1. Preamble

1.1 Definition of Emergency:
An emergency may be defined as sudden occurrence of such magnitude so as to bring about a

disruption in the normal activities inside plant with a potential to cause injury, loss of life, damage
to property within or outside the working premises.
1.2 Potential Emergency Situations:
Emergency situations are a discrete phenomenon and not a continuous occurrence otherwise it
will loose its "emergency" credentials. These situations have different shades and colours of their
intensity to cause damage and hence they need to be identified in the form in which they
manifest.
Considering the location and the type of activities carried out on site in HF, different types of
emergency situations as given below are envisaged for drawing up this plan:
1. Fire & Explosions Fire & Explosions.

2. Incidents/Accidents causing injury, permanent disability or fatality
3. Spillage and leakages of hazardous substances
4. Failure of air pollution control equipments
5. Supply of Contaminated water for drinking purpose, Food poisoning.
6. Natural calamity earthquake.
7. Failure of Paint Shop exhausts system.
