Potential incident analysis format example

• Provide medical attention to affected individuals
• Close roadways and provide detours around the incident site
• Establish a safety perimeter
• Evacuate or shelter-in-place the public, as needed
• Provide water fog for vapour knockdown, as needed

• Ensure public safety by reducing or eliminating any hazards based on the training and the personal protection equipment (PPE) available to them
• Phone the ERAP telephone number, if able, to provide an ERAP incident report to Chem Industries Inc.
• Provide the shipping document to the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ)/Incident Commander (IC)
• Provide information on the cause of the incident
• Provide information on the means of containment to the AHJ/IC and/or ERAP team leaders
• Aid in the damage assessment of the means of containment, if trained to do so

If they received the ERAP incident report in lieu of the ERAP technical advisor, then:

• Confirm incident details with the carrier and fill out an incident assessment form^{Footnote *}
• File an ERAP implementation report with the Canadian Transport Emergency Centre (CANUTEC) when implementing the ERAP to either Tier 1 or Tier 2 and contact ERAP team leaders, ERAP response teams and/or mutual aid partner, if needed
• Maintain contact with the incident site through the AHJ/IC, carrier, ERAP technical advisors or ERAP team leaders
• Source alternate compatible and compliant means of containment if a transfer is needed and ensure the driver is trained to transport dangerous goods.
• Source heavy equipment to upright the means of containment when safe to do so

• After receiving the ERAP incident report from the carrier
  • fill out the incident assessment form*
  • make an ERAP implementation report with CANUTEC when implementing the ERAP to either Tier 1 or Tier 2, and
  • contact ERAP team leaders, ERAP response teams and/or mutual aid partner, if needed
• Maintain contact with the incident site through the AHJ/IC, carrier or ERAP team leaders
• Provide the incident assessment form*, safety data sheet, Emergency Response Guidebook guide 157 and other relevant technical information for the dangerous goods to the AHJ/IC and/or ERAP team leaders
• Provide signs and symptoms of exposure to the AHJ/IC and/or ERAP team leaders
• Provide information on the means of containment to the AHJ/IC and/or ERAP team leaders
• Provide neutralization advice to the AHJ/IC and/or ERAP team leaders
• Provide decontamination advice to the AHJ/IC and/or ERAP team leaders

• Mobilize and deploy to the incident site if requested by the ERAP team leaders or senior management of Chem Industries Inc.
• Once present, provide advice on the dangerous good or means of containment, as needed

• Provide emergency response advice to the AHJ/IC and/or ERAP technical advisor, as needed
• Maintain contact with the incident site through the AHJ/IC, carrier or ERAP technical advisors

Tier 2 only

• Mobilize and deploy to the incident site if requested by the ERAP technical advisor or senior management of Chem Industries Inc.
• Ensure all necessary equipment is deployed to the incident site
• Wear appropriate PPE as dictated by monitoring results and/or the site safety plan
• Monitor for presence of dangerous good using pH paper and/or hydrochloric acid gas detection tubes
• Perform a site assessment (may be done with appropriately qualified and trained responders)
• Perform damage assessment (may be done with appropriately qualified and trained personnel)
• Develop site safety plan and do the safety briefing for all those involved in each operational period
• Develop the incident action plan for the upcoming operational period for the AHJ/IC
• Ensure standard operating procedures are followed for the response actions performed by the ERAP response team
• Ensure that decontamination is set up prior to entry to the hot zone.
• Perform necessary response actions with ERAP response team, if needed
• Ensure any transferred or repackaged dangerous goods are safe for transport and are compliant
• Ensure any waste generated during the response is packaged properly and taken to an appropriate facility
• Work with the carrier, AHJ/IC, and other trained persons (e.g. heavy tow truck operators) to ensure public safety during the reorientation of the means of containment

• Wear appropriate PPE as dictated by monitoring results and/or the site safety plan
• Monitor for presence of dangerous good using pH paper and/or hydrochloric acid gas detection tubes
• Confinement – defensive measure (i.e., damming, diking, etc.) to ensure that if a release happens, it or any runoff from vapour knockdown is confined to a defined and manageable area away from the public, waterways, sewers and other exposures
• Containment – if the means of containment has been breached, tighten or repair valves. Plugging and/or patching may be done to reduce or eliminate the release
• Transfer the product – truck to truck transfer done following the standard operating procedure (including grounding and bonding)
• Neutralize the product or its residues, if necessary
• Decontaminate personnel and equipment

• Provide emergency response advice to the AHJ/IC and/or ERAP technical advisor, as needed

• Mobilize and deploy resources to the incident site, if requested by Chem Industries Inc.
• Work with the ERAP team leaders and ERAP response team to perform any defensive or offensive response actions listed above, as needed
