Your Name
Address 55 Elizabeth Street Wetherill Park
2. Dispatch a trained First Aid Officer to the scene, if available.
3. Based on their training, the First Aid Officer should render assistance to the injured
and make them comfortable.
4. If the injury has resulted from a fall, DO NOT move the person and where possible
do not leave them unattended.

Secure occupants away from the incident area
Arrange for contractors to assist in assessing building damage and functionality when
and only if safe to do so.
Severe Storm
1. On notification of impending cyclone or severe storm, ensure all loose items are
secured
2. Close all windows, curtains, blinds and external doors
3. Move computers and valuables away from windows or items that may fall
4. Turn off electrical appliances
5. Lightning strikes may cause power failure which will affect services such as lighting,
lifts, heating or air conditioning, ventilation and building fire systems
6. Seek shelter under tables or desks and away from items such as bookcases and
other furniture that may fall or slide.
7. If outdoors, move to an open space away from trees, power lines.
8. Refrain from using the telephone immediately unless for serious injury.
9. Restrict the use of vehicles and use only where necessary.
Water Leaks or Flooding
Floods caused by domestic systems usually do not endanger people but can cause extensive
damage to buildings and equipment. Floods caused by the overflow of stormwater drains,
creeks, rivers and streams are extremely dangerous and may require evacuation of buildings.
If water leaks or flooding occurs:
Turn off water at source if possible.
If possible, isolate electrical sources (if known).
If available and considered useful, local spill kits should be used to restrict the flow
of water.
If material harm to the environment is caused or threatened, notify relevant
authorities by following Section 11.0 Notification of a Pollution Incident.

Consider evacuation.
Don’t move people from safety to danger. Flood waters are unsafe and evacuees
should not walk through water.
Building Damage
Generally, buildings in Australia can withstand a certain amount of damage without placing
their occupants at risk. Recent experience however, has shown that although rare, there is a
remote possibility of building failure due to unexpected forces such as earthquake. Other
possible causes of failure may be explosion, internal failure and collision.
When Damage Occurs:
1. Take immediate refuge under desk or benches, under door frames, archways etc.
2. Stay clear of racking, filing cabinets, shelves and bookcases etc.
3. Maintain refuge until structural safety checks are completed.
4. DO NOT SMOKE, USE MATCHES OR LIGHTERS.
Loss of Containment - Spills
An escape of a significant quantity of any chemical from its container would result in an
emergency situation or damage to the environment. The locations of 5 spill control
bins are shown in Appendix 5.
The effects of spillages vary widely and depend on the quantity and material involved.
The Site is fully bund in all warehouses and plants.
Immediate reference must be made to relevant Material Safety Data Sheets for
the appropriate management of any spill together with any PPE required.
If material harm to the environment is caused or threatened, notify relevant
authorities by following Section 11.0 Notification of a Pollution Incident.
Poisoning
The effects of poisoning vary widely and depend on the quantity, method of contact
and chemicals involved.
Any potential for direct contact with any chemical must be avoided as poisoning can
occur when:
inhaled - by breathing in

absorbed - by skin and eye contact
ingested - via the mouth
Immediate reference must be made to relevant Material Safety Data Sheets for the
appropriate management of any poisoning.
Environment / Pollution
Any potential for pollution of the environment on or off Site, must be avoided. This
includes discharges to atmosphere from the plant or warehouse and care must be
taken to see no spillages occur that could discharge to stormwater systems. If a
pollution incident occurs, this plan must be activated and appropriate steps are to be
taken. Relevant authorities must be notified by following Section 11.0 Notification of a
Pollution Incident or the Notification of a Pollution Incident Procedure in Appendix 12.
Reference may be made to relevant Material Safety Data Sheets for the appropriate
management of any spill together with any PPE required.

