1. INTRODUCTION
The adoption of new technologies has worked marvels for industry, while consumer
has been benefited from this commercial boom; the nation has also been able to set
a brisk pace of industrial growth. This augurs well for everyone. However, there is a
need to be cautious in dealing with these technological changes. If not handled
properly, they can create several environmental problems: contamination of water
resources, coal and ash dust, mist, particulate etc. Atmospheric changes as well as
loss of precious plant and animal life. These hazards also endanger human life.
Chemicals which are hazardous like Acids, Liquid Ammonia, HCL, H2SO4& Alum
materials which are inflammable like Lubricating and Servo Oil, Rice Husk, Light
Diesel Oil are being more widely used in distillery plants. Improper handling of
these materials, may lead to uncontrollable hazards, costly accidents and in rare
cases may lead to disasters.
In the wake of such disasters, legislation has been enacted to tighten safety norms.
But there is still scope for system failures. In order to generate emergency plan,
each part / section of the plant of the complete plant as a whole need to be studied
and analyzed critically from safety point of view. To control effectively the rise of
such situations, it is imperative to plan “ON –SITE EMERGENCY PLAN”.
Awareness of total plant operations and strict adherence to environmental safety

standards is an integral part of our operations. An environmental protection
department has been established and working efficiently to monitor all
environmental related activities.
In managing an emergency (fire, explosion and hazardous release) one has to

consider whether the life and health of the employees, contract staff & workers
working in the plant are endangered as also is there any damage to property.This
manual will generate awareness among all the employees, contract staff & workers,
working in plant premises, to adhere to environmental safety standards and also
provide information for managing any emergency effectively.
After the incident of Bhopal gas disaster and supreme court directions in case
of M/S. Sriram Foods and Fertilizers, the Govt. of India has made some important
amendments to the Factories Act 1948 in the year 1987 with incorporation of
special provisions relating to hazardous process and a new chapter i.e. Chapter IVA
under which the provisions like sections 41A, 41B, 41C, 41D, 41E, 41G & 41H

321
covering all hazardous process industries are added. Under the provision of Section
41-B (4) every occupier shall with the approval of the Chief Inspector of Factories
draw up an On-site Emergency Plan and detailed disaster control measures for his
factory and make known to the workers employed therein and to the general public
living in the vicinity of the factory the safety measures required to be taken in the
event of an accident taking place. This is the statutory provision laid down in the act
for preparation of On-site Emergency Plan to control disaster in the factories. Any
accidents may cause emergency and it may lead to disaster, which may cause heavy
damage to plant, property, harm to person and create adverse affects on production.
The manufacturing process carried out in M/s Malbros International Pvt. Ltd.,
Village-Mansoorwal, Tehsil-Zira, Faridkot Road, District-Ferozepur, Punjab,
India comes under the category of Hazardous Process at Item Number 12 as
“Fermentation Industries (Distilleries and Breweries)” in The First Schedule made
under the Section 2 (cb) of the Factories Act, 1948. The need of the onsite
emergency plan was felt due to the statutory requirement as applicable to the
hazardous process under different legislations by State as well Central
Governments. This Onsite Emergency plan is made to comply with the Section 41-
B(4) of the Factories Act, 1948 as applicable to this plant.
Although the similar provisions regarding onsite emergency plan also exists under
Rule 13 of the Punjab Control of industrial Major Accident Hazards Rules, 1993
and Rule 13 of Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rules,
1989 but these rules are only applicable to MAH units which derive this designation
if they store or process some threshold quantities of different chemicals as specified
in schedules annexed to PCIMAH Rules-1993 & MSIHC Rules-1989.
Also it is recommended to participate actively and become a active member of

different meetings or mock drills conducted by district and local crisis groups
constituted under Emergency Planning, Preparedness & Response for Chemical
Accidents Rules-1996. Along with this regular interaction with other group
members, departments, governmental agencies and in particular office of
Directorate of Factories which will give exemplary exposure in handling different
types of emergencies.

