Section 1.5 Major Incident Effect on Infrastructure Local infrastructure will not be affected by a major incident unless there is release of fire generated toxic smoke. The Fire Brigade will make the decision as to the extent to which local infrastructure has been impacted. In the event of fire generated toxic smoke, the following infrastructure may be affected: Neighboring access roads and paths being; - Bradman Street. The nearest residential premises is located approximately 150 meters away as the crow flies. 6
Section 1.6 Emergency Planning Assumptions The following Emergency Plan assumptions have been made: The only likely incident to result in off-site effect is a fire. During operating hours, staff will manage the incident until Emergency Services arrive. Outside operating hours, the state manager and state operations manager will be contactable and in attendance to provide information and assistance to Emergency Services. Managers will be on site at the time of an emergency. In the event one or more identified personnel are off-site, the chain of command will move up from the position and responsibility below. Local Fire Brigade will arrive on site approximately 10 minutes after notification. DGL personnel are trained in Emergency Procedures with the assumption that the Fire Brigade will require assessment timeframe prior to commencing combating measures. Procedures identified in Section 5 continue until otherwise directed by Fire Brigade. Any chemical release and firewater will be initially contained by the use of Spill equipment where possible. Fire Brigade to control larger releases. MSDS will be available and accessible for all chemicals stored on the premises. One Assembly Point is deemed suitable due to: - Multiple exit points available from the warehouse and Administration Office. - Identifying one Assembly Point maximizes the potential for people to attend the correct point.

Section 1.9 Off-Site Effects Summary HAZARD EVENT Minor leaks from ruptured drums or packages CASUAL EVENT Careless handling or defective packaging not noticed on inwards goods or daily checks. OFF-SITE EFFECTS CONSEQUENCES Insufficient material to generate concentration above TLV or Exposure Standard beyond immediate surroundings. Nil effect off-site Major leaks from ruptured drums or packages Careless forklift operations, handling, storage methods or defective packaging not identified by goods inwards or daily checks Significant release may generate concentration above exposure standard up to 20 meters from scene. If in store rapidly removed by ventilation system and diluted. Nil effect off-site. Spread of pool limited bunding- no threat to water or soil Minor fire Major fire Leakage of flammable product and introduction of ignition source. Incompatible chemicals allowed in contact i.e. organic materials allowed in contact with Class 5.1 substances. Industrial waste ignited by careless actions. (also assumes wastes have been allowed to build up to a fire hazard proportion). Brach of safety during maintenance or other work. Unlawful entry & possible arson Undetected minor fire, delay in raising alarm, failure of staff or security to act according to training procedures. Failure of QFRA to respond (not considered even a remote possibility due to proximity to, and knowledge, of the site) Fire damage limited to store area. Minor stock and property damage. Staff training, housekeeping, building construction and fire security, including link to emergency services combine to minimize effects. Nil off-site effect. No potential for soil or water contamination due to bunding arrangements Release of toxic fumes, vapour and smoke into atmosphere. Substantial structural damage, contained by design of construction even if part of building destroyed. Location (down embankment) protects off-site areas from heat radiation effect. Distance to residential areas protects residents from toxic effects. Possible some coughing and sore throats may well result. (Weather dependant*) possible threat to soil and water prevented by site bunding and down steam damming. * High surface winds or heavy rain tend to flatten plume making ground effect more noticeable. Wind direction is critical as only winds from the southwestern sector will direct plume towards residential area. Prevailing wind south-eastern sector swinging to north-western sector at night 9