c) Neighbours
In the case of emergency conditions on neighbouring factories and warehouses, i.e.
fire, adjoining Site buildings may require action by this Site's personnel for their own
protection and exposure.
The Chief Warden may direct any action required to;
Monitor wind direction, via his/her own interpretation to avoid exposure to
smoke and toxic fumes;
Monitor Site personnel for any health effects i.e. coughing, dizziness; and
Turn off air-conditioners and evacuate Site staff upwind.
Impact Events
Road vehicles and aircraft do present a possibility of impact with plant or storage facilities.
Large road vehicles at times may move inside Site buildings (particularly in the production
area). Aircraft from Pinkenba Airport periodically fly over the Pinkenba Site.
Emergency situations caused by impact of road vehicles or aircraft are likely to be similar to
those emergency types described previously i.e. fire, explosion or spillage. Such events will
be random occurrences totally unexpected and possibly disastrous. Normal plant emergency

procedures will be used, ensuring that all emergency services and the Pinkenba Site are
alerted immediately.
If material harm to the environment is caused or threatened, notify relevant authorities by
following Section 11.0 Notification of a Pollution Incident.
Civil Disturbances
Demonstrations, riots and bomb threats may result in emergency situations. Specific
procedures for dealing with bomb threats are given on in Section 15.
Because civil disturbances such as public demonstrations may become violent and result in
employee injury or property damage, it is important that Police be called immediately to control
the behaviour of demonstrators.
Natural Events
No attempt is made in this plan to specifically deal with natural events such as flood, bush fire,
earthquake, tidal wave or similar situations. General civil emergency procedures will be used
to manage such events in the remote circumstance of their occurrence at the Pinkenba Site.
6.4 SUMMARY OF HAZARDS
The risk of main hazards to human health or the environment have been assessed and
summarised in the table below. This table includes the description and likelihood of the
possible hazards, the circumstances or initiating event that could cause or increase the
likelihood of the incident occurring, and the pre-emptive actions or prevention measures
in place to minimise or prevent the risk of these hazards from occurring.
Likelihood (Frequency) is classified into the 5 x categories:
A - Almost certain Is expected to occur in most circumstances
B - Frequent Will probably occur in most circumstances
C - Occasional Could occur
D - Infrequent Could occur but not expected
E - Remote Occurs only in exceptional circumstances
Consequence is classified into the 5 x categories:
I - Catastrophic Off Site release – large detrimental impact
II - Major Off Site release – contained with outside assistance
III - Moderate On-Site release – contained with outside assistance
IV - Minor On-Site release – immediately contained
V - Negligible Negligible environmental impact

7.1 HAZCHEM CODES
Hazchem Codes are an abbreviated action code developed by UK Fire Services in order
to conveniently convey immediate response information. The key for the Hazchem Codes
(in above tables) is as follows:
The HAZCHEM Code consists of either two or three characters, the first being a numeral,
followed by either one or two letters.
THE NUMERAL
The first character, a numeral in the range of 1 to 4, indicates the type of medium to be
employed by the fire services personnel.
Medium Selection
1 indicates the use of solid streams of water
2 indicates the use of a water fog or fine water spray
3 indicates the use of a water-based foam
4 indicates the use of a dry agent such as a dry chemical powder, eg. sodium carbonate
or dry sand
THE SECOND CHARACTER
The second character in the code is a letter selected from the range P, R, S, T, W, X, Y, Z
which indicates the type of personal protection to be worn, the possibility of violent
reaction, and whether the substances and the medium employed should be contained or
the substances diluted. The characters are generally black on a white background.
Personal Protection
The letters P, R, W or X indicate that a full chemical protection suit and breathing
apparatus should be worn.
The letters and may on occasion appear as reversed characters indicate that breathing
apparatus need only be worn if the substances are involved in a fire.
THE THIRD CHARACTER
The third character, when appearing, is the letter E. This indicates that evacuation of
persons in the neighbouring areas must be taken into consideration. Persons in the
immediate area of the incident should always be evacuated to a safer location irrespective
of whether the letter E appears in the HAZCHEM Code.