3. GENERAL INFORMATION OF PLANT
The Malbros International Pvt. Ltd.layout is shown in the figure below.
Incorporated in 2007, Malbros International Pvt. Ltd. is a leading alcoholic

beverage company, which accounts for the manufacture of a special range of
branded Whiskey, Country Liquor, Rum, Vodka and Gin. MIL Distillery is one of
the most efficiently-run distilleries in India manufacturing high grade Extra Neutral
Spirit (ENA) from Grain with a production capacity of 1.2 Million Litres per annum
of Grain Neutral Spirit. It is a state-of-the-art grain based distillery at „Zira‟ district
Ferozepur, Punjab. It is an integrated plant having facilities for producing Rectified
Spirit ENA 90000 and Bottled Liquor.
The Unit is self-sufficient in meeting the fuel and power requirement by way of
backward integration of utilizing its effluent for generating the bio-gas which, in
turn, is utilized for generating the steam and power for its captive requirement.MIL
Distillery also manufactures various brands of IMFL and Country Liquor.
In dry milling, the entire starchy grain is first ground into flour, referred to in the
industry as “meal,” and processed without separating out the various component
parts of the grain. The meal is slurried with water to form a “mash.” Enzymes are

326
added to the mash to convert the starch to dextrose, a simple sugar. Ammonia is
added for pH control and as a nutrient to the yeast.
The mash is processed in a high-temperature cooker to reduce bacteria levels ahead

of fermentation. The mash is cooled and transferred to fermenters where yeast is
added and the conversion of sugar to ethanol and carbon dioxide (CO2) begins.
The fermentation process generally takes about 40–50 hours. During this part of the
process, the mash is agitated and kept cool to facilitate the activity of the yeast.
After fermentation, the resulting “beer” is transferred to distillation columns where
the ethanol is separated from the remaining “stillage.” The ethanol is concentrated
to 190 proof using conventional distillation and then is dehydrated to approximately
200 proof in a molecular sieve system.
The stillage is sent through a centrifuge that separates the coarse grain from the
solubles. The solubles are then concentrated to about 30 percent solids by
evaporation, resulting in Condensed Distillers Solubles (CDS) or “syrup.” The
coarse grain and the syrup are then dried together to produce Dried Distillers Grains
with Solubles (DDGS), a high quality, nutritious livestock feed. The CO2 released
during fermentation is captured and sold for use in carbonating soft drinks and
beverages and manufacturing dry ice.

4. TECHNICAL FEATURES OF PLANT
1. Grain Storage:
Grains are procured from various sources, such as FCI Storage godowns through
agencies and are unloaded into large Storage Silos after Pre-Cleaning. Storage Silos
are specially designed to keep the Grains in good condition for longer durations and
also avoid its deterioration and theft, etc. It is being proposed to have 30 – 45 days
of Grain Storage facility in the Distillery.
2. Grain Cleaning, Milling and Flour Handling:

The grain is lifted in bucket elevators, screened followed by removal of stones and
iron matter. Cleaned Grains are then milled using dry milling process in Hammer
Mills. The flour is fed through the bucket elevator and conveyed to the Batch
Tipping Machine through a Screw Conveyor. The flour addition is metered through
the Batch Tipping Machine with load cell arrangement, before transferring the flour
to the Slurry Tank through another Screw Conveyor (pre-masher) for slurry
preparation process. It is being proposed to have 4 x 16 TPH as milling
paraphernalia for this Distillery.
3. Slurry Preparation & Liquefaction:

Grain flour and process water is fed at controlled rate to Initial Liquefaction tank.
Mixed slurry is taken to the Initial Liquefaction Tank where additional quantity of
water is added as per requirement. Viscosity reduction Enzyme and stabilizing
chemicals and a portion of liquefying enzyme are also added at this stage. This
slurry is then “cooked” in the jet cooker.
The slurry is continuously pumped to a steam jet cooker where high-pressure steam
rapidly raises the slurry temperature. The mixture of slurry and steam is then passed
through the Retention Vessel. The retention vessel has sufficient capacity to provide
the desired retention time at a given flow rate. The cooked mash is discharged to a
Flash Tank. The cooking process, accomplished in the above manner, converts the
slurry into a hydrated, sterilized suspension and is therefore susceptible to enzyme
attack for liquefaction. The gelatinized mash from the Flash Tank is liquefied in the
Final Liquefaction Tank where liquefying enzyme (alpha-amylase) is added. The
liquefied mash is cooled in Mash Cooler and transferred to Saccharification cum
fermentation section. This process initiates the formation of sugar. The gelatinized
mash from the Flash Tank is liquefied in the Final Liquefaction Tank where
liquefying enzyme (alpha-amylase) is added. The liquefied mash is cooled in Mash
Cooler and transferred to Saccharification cum Fermentation section.

