OIL SPILL MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE
Document No: EM 4/63
Filed At: All Departments
1. OBJECTIVES
The purpose of the SOP Oil Spill Management Procedure is to train the operating
personnel to enable OPGC to implement measures to reduce the potential for a spill
event to occur and enable staff to respond promptly to contain, and counteract the
discharge in a safe, practical, and systematic manner so that the adverse impact on
environment due to oil handling can be minimised.
2. RESPONSIBILITY
ll Team !eaders are responsible for implementation of this SOP in their respective
areas.
3. CLASSIFICATION OF OIL SPILL / LEAK

4. PREVENTIVE MEASURES FOR MINIMISING OIL SPILL / LEAK
Concerned Operation and Maintenance 0O9M$ Team !eaders shall ensure follo&ing
preventive measures#
Minimise oil storage &here it is possible.
Provide good Primary Containers for storing oil.
3nsure provision of secondary containment for the primary oil container
0containing :); liter oil$ and primary oil containers are stored in a manner that
ma4imises spill prevention of oil to outside, incase of any oil lea" through primary
container.
Secondary containment should be provided &ith ade5uate si*e, impervious
flooring and dy"e &all, floor slope and sump pit to prevent spillage outside
secondary containment incase of emergency lea"age7spillage from Primary
Containment.
<ncase of oil storage in barrels, a shed should be provided.
<ncase of oil storage in tan"s, no shed is re5uired.
Oil barrels should never be placed on pervious floor, &ithout ade5uate secondary
containment, lid 0cap$ and shed.
Suitable secondary containments are to be provided during transportation of oil
barrels.
/uring filling of oil ade5uate secondary containment is to be provided and use
hand pumps for filling.
Maintain the Primary Containers and secondary containment periodically to
prevent oil lea" through the body of the container.
Maintain pipes, valves, (oints etc periodically to prevent oil lea".
3nsure that concerned O9M personnel 0OPGC and Contractor$ of respective
Team are trained to operate and maintain e5uipments, and are a&are of the
response procedures to address oil lea"s and spillages.
SOP Oil Spill Management Procedure 3
3nsure that this standard procedure is follo&ed in respective Team for effective
spill prevention and mitigation.
3nsure daily inspections of all e5uipment7containers containing oils and
document such inspections and ensure that they are properly maintained.
Provide guidance and re5uired resources to the concerned contractors for
effective implementation of oil spill management procedure at the site.
N!.' 5 3nsure that Material Safety /ata Sheet 0MS/S$ of oil is available &ith each
Team handling oil and also it is displayed at the oil storage area.

.eceiving advanced e4treme &eather condition &arnings, plant shut do&n
procedures are to be initiated, including emptying the ma(or Oil Storage Tan"s before
occurrence of such e4treme &eather conditions.
7. HANDLING OF MAJOR OIL SPILL/ LEAK )EMERGENCY SITUATION0
The follo&ing course of action should be underta"en &here a ma(or spill to occur
3vacuate the facility of all personnel not directly involved in controlling and
counteracting the spillage.
Stop the source of the spill if possible.
=se gravel filled bags to contain the spillage.
Coat the spilled material &ith foam to reduce the potential of the diesel oil
catching fire.
Collect the spilled material using a pump fitted &ith a strainer or suction valve.
Store the spilled material in )11 litre drums or other oil containers and send them
to the oil storage shed for subse5uent disposal to authorised recyclers.