8.0 FIRE/EMERGENCY ALARM SYSTEM
The Wetherill Park Sites have their own Fire/Emergency alarm system with both automatic
and break-glass initiation. These Sites also have heat and smoke detectors which activates
the siren response and also automatically calls out the local Fire Brigade.
8.1 ALARM ACTIVATION
i) Alert Alarm Siren – Siren blasts of 1-second duration at intervals of 1 second.
This alarm can be raised by anyone discovering an emergency situation.
Activation of alarm will commence by breaking the alarm glass. If the Chief
Warden is promptly informed of emergency details the alarm may be stopped
before 90 seconds elapses, after which time it reverts automatically to the
evacuation mode.
ii) Evacuation Alarm Siren – Repeated 3-second siren blasts at 1 second
intervals.
Note: The alarm will go through its alert sequence for 90 seconds prior
to evacuation alarm.
8.2 ALARM TESTING
Fire/Emergency alarms are regularly tested. Prior to testing, an alert is raised via the
PA system. Any alarm malfunction shall be reported to the Site Manager.
For The Elizabeth Street Site
1. Open the door of the left-hand beige control panel in the entrance foyer of the logistics and
laboratory building.

personnel) who observes an emergency situation, or a pollution incident with risk or
material harm to the environment, shall raise the Site alert alarm by activating the
break-glass fire alarm (refer Appendix 4).
Always sound the alarm even if in doubt about an event qualifying as an
emergency. Even small fires in plant areas must be treated as an emergency
situation.
The person raising the alarm should attempt to control the emergency only if safe
to do so.
Go or send someone quickly, with the details to the Chief Warden at the
Emergency assembly point.
If there is any danger in remaining in the emergency area go directly to the Site
assembly point and wait (see map appendix 7).

9.6 AFTER HOURS EMERGENCY
After hours emergency would be identified and monitored by security monitoring personnel.
Hence, the following events would occur in chronological order:
i) Fire/Emergency alarms will sound and will indicate locally.
This would be observed by security monitoring personnel or others nearby to the Site.
Site management will be contacted by the Fire Brigade as required.
ii) Security patrols and internal monitoring alarms will indicate any possible break-ins that
could lead to damage of facilities and stocks. Police and Site management will be
contacted by Security Services.
9.7 NEIGHBOURING PROPERTIES
Neighbouring properties could potentially be involved. Refer Appendix 8.
9.8 FIRE ORDER
A fire may cause significant property damage and human harm. A fire may also cause a
significant amount of smoke and toxic fumes (especially if involving chemicals) being
released to the atmosphere and the surrounding neighbours. The fire fighting water may
contain pollutants such as chemicals and may run into the stormwater system and pollute
the nearest stream, river, beach, etc. It is therefore important to know how to handle an
event involving a fire on Site.
The principles are as follows:
1. Be safe
Identify the location of the fire
2. Raise Alarm
Activate the fire/emergency alarm
Notify other colleagues and seek assistance
Notify Chief Warden
Notify Agencies such as Fire Services and/or follow Notification of a Pollution Incident
Procedure (as required)
Notify neighbours with safety instructions if they are likely to be impacted

10.0 TERMINATION OF AN EMERGENCY
10.1 INTERNAL ALERT
If the emergency was contained on Site and did not warrant activation of the evacuation
alarm, the Chief Warden will terminate the emergency (upon receiving satisfactory reports
from staff involved in control, rescue, first aid etc).
The Chief Warden will personally inform or delegate someone to inform all Site personnel, still
in alert mode, in other areas of the Site.
10.2 EXTERNAL EVACUATION
If the emergency involved evacuation and attendance by External Emergency Services, the
Chief Warden will consult with them and formally take back control, and will then advise the
Managing Director who will announce the termination to Site personnel.
The necessary actions for clean up, safe storage and disposal of all contaminated materials
will initially be the responsibility of the Chief Warden. He / she can choose to delegate these
responsibilities to other people.
10.3 RECOMMENCING OPERATIONS
Resumption of normal operation will depend on damage to operating plants, removal of
debris, repair or replacement of machinery and the need to preserve evidence (see under
Statutory Investigation).
The decision to resume operations will be made by the Chief Warden or his deputy when he is
satisfied it is safe to do so.
Note: All work clearances being used at the time of the emergency must be re-
validated before work can recommence after the emergency is over.