329
4. Hi-ferm-Nm Saccharification and Instantaneous Fermentation:

Yeast Activation:
Yeast seed material is prepared in water-cooled Yeast Activation Vessel
by inoculating sterilized mash with Active Dry Yeast. Optimum temperature is
maintained by cooling water. The contents of the Yeast Activation Vessel are then
transferred to Fermenter.
5. Saccharification & Instantaneous Fermentation:

The Liquefied starch slurry comprising Dextrins is partly taken for Yeast
development in Yeast Activation vessel and majorly transferred into the Fermenter.
Amyloglucozydase and other nutrient Enzymes are first added to Saccharify
the Starch Slurry causing formation of Sugars. Immediately, the Active Yeast is
introduced in the system for simultaneous Fermentation. The process of
fermentation is to convert the fermentable substrate into alcohol. To prepare the
mash for fermentation, it may have to be diluted with water. The pH of the mash is
adjusted by the addition of acid. Yeast is available in sufficient quantity to initiate
fermentation rapidly and complete it within the cycle time. At the start of the cycle,
the fermenter is charged with mash and contents of the Yeast Activation Vessel.
Significant heat release takes place during fermentation. This is removed by
passing cooling water through the Fermenter PHE‟s to maintain an optimum
temperature. The recirculating pumps also serve to empty the fermenters into Beer
Well. After the fermenters are emptied, they are cleaned with water and
caustic solutions and sterilized for the next batch. The carbon dioxide evolved
during the process is vented to atmosphere after recovery of alcohol in a scrubber.
6. Ethanol Distillation:
Fermented wash from wash holding tank T-01 is pumped by wash feed pump P-01
to the top of degassing column (C-2) after preheating the same in beer heater E-02
and spent wash heat exchanger E-01. The vapors along with non-condensable gases
from the top of degassing column (C-02) are rectified in Heads column (C-03), to
expel the high volatiles, technically known as heads. Bottom liquid from the
degasser flows into analyzer column (C-01) where alcohol is stripped from the
liquid. The liquid from bottom of analyzer column (C-01) is completely stripped of
alcohol and is pumped out by thick slop discharge pump P-02 through heat
exchanger E-01 where it preheats the fermented wash before it enters degassing
column. The slop from the analyser column will be feed in to decanter. The dilute
alcohol vapors from near the top of analyzer column (C-01) are condensed first in

330
beer heater (E-02) while exchanging heat with wash feed and then in analyzer
condenser (E-03). Degasser and analyzer operate under vacuum. The condensate
from E-02 and E-03 is collected in Rectifier Feed Tank V-02. The vapors for
stripping alcohol are generated from analyzer column bottom liquid in the analyzer
column re-boiler (E-04) by using the rectified column top vapors, as discussed
subsequently. Vapors from the top of heads column (C-03) are condensed in heads
column condenser (E-06) and then in head column vent condenser (E-07). Part of
the condensate is returned to column C-03 as reflux while a small portion is taken
out as an impure spirit cut. Liquid from bottom of C-03 is also taken into Rectified
feed tank V-02.Dilute alcohol water mixture from rectifier feed tank (V-02) are
pumped by rectifier feed pump (P-04) through rectifier feed pre-heater E-11 in
to rectifying column (C-04). Rectifier and its associated equipment work under
pressure so that these vapors can supply the necessary heat for generating the
vapors.
The condensate from E-04 is then pumped as Reflux to rectifying column C-04.
Rich alcohol vapors at a concentration of 95.5% v/v from top of rectifying column
(C-04) are condensed first in Analyzer (E-04) and then in Reflux Vent Condenser
(E-05). The liquid from E04 and E-05 are collected in Rectifier Reflux Tank (V-
01). Part of the liquid from E-05 may be drawn off as impure spirit. The impure
spirit cut will be maintained as little as possible to maintain aldehyde levels to meet
the required limits in Absolute Alcohol. Liquid from the reflux tank (V-01) is
pumped by Product Pump (P-03) partly as product and partly as reflux to the top of
the Rectifying Column (C-04). The necessary rectifying vapors to C-04 are
generated by boiling the C-04 bottom liquid in Rectifier Column Re- boiler E-08
using medium pressure steam. Some side streams are drawn from rectifier column
as light and heavy fractions of higher alcohols called fusel oils and cooled in fusel
oil coolers E-09 and E-10 and are mixed with water and allowed to separate out in
fuel oil separator F-01. All vents from E-03, E-07, V-02 and E-05 are connected to
Vent Gas Absorber (C-05) where the vent gases are scrubbed with water to recover
entrained alcohol. The scrubber water is used for washing the fuel oils in fuel oil
separator to recover alcohol from the fuel oil fractions. The absorber vent is
connected to vacuum pump (G-01) which is used to create vacuum in the analyzer
and degasser. Absolute alcohol is manufactured by dehydration of Rectified
Spirit. The process adopted here is based on Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA)
system using Molecular Sieves (3-A). The flow scheme is shown in above referred
flow diagram. Rectified spirit, after preheating by waste hot streams, is vaporized
and superheated in E-03 and E-04 by using medium pressure steam at 6 Kg/cm2g
pressure. Hot vapors at kg/cm² g pressure and 130° C temperature pass through
PSA column S-01A/S-01B where the water vapors are retained while water free

