Protection measures implemented at the accident site
| Number | Name of the measure | Content of the measure |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Use of personal protective equipment | Intervention personnel must be equipped with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) based on the nature of the substance involved, including protective clothing, boots, gloves, and respirators. |
| 2. | Damage site investigation and gas concentration measurement | The hazardous area must be continuously monitored, using instruments to detect explosion risk and toxic exposure levels. |
| 3. | Identification of the released substance | Once the physical and chemical properties of the substance are identified, the selected protective equipment - particularly respiratory protection - must be adjusted accordingly. |
| 4. | Suspension of work | All production activities in the affected area must be immediately halted. |
| 5. | Ordering plant shutdown and evacuation | Based on the severity of the incident, the plant may be partially or fully shut down and the employee evacuation must be ordered, typically initiated by an alarm or siren system. |
| 6. | Carrying out the evacuation | Begin the safe evacuation of employees to the designated assembly point and restrict traffic in and around the hazardous area. |
| 7. | Rescue of injured people and first aid | Injured employees must be rescued and treated, and emergency medical services must be notified if necessary. |
| 8. | De-energizing and eliminating ignition sources | Power to the affected area must be disconnected and potential ignition sources eliminated, especially in cases involving flammable or explosive substances. |
| 9. | Preventing further release of the dangerous substance (implementing exclusions) | To prevent further release of the dangerous substance, the containment actions must be taken, such as closing valves, disconnecting pipes or stopping pumps. These actions can be manual or automatic, and their goal is to stop the leak, and shut down the technological system. |
| 10. | Localizing and removing the spilled substance | Depending on the state of dangerous substance, different methods can be applied to prevent the spread of the dangerous substance:
|
| 11. | Chemical neutralization | In the case of an acidic substance spills, neutralization of the area with calcium hydroxide is used. In the case of an alkaline dangerous substance, the use of a mild acidic neutralizing agent is used, such as acetic acid or citric acid. |
| 12. | Containment, if pumping is not possible | Cover the spilled-out substance with absorbent material, then collect it in a closed barrel for hazardous waste treatment. |
| 13. | Waste management and records | Documented collection of the generated hazardous waste (absorbent material, contaminated equipment) and handover to a licensed waste management specialist. |
| 14. | Use of external assistance | If the accident cannot be stopped, or if there is a significant risk of life or material damage, the fire department units must be alerted immediately. |
| 15. | Documentation and subsequent evaluation | All intervention steps must be documented. An evaluation report must be prepared and the emergency plan must be modified. |