11.5 COMMUNICATING WITH NEIGHBOURS AND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY
The nearest neighbouring facilities have been identified in Appendix 8. The nearest
residents to the Site is approximately 1 km away so is unlikely to be affected
Communication mechanisms that would be used to notify these neighbouring facilities
would be dependent on the nature and extent of the pollution incident. Communication
methods used would primarily consist of telephone calls if the incident poses an
immediate threat to these neighbours. The Site may also utilise the following
communication methods to provide early warnings and regular updates to the owners and
occupiers of premises who may be affected by a pollution incident occurring:
Telephone calls (primary method);
Incident notifications on the company webSite;
Letterbox drops; or
Door-knocking
Specific information that can minimise the risk of harm will be provided to these
neighbours. For example, if a pollution incident occurs which causes the release of
smoke or fumes from the Site, the instructions to neighbours would be to turn off air
conditioning and evacuate staff up wind.

13.0 STATUTORY INVESTIGATION
There may be a statutory investigation into any Emergency.
A coronial enquiry may be held in the case of fire and will be held in the case of fatalities.
Relevant government authorities may also require investigating e.g. Department of Industrial
Relations and Employment, and Department of Environment and Planning.
The Chief Warden shall ensure that there is no interference with evidence and that any
cleaning up, repairs etc, apart from that necessary to bring the emergency under control does
no occur without approval of investigating officers.
The External Emergency Service Control Co-ordinator (Police) shall ensure that a senior police
officer is delegated to take charge of all aspects of the emergency which may later be subject of
a coronial inquiry.
13.1 INVESTIGATION AND WRITTEN REPORT
Immediately after the emergency is over the Chief Warden will arrange for a Site investigation
and written report of the incident to be prepared. The investigation will include a detailed
review of the sequence of events, communications and actions taken immediately prior to,
during and after the emergency situation.
Where available instrument charts, plant logs etc, will be examined carefully and retained. In
most cases photographs taken immediately after the emergency will be of value to the
investigators. Other evidence will be put in safe keeping when police have finished their
investigations. Those present at the emergency situation will be interviewed by the
investigating committee as soon as practical after the emergency.
The report will contain the following information:
Summary
Conclusions
Recommendations
Main body of the report should include brief relevant facts, findings, discussion and
analysis of findings and relevant operating data.
Appendices including photographs, diagrams, maps etc.
Normally the report will include a review of the emergency procedures and recommend
changes as required.

14.0 TRAINING, TESTING, AND DEVELOPMENT
Training will be arranged for SIKA AUSTRALIA PTY LTD personnel as appropriate to their
duties. This will include:
a) Induction Safety Training for all personnel includes emergency and pollution incident
response and evacuation.
b) Specialized training for operational personnel in local safety facilities.
c) Other training as relevant to their duties in first response fire fighting, first aid, etc.
d) Emergency and pollution incident response training for their area, alarm activation.
Cooperative training will also be arranged as agreed with the External Emergency Services
especially the NSW Fire Brigade.
Additional training methods used include toolbox meetings. A toolbox safety meeting is a
means of transferring information to the employees and is normally facilitated by the Plant
Manager.
Meetings shall be brief and concise.
Toolbox meetings shall be held with relevant staff not less than once every month.
Changes to Plant & Equipment as well as any changes to operating procedures / work
instructions shall be discussed.
A small concise topic is to be presented for consultation and discussion, e.g. wearing
of safety glasses, housekeeping.
Staff shall be given the opportunity at the conclusion of the meeting to discuss.
The minutes of the toolbox meeting shall be recorded by the Site Manager at the
conclusion of the meeting.
To assist in evaluating the effectiveness of training, a system of regular review shall take
place in the form of Management Review. The Management Review Team shall review and
evaluate Safety, Health and Environmental performance and to identify both training needs
and any improvements to operations required to be made on the Site.
To further assist in maintaining staff competencies, Sika Australia Pty Ltd commits that
employees shall be appropriately trained and retrained to minimise the risk of errors.
Annual performance appraisals are conducted with the view to determining any training
needs for each staff member.