331
alcohol is released as vapors. The vapors are condensed in E-07 and E-08 and
collected as Absolute Alcohol. When the molecular sieve bed is saturated with
water the alcohol vapors are shifted to the other tower and the first tower is taken
for regeneration. Regeneration is done first by pressure releasing and creating
vacuum and then by elutriating with dehydrated alcohol vapors from the tower in
dehydration operation. The vapors are condensed in E-06 and E-05 and the vent
vapors are recovered through scrubber C-02. Vacuum can be created vacuum by P-
04. (Eductor may also be considered for this duty). Product is cooled in E-09 and
transferred to Absolute Alcohol receiving tank and then on to storage tank. This
process utilizes the following columns namely Analyser, Degassifier, Aldehyde,
Pre-Rectifier Column, P/R Stripper Column, Rectifier-cum Exhaust, Extractive
Distillation (ED) Column, Fusel Oil Concentration Column and Simmering
Columns. The Analyser, Degassifier, Aldehyde, Pre-Rectifier Columns are
operated under Vacuum whereas Simmering, Extractive Distillation, FOC Columns
are operated under Atmospheric condition. The Rectifier-cum-Exhaust Columns are
operated under Pressure.The energy requirement for Analyser Column & Pre-
rectifier is met by Rectifier Column top vapours. The Rectifier Column top vapours
are condensed in a thermo-siphon reboilers connected to a flash tank and then flash
vapours out of soft water feed are injected into Analyser Column.
The energy requirement of the Simmering Column is met by the top vapours of
Extractive Distillation Column while that of the FOC Column is through direct
steam. In the distillation scheme offered, all Columns are designed for all the
products.
7. Alcohol Daily Receivers & Bulk Storage:

Alcohol is first taken to Daily receiver storage tanks, which is based on the State
Excise laws, storage for three days considering the weekly holidays of two days.
Thereafter, the alcohol is transferred to Bulk Storage Tanks after taking the daily
receiver Dip. This is transferred using flameproof pumps. Final dispatch of alcohol
is metered and again is carried out using special flameproof pumps. The Bulk Spirit
Storage is proposed to be set up for 30 days.

 Highly efficient operating pumps will be provided for pumping the required
fluid.The operation of the plant will be under vacuum. Vacuum is created
with the help of a waterring vacuum pump.
 The plant will have high level of automation to get consistent output at
required concentration.

333
 The system operates under vacuum. Water-ring vacuum pumps are used
to maintain a desired vacuum.
 Cooling water from cooling tower is used in the surface condensers for
condensing the vapours.
CONCLUSION
The thick syrup thus obtained is mixed with the Wet Cake obtained from Decanter
Centrifuges using specially designed Ribbon type mixer and this enriches the
protein content in the fibrous suspended solids separated earlier in Decanter. This
Protein & Fiber rich DWGS is directly sellable as Cattle/ Poultry Feed. However,
in order to increase the shelf life of such by-product, it is necessary to dry the
product,with minimum possible moisture content.

