4.0 OR�AN��AT�ON AND PREPAREDNESS STRUCTURE

4.1 Emergency Response an� Prepare�ness Philosophy The Project will perform risk assessments based on the phase of the Project and the 90-day Look Ahead construction activities. Details can be found in WS1-0000-HES-PCD-BEC-000-00017-000, Hazard Identification and Control. This risk-based phase and activities approach will be used for emergency response planning, preparedness, and response. This will include emergency response for illness, injury, environmental impact and loss.

Risk and hazards will be identified and managed during the following:

FEED phase and detailed design phase through hazard analyses and the application of Safety-in-Design, Human Factors Engineering, design for safe construction, and emergency event identification workshops. Specific environmental, safety, and health (ES&H) requirements will be in the subcontract bid packages, purchase orders, and technical service agreements to communicate the Project requirements

Construction while the plant is under the Operational Control of Contractor, using qualitative risk assessments, effective plans and procedures, strong safety leadership, and Subcontractor management.

4.1.1 Project �uil�ingsThe Project personnel will shelter-in-place in the event of a Cyclone when the shelter-designated buildings are ready for occupancy. The shelter-in-place guidelines have been developed based on WA requirements and guidelines to primarily address safety of personnel in the selected buildings used for mass shelter. The dining complex training center, medical facility, and recreational buildings are the designated mass-shelter facilities. The following factors were considered:

Shelter Location – Factors affecting the location of the buildings used for mass shelter include storm-tide heights, river- or creek-flood levels, access, and location of existing significant hazards Structure an� �mportance Level – Loads that the building structure and external fabric including windows and doors are to resist �uman �actors – Factors for life safety, comfort, space, lighting, communication, emergency power, waterproofing, and weatherproofing Li�e-Sa�ety Criteria – Factors for fire detection, protection, and prevention, emergency warning intercom system, and lighting

4.1.2 Project Speci�ic Action Plans An initial qualitative hazard risk assessment of the Onslow area was conducted and will be revalidated during the construction phase. The scope was to assess the health risk for working in the area and the medical and transport facilities in the region and make recommendations for medical infrastructure to support the Project. In addition, these recommendations provided the basis for the project specific emergency plans.





The following are the applicable key hazard findings and recommendations:

Natural Disaster – (storms, cyclones, and inclement weather) – An early warning system, a phased withdrawal to safe areas of non essential personnel, and availability of reinforced shelters for those remaining on-site are recommended.

�ehicle Acci�ents – Training in safe driving practices, means of communication, and carrying emergency supplies, such as medical and survival equipment are recommended.

� il�li�e – Venomous snakes are present. Protective clothing, First Aid training for envenomation, and access to medical care are recommended.

The following Project-specific emergency actions and instructions are included in the Plan:

Construction/Facility Related Fire Bush Fire Occupational/Non-Occupational Illness and Injury Hazardous Substances Incidents Vehicle Incidents Marine Incident (Nearshore and Off shore)Bomb Threat Rescue from Height/Confined Space Rescue Civil Disorder on Project sites Tsunami threat

4.1.3 Emergency Response Levels 4.1.3.1 Level � Emergency Response This Plan outlines the on-site emergency response actions to be taken by the IMT and the ERT in Appendices, 1 through 11. In most cases an emergency can be controlled using on-site resources such as the Medical facility. In a Level 1 Emergency, it is not anticipated that Company or External Resources will be required.

A Level � Emergency has limited impacts to personnel safety, the environment, the community, and property. A Level 1 emergency can be managed and executed by the ERT.

4.1.3.2 Level � an� � Emergency Response The escalation of a Level 1 event will result in Level 2 and/or 3 Emergencies. The escalation means that the increased level of severity may require additional support, for example, transporting injured personnel to the medical facility or an off-site hospital. It also includes mobilizing on-site and/or off-site additional resources to help bring an emergency under control. The Contractor will be capable of first-responder capabilities to Level 2 or 3 emergencies, by utilizing the services and equipment available through the Subcontractor Medical Services subcontract and the ERT. Other examples of the need for external support would be a large fire beyond the capability of the Contractor and/or multiple-vehicle incident on or near the site. In this situation, the Contractor will notify Company, Fire & Emergency Services Authority, and off-site Project Management.





A. Level � Emergency Response

A Level � Emergency has broader impacts on personnel safety, the environment, the community, and property, which may require the shutdown or work stoppage of all or a portion of the site, result in mustering, sheltering, medical , property recovery, local community impact or evacuation response.

The IMT will form to manage and execute the overall response effort to a Level 2 emergency. The size of the IMT will vary depending on the scope and demands of the emergency event. The Incident Controller is responsible to call out sufficient IMT personnel for the situation

�. Level � Emergency Response

A Level 3 Emergency has significant or major impacts on personnel safety, the environment, the community, and/or property, which may include a major fire, a large spill of hydrocarbons or hazardous materials, a gas release, or multiple injuries and fatalities resulting from incidents.

A Level 3 emergency is managed through the IMT but may require external qualified support.

4.2 Emergency Response an� Prepare�ness Planning �or Early � orks Early Work construction phase is defined as the activities to be performed at the Site to provide access roads, water, and beds. Each applicable Subcontractor will be responsible for preparing an Early Works site-specific emergency preparedness procedure for Contractor review and acceptance, complying with this Plan. The Subcontractor plans will include as a minimum the following:
