Example of Report of Mock drill

Scenario: Oily rags used in the shop floor are removed outside and thrown in the storage area where they catch fire due to welding activity. Dried grass present around gets ignited resulting in a wildfire.

11:00 am: Smoke coming out from the back of the Press shop is seen by the security guard Mr. P. P. Deshmukh who was on a patrol round.

11:02 am: Mr. P. P. Deshmukh immediately reached on the spot to find that there was a fire in an incipient stage due to the welding activity going around and the sparks flying out of it.

11:03 am: Mr. P. P. Deshmukh immediately stopped the welding activity and alerted the contractor person working around who did not keep any water or sand bucket or any water fire extinguisher with him while working.

11:04 am: Mr. P. P. Deshmukh immediately called up Gate office/Emergency Control Centre and Security supervisor Mr. M. N. Jorvekar who in turn called up Asst. Safety Manager Mr. Santosh Kasalkar, Site Controller Mr. Sunilkumar Shinde and Incident Controller Mr. J. G. Swami.

11:05 am: Mr. Kasalkar and Mr. Jorvekar rushed to the spot to find that the fire had grown wild due to the surrounding dry grass. Mr. Kasalkar immediately informed Mr. Sunilkumar Shinde about the situation who inturn declared it an emergency and ordered the Main Gate to be closed and the wailing emergency siren to be sounded.

11:07 am: Fire fighting team members rushed on to the spot with ABC fire extinguishers and the garden pipe was also started.
One of the operators Mr. Gangadhar Suryawanshi got injured while trying to rush to the spot with the extinguisher. Communication Officer Mr. Padghan immediately called the Ambulance which took him away to the medical dispensary for first aid. In the meanwhile, all the operators working inside rushed out and gathered at the safe assembly point. A head count was taken to check for any missing person.

11:10 am: Fire was completely extinguished with the help of ABC fire extinguishers and the garden hose. The all-clear siren was sounded.
A meeting was held on the spot to study the observations and take corrective and preventive action.

Following were the Observations made:
1) Welding activity should have been carried out under the supervision of concerned department supervisor.
2) Before starting, adequate safety measures like availability of fire extinguishers, water and sand buckets, etc should be made.
3) Welding activity should be carried out at such a place which is away from flammable liquids, gas or other fuels like dried grass, oily rags, etc which can easily catch fire due to the flying sparks.
4) The welder had a small piece of a broken glass which he held in front of his eyes during welding while his helper did not have anything and held his hand in front of his eyes.
5) The electrical connection was far off and the wire traveled all along the floor without any protection. Also, there was no proper 3 pin plug and the wires were just tucked inside the switchboard.
6) Took some time for the fire fighting team members to transfer the extinguisher to the site as ABC fire extinguisher was not visible anywhere.
7) Ambulance siren and light not working.

Following Corrective actions are taken.

1) All welding activity will be done under the supervision of the contractor and the concerned dept supervisor.
2) Both the responsible persons will ensure that welding is done at a safe designated area, with proper electrical connections and with the right PPE’s used.
3) Fire fighting extinguishers, buckets, etc will be first arranged for before starting the activity.
4) The security dept is to be made aware of by informing them before starting the welding work.
5) The ambulance needs to be checked by the security every day for level of fuel, and every week for battery charge status, condition of first aid box, siren light, etc.
6) Response time to be reduced further by swift transfer of extinguishers to the site. Training to be given for fast operation to the firefighters.

 1.0      IMPLEMENTATION OF EHS AT XXX.

1.1 Following focal areas are addressed by our Environmental Occupation Health and Safety Management system:

  • Conservation of resources especially Energy, Water, Fuel and Petroleum Products used in processes.
  • Optimum utilization of energy.
  • Minimum wastage & optimum utilization of diesel, lubricants, hydraulic oils, water by minimizing its leakage, spillage during storage, recycling and periodic maintenance of machinery.
  • Upkeep of equipment machinery in good working condition for maintaining their efficiency levels by periodic servicing and checking as per maintenance schedule.
  • Reduce waste generation in the manufacturing of moldings & sleeves.

Fire, Spillage of chemicals & oil in large quantities, Gas leakage in large quantities are identified as potential foreseeable emergencies in our nature of operations. A separate procedure is in place to address these environmental emergencies. Management Programs are formed in order to make permanent changes in the existing systems. Operating Control Procedures in different departments are implemented to maintain the processes under controlled conditions. These programs & procedures are implemented on the departmental level; any deviations are recorded & taken up in Management Review (Core group) meeting by Management Representative. All employees are aware of the EHS systems and their roles & responsibilities for implementing the same through rigorous training.

Ultimately our system aims at continual improvement. Once the Objectives / Targets are achieved/implemented through Management Programs, new Objectives & targets demanding a higher level of environmental performance will be set & achieved. This journey for continual improvement is ongoing & endless. We have just made the beginning. We are sure that our perseverance, patience, untiring efforts & inner urge shall help us achieve this noble cause of protecting our environment.