7. DIFFERENT PHASES OF DISASTER
In view of the hazards associated with Fermentation Industries (Distilleries and

Breweries) it is required to develop on-site emergency plan. Such plan will ensure
establishment of a system, which would make optimum use of available resources
for speedy containment of the disaster, protecting the health and safety of people,
nearby residences and workers as well as minimizing damage to property and
environment. There are other external agencies involved in the activities associated
with disaster situation e.g. Civil Administration, Fire services, Medical, Police,
Army, Voluntary organizations etc., which calls for an organized multi-disciplinary
approach to disaster management.
 Warning Phase
Many disasters are preceded by warning signals like liquid hydrocarbons leaks
developing into vapor cloud, weather forecast giving advance warning of
meteorological disasters, uncontrolled chemical reactions ending up in explosion
etc. Warning phase provides a cushion to put into action the remedial measures to
counter the disaster.
 Period of Impact
This is the period when the disaster strikes and very little can be done to minimize
its impact. This period can last for a few seconds (as in case of explosions) to many
days (as in case of tank fire, natural calamities etc.)
 Rescue Phase
The rescue phase starts immediately after the impact and continues until necessary
measures are taken to rush help to combat the situation and to evacuate people to
safer places.
 Relief Phase
During this phase relief measures are organized internally. External help can also be
summoned to augment the internal resources.
 Rehabilitation Phase
This is the final phase in disaster management, during this period, estimating the
damages, payments of compensation, rebuilding the damaged property etc. are
done. Inter disciplinary effort, total co-ordination within the organization is required
to be implemented and aid from statutory bodies, experts can be availed.

339
8. SCOPE , INTENT AND OBJECTIVE OF PLAN
SCOPE
The scope shall cover:
(i) the identification of emergencies;

(ii) the mitigation measures that attempt to reduce and eliminate the risk or
disaster;
(iii) the preparedness that to develop plans for actions when disaster or
emergencies occur;
(iv) the responses that mobilize the necessary emergency services including
responders (primary, secondary and tertiary) like fire service, police service,
medical service including ambulance, government as well as non-
governmental agencies;
(v) the post disaster recovery with aim to restore the affected area to its original
conditions;
INTENT
It is intended to apply this document –
(a) to develop an ONSITE EMERGENCY PLAN (OEP)that should be concise

and informative so that members of the emergency control organization should
be able to quickly refer to the action plan to determine important functions that
are being carried out;
(b) to manage an emergency and not to use OEP just as reference material for
training and shall be made applicable -
(i) to prevent casualties - both on-site and off-site;
(ii) to reduce damage to property, machinery, public and environment;
(iii)to develop a state of readiness for a prompt and orderly response to an
emergency and to establish a high order of preparedness (equipment,
personnel) commensurate with the risk;
(iv) to provide an incident management organogram with clear missions and lines
of authority (incident command system, field supervision, unified command);
(v) to ensure an orderly and timely decision-making and response process
(notification, standard operating procedures);
(vi) to maintain good public relations;

340
Note: No two locations shall be identical in respect of layout, surroundings,

products, storage quantities, meteorological data etc. Therefore, ONSITE
EMERGENCY PLAN (OEP) will be location specific as per the available
resources.
OBJECTIVE
Objective of the plan are to provided a system, capable of taking fast and effective
action in a emergency situation in order to :-
i. Safe guard the factory personnel inside & public outside the factory.
ii. Effect the rescue & treatment of causalities.
iii. Safe guard the property and environment.
iv. Bring the incident under control.
v. Treatment of casualties, Head count, and information and assisting relatives.
vi. Provide authorities information to the news media.
vii. Ensure rapid return to normal operation after emergency.
viii. Preserve relevant records and equipment‟s the subsequent inquiry.
ix. Developing factory personal to ensure its at no panic on such occasion of
safe, skilled, action will minimize the casualities, injuries and damages of
other nature.
x. To maintain & culminate good image in public & National interst.
Elimination will require prompt action by operations and works emergency

staff using, for example, fire–fighting equipment, water sprays etc.
Minimizing the effects may include rescue, first aid, evacuation, rehabilitation
and giving information promptly to people living nearby.

341
9. CLASSIFICATION & DESCRIPTION OF EMERGENCIES
The views of the possible hazards that can arise out of the daily operations in the
distillery plant, various measures are adopted to prevent the occurrence of a major
accident. This comprises of:
 Built in safety measures, alarms, trips and interlocks etc.
 Standard safe operating and maintenance procedures permit system etc.
 Training of all the involved staff in normal and emergency operating
procedures.
 Training of all employees in safety, fire fighting and first aid.
However, in spite of these precautions, it is required to foresee situation of major
accident and plan for taking timely action to minimize the effects of such incident
on the safety and health of persons working in the plant as well as those living
around the premises. Generally, Emergencies can be categorized into three broad
levels on the basis of seriousness and response requirements, namely: –
Level 1: This is an emergency or an incident which

a) can be effectively and safely managed, and contained within the site, location
or installation by the available resources;
b) Has no impact outside the site, location or installation.
Level 2: This is an emergency or an incident which –

a) cannot be effectively and safely managed or contained at the location or
installation by available resource and additional support is alerted or
required;
b) is having or has the potential to have an effect beyond the site, location or
installation and where external support of mutual aid partner may be
involved;
c) is likely to be danger to life, the environment or to industrialassets or
reputation.
Level 3: This is an emergency or an incident with off-site impact which could be

catastrophic and is likely to affect the population, property and environment inside
and outside the installation, and management and control is done by district