OM
Process Owner: OM ***This is an uncontrolled copy of a controlled document printed 13/05/15*** Page 74 of 107
The plan will also be tested every 12 months and within 1 month of a pollution incident
occurring to ensure that the plan is capable of being implemented in a workable and effective
manner. PIRMP was last simulated and tested on 23 October 2014.
Evaluation of the plan will be conducted through simulated emergency drills. Each drill will be
planned with at least one of the production areas so that the Site plan is evaluated for
consistency and compatibility. The drills will include fire/emergency alarm testing, emergency
and pollution incident response testing, spill response testing, and the testing of other potential
emergencies. The plan will be reviewed and revised and the effectiveness of the training used
will be determined as a result of the test.
The drills will be conducted annually. The co-ordination of the drill is the responsibility of the
Operations Manager.
Records of these drills, including date of drill, name of staff member who carried out the testing,
and the location of the drill, will be kept in the prescribed format, a copy found in Appendix 11.

15.0 REVIEW AND REVISION
15.1 REVISION
This Site Emergency and Pollution Incident Response Management Plan shall be revised at
yearly intervals. Reviews shall be the responsibility of the Operations Manager and will be
conducted each after the simulated emergency exercise. This will ensure that the plan is
accurate and up to date.
The annual update may include items discussed in management meetings, which may require
further discussion before these can be resolved and included in the PIRMP.
The following list of issues and aspects on Site contains the currently discussed topics for
consideration to be included in the PIRMP:
More simulator type tests for spills – this would simulate the reaction of staff upon a spill
incident;
More routine Tool Box talks – routine Tool Box talks promotes proactivity in the
workplace;
Monthly Meetings involving all Production Staff – this allows for any suggestions to be
included, including environmental hazard-related incidents that could be incorporated
into the PIRMP;
Routine check to ensure spill kits are adequately filled up and maintained well, all the
time – this allows for a single point responsibility. The appointment of responsibility is yet
to be determined.
Maintenance of the main storm water valve – A recognised drain and plumbing
Company carries out the planned maintenance of the storm water valves in order to
maintain its good working condition.
15.2 TESTING
Testing is established by performing Simulated Emergency Exercises. This would be conducted
on an annual basis as per the relevant legislative requirements.
For the simulation of the emergency exercise, the Operations Manager shall either conduct the
testing by:
Himself with an appointed team of staff from SIKA AUSTRALIA PTY LTD, by performing
an emergency drill, which will be similar to a fire drill but would be of a pollution nature;
or
Through a consultant, who will then formulate an emergency scenario and shall direct
the emergency drill along with an appointed team of staff from SIKA AUSTRALIA PTY
LTD.
The following table provides a list of simulated emergency exercises established to date:

16.0 BOMB THREATS
A bomb threat is a notice received by any means, of any explosive device or bomb said to have
been placed, or found to be anywhere on Site.
While most bomb threats are hoaxes, every one must be taken seriously.
If found:
a) Do not touch, tilt or otherwise tamper with the object, whether it is a bomb,
improvised explosive device (IED) or whatever.
b) Immediately evacuate the area surrounding the object.
Consider the consequential damage and effect - both on Site - if process equipment,
storage or pipelines are involved.
Use the following guidelines:
i) In Building
Evacuate the area concerned as well as floors above and below. Commonsense must
prevail in areas such as open courtyards or where extremely large or very small objects
are located. The possibility of shrapnel must be considered. Consider
consequences if pipelines or process vessels are involved.
ii) Open Areas
Evacuate all persons to a safe distance - at least one hundred metres. Consideration
must be given to the size of the object and the possibility of shrapnel.
Safety perimeters must be maintained until the device is rendered safe. The person
taking such observations should remain in the safety area and approach police upon
their arrival to supply all details of information.
iii) Notify Police simultaneously with the commencement of evacuation. This could be done
by telephone 000.
iv) Take Observations
Quick detailed observations should be taken on a suspected IED. Time spent near an
IED must be kept to a minimum.