342
administration. Although the Level-III emergency falls under the purview of

District Authority but till they step in, it should be responsibility of the unit to
manage the emergency.
Level-I and Level-II shall normally be grouped as onsite emergency and Level-III
as off-site emergency according to the hazards/risks associated as follow:
Sr No Type of Applicable Causes of Emergency

Emergency Plan
Small Fire due to:
 Spilling from the flanges/Pipeline/

Hammer Blinds/Gate Valves
 Pinhole leakage from Pipelines
 Failure of gasket resulting in leakage
 Fire in Electric Panels, Oil Room and

alcohol storage
Onsite  Hazards in Waste treatment processes
1 Level – I Emergency
Plan  Minor Injuries & other risks in Cleaning
of barrels, which have held chemical
substances
 Exposure to fugitive dust, noise, and
other emissions
 Housekeeping practices requiring
contact with solid and liquid wastes
 Emission/spillage etc. from storage &
handling – without any fire

343
Major Fire due to:

 Spillages from tank truck due to over
flow while loading
 Spillages from storage tank during
receipt.
 Floating roof getting struck in the
tank. Tank containment failure.
 Leakage from pipeline due to damage
by external sources, sabotage,
Onsite pilferage
2 Level – II Emergency  Failures caused by corrosion defects,
Plan
 Failures caused by miscellaneous
factors such as pipe material defects,
natural hazards
 Failure of mechanical structure
 Failure of civil structure
 Deposition of toxic pollutants in
vegetation / other sinks and possible
sudden releases due to accidental
occurrences
3 Level – III Offsite  Burst of product Pipelines inside
(Disaster) Emergency
& outside premises.
Plan
 Failure of storage tanks.
 Pool Fires
 Vapour cloud explosion.
 Agitation / forced entry by external

344
group of people.
 Natural Perils – Earthquake, Flood,
Tsunami Sabotage, Bomb Explosion /
Threat.
 Exposure to pollutants released from
offsite/ storage/related activities
 Contamination due to accidental
releases or normal release in
combination with natural hazard
Further, Hazard analysis involves the identification and quantification of the

various hazards (unsafe condition) that exist in the plant. On the other hand, risk
analysis deals with the identification and quantification of the risk, the plant
equipment and Personnel are exposed to, due to accidents resulting from the
hazards present in the plant. Risk analysis involves the identification and
assessment of risks to the population exposed to hazards present. This requires an
assessment of failure probability, credible accident scenario, vulnerability of
population etc. Much of this information is difficult to get or generate
consequently, the risk analysis in present case is confined to maximum credible
accident studies and safety and risk aspect related to proposed Grain based
Distillery and power plant. Activities requiring assessment of risk due to
occurrence of most probable instances of hazard and accident are both onsite and
off-site.
Consequences of default or non-compliance

There shall be a system for ensuring compliance to the provision of these
regulations through developing a well-defined ONSITE EMERGENCY PLAN
(OEP) and conduction of mock drill and safety audits during the construction,
commissioning and operation phase, as well as on an on-going basis. There shall
also be a system of do‟s and don‟ts regarding safety, mock drills or real
emergencies for the visitors before entering an establishment. This should be
supported by written instruction sheet for the visitor and ensured that visitor is
accompanied by plant representative on forward visit and return gate.
1) The Board shall monitor the compliance of ONSITE EMERGENCY PLAN
(OEP), Technical Standards and Specifications including Safety Standards either

345
directly or indirectly by accredited third party through separate regulations on

third party conformity assessment.
2) In case of any deviation or shortfall, in achieving the recommended standards
the entities are liable to penal provisions under the provisions of the technical
standards, specifications including safety standards.
DIFFERENT EMERGENCY SCENARIOS- Onsite / Offsite Emergency
Emergency Scenarios Threats

Serious injuries / Fatality or illness
Medical Heart Attack/ Health related Issues
Fire & Explosion
Structural failure
Pipeline leak or rupture
Operational Sabotage
Flood
Cyclone
Natural Disasters Earthquake
Chemical /Lube Oil/ Hydrocarbon Product
spill
Environmental Volatile Vapour cloud release
Bomb threat
Sabotage
Security Kidnap and Ransom
 Natural Peril – Earthquake & Flooding

A flood possibility cannot be ruled out. Though floods are not likely to cause any
direct damage to distillery facilities or associated equipment, it may however cause
power/cable failures. Emergency shutdown system should be in place to tackle such
situations. Plant lies in Zone -3 of Earthquake zone.
 Sabotage / Bomb Threat

In case of any sabotage, the worst expected consequence would be a large release of
flammable hydrocarbons and/or fire involving property damage or harm to human.
Bomb threats could be real as well as hoax. However, all bomb threats should be
taken seriously. Details of the conversation should be immediately furnished to the
incident controller, who should in turn contact the local police as well as the district
collector. The employees and contractors shall be given training to prevent entry of

346
unauthorized persons / material and sharing information on actual incidents of

sabotage/ terrorist activity.
PROBABLE CAUSES OF EMERGENCIES
The common causes for the above events are tabulated below for reference and the
ONSITE EMERGENCY PLAN (OEP) should be prepared by the installation to
deal with the following emergencies.
Man made Natural Calamities Extraneous
 Heavy Leakage  Flood  Riots/Civil

 Fire  Earth Quake Disorder/ Mob
 Explosion  Cyclone Attack
 Failure of Critical  Outbreak of Disease  Terrorism

HAZARDS AND SAFETY MEASURES FOR STORAGE & HANDLING OF

ALCOHOL :
Physical Properties:
Chemical Formula : C2H5OH Molecular Weight : 456.
Sp. Gravity : 0.7147
Highly volatile, colourless, bitter in taste, surest smell, and highly inflammable
liquid. It is mixable in all proportions with water, eathers and other alcohol. Its flash
point is as low as 400 C and can catch fire at elevated temperature. It forms
explosive mixture with air, if mixed to the extent of 2.6% by weight. It has no
severe effect on skin or tissues if inhaled. It has fire hazard. Possible measures have
to be taken for arresting the same in time. Step has been taken to install sprinkler
system on and around the storage tanks.

347
The alcohol will be directly fed to the bottling unit mechanically and no manual
handling will be involved which will reduce the risk of spillage in the storage area.
Following precautionary measures would be taken for safety:
Handling And Storage:

 Keeping away from heat, sparks and open flame, care will be taken for
avoidance of spillage, skin and eye contact, well ventilation, Use of approved
respirator if air contamination is above acceptable level will be promoted.
 Keeping away from oxidizers, heat and flames.
 Avoidance of plastics, rubber and coatings in the storage area.
 Cool, dry, & ventilated storage and closed containers.
 Grounding of the container and transferring of equipment to eliminate static
electric sparks.
In case of any emergency following measures would be taken:

• FIRST AID MEASURES: For Skin contact, Eye contact, & Inhalation.
• FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES:
Use of extinguishing media surrounding the fire as water, dry chemicals (BC or
ABC powder), CO, Sand, dolomite, etc
Foam System for firefighting will be provided to control fire from the alcohol
storage tank. The foam thus produced will suppress fire by separating the fuel from
the air (oxygen), and hence avoiding the fire & explosion to occur in the tank. Foam
would blanket the fuel surface smothering the fire. The fuel will also be cooled by
the water content of the foam. The foam blanket suppresses the release of
flammable vapors that can mix with the air.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures; Keeping the fire upwind. Shutting down of all
possible sources of ignition, keeping of run-off water out of sewers and water
sources. Avoidance of water in straight hose stream which will scatter and spread
fire. Use of spray or fog nozzles will be promoted, cool containers will be exposed
to flames with water from the side until well after the fire is out.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: gases of Carbon Monoxide (CO) & Carbon
Dioxide (CO2).
•ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: For Spill Cleanup well Ventilation,

Shutting off or removal of all possible sources of ignition, absorbance of small
quantities with paper towels and evaporate in safe place like fume hood and burning
of these towels in a safe manner), Use of respiratory and/or liquid-contact
protection by the Clean-up personnel will be promoted.

348
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS:
Though, flame, proof fittings are provided Electrical injuries may occur any where.
It may be caused by direct current, alternative current or from lightening. The
security of the injuries by electric shock depends upon :
1. The amount of current flowing through the body.
2. The path of current has taken through body to the earth. A weaker current
passing through the chest is more dangerous than a relatively stronger current
passing through the lower limits.
3. Length of the victim is in contact.
4. Type of electric energy AC or DC.
5. Physical condition of victim.
Following signs and symptoms are found in electric shocks:

1. Sudden spasm
2. May be unable to release hands which holds the live point.
3. Burns
4. Cries aloud and falls on the grounds.
5. Several pain.
6. Unconsciousness.
7. Breathing impaired or stopped.
8. Burns leading to severe surgical shocks.
FIRST AID / COUTNER MEASURING
Any delay in first aid in electric shock is a delay for ever, hence the person Giving
the first aid must not get excited and must not endanger his life.
1. The current must be cut off or the plug should be pulled out.
2. He must not touch the victim or the live conductor.
3. If it is difficult to cut the current, the victim has to be separated by using a
dry coat rope, stick etc.
4. If there is the dry wooden chair or rubber sheet, he must stand on it and then
separate the victim.
5. If the cloths are smoldering, the spark should be extinguished.
6. Artificial respiration is to be started immediately. This may be done
whenever the victim is in unconsciousness while the pulses. The artificial
respiration should be continued till the doctor has arrived one may like to continue
for atleast 8 hours before obarconing the case as dead.

349
When the patient start swallowing, one may understand that spontaneous breathing
is being received. Artificial respiration should be continued till normal movement
of breathing is fully established as the respiration may falls again if left earlier.
7. A blanket should be out around the patient. The patient has be kept warm to
treat the shock. He may be given warm, sourest drink if he is conscious otherwise
not, as it may harm him.
8. Superficial bones of lightening strange may be covered with a septic
dressing. The deeper bums caused from contact with live conductors may be
covered with clean sheet and the patient taken to a hospital without any further
delay.
9. External cardiac massage may be given if the pulse is not felt or even
artificial respiration.
Power Cables
It is to be secured properly. It is to be protected from physical hazards. All junction
boxes should be protected and supported. Checking of ear things is necessary. All
junction box should be filled with compound.

350

organizations and mutual aid groups.
(e) Testing and mock drills for onsite emergency plan shall be carried once in three
months and for offsite emergency plan twelve months.
(f) For other installations, the mock drill shall be carried out once a year. However, for
locations having more than one industry member, the annual mock drill can be
carried out by one industry member in turn, thus ensuring one mock drill in every
year at the location.
(g) These mock drills will enable the unit/location to assess the capability of the
individual and performance as a group. The frequent discussions and drills will
help in eliminating the confusion and shortcomings, if any.
(h) Each Mock Drill should be recorded with observations and deficiencies to be
rectified within 24 hours.

xiv. Integration of the ONSITE EMERGENCY PLAN (OEP) with the

NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN (NDMP)
a. NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN (NDMP)
On 23 December 2005, the Government of India took a definite step towards NDMP
by enacting the NDMP ACT, 2005. The NDMP Act, 2005 is a Paradigm Shift from a
response and relief-centric approach to a proactive and comprehensive mindset
towards NDMP covering all aspects from prevention, mitigation, preparedness to
rehabilitation, reconstruction and recovery.
Similar to National Authority at the Centre, the State Government is to establish a

State Disaster Management Authority for the State. The State Authority is to be
headed by the Chief Minister of the State as the Chairperson. Every State
Government, in turn, is to establish a District Disaster Management Authority for
every district in the State with the District Collector as the Chairperson.
The Central Government is empowered to take further measures as it deems fit for
the purpose of disaster management like deployment of naval, military and air forces,
other armed forces of the Union or any other civilian personnel as may be required
for the purposes of this NDMPAct. Government of India is empowered to establish
institutions for research, training, and developmental programs in the field of disaster
management as per this Act.
The national vision is to build a safer and disaster resilient India by developing a
holistic, proactive, multi-disaster and technology driven strategy for NDMP. This
will be achieved through a culture of prevention, mitigation and preparedness to
reduce the impact of disasters on people. The entire process will centre stage the

378
community and will be provided momentum and sustenance through the collective
efforts of all government agencies supported by Non-Governmental Organizations
(NGOs).
National Disaster Management Structure showing the interactive linkage among

various agencies for synergized management of disaster is given below;
Note: Since PNGRB has been constituted by PNGRB Act, 2006, it should be
identified under Ministries / Departments of Govt. of India.
Abbreviations for NDMA:
