29、 151Developing a Highway Emergency Response Planfor Incidents Involving Hazardous Materials0 IntroductionResponsible business practice suggests that companiesdevelop programs to respond effectively to transportationaccidents involving their hazardous materials. Companieshave responsibilities that tr
30、anscend business consider-ations and public relations: they have social responsibili-ties to react promptly and properly to emergencies inwhich they are involved. The ability to properly respond totransportation incidents should be the concern of thosewho have title to the materials; those who have
31、custody ofthem; and those who have responsibility for them throughcontractual agreements, other kinds of agreements, orsome other association with them. In keeping with thoseresponsibilities, API has adopted these recommendedguidelines for developing an emergency response plan fortransportation emer
32、gencies primarily involving liquidhydrocarbons, such as gasoline, crude oil, and other haz-ardous materials transported in MC 306/DOT 406 and MC307/DOT 407 aluminum cargo tanks.Because of increasing demands for the many differentproducts that the petroleum industry manufactures andtransports, some g
33、overnment emergency response agen-cies may have difficulty maintaining the technical exper-tise needed to deal safely and effectively withtransportation incidents involving hazardous materials.Company emergency response plans based on these guide-lines assure that technical expertise will be availab
34、le tomitigate incidents that occur.A transportation emergency exists when sufficient quan-tities of hazardous materials escape or threaten to escapefrom their transportation containers to endanger people,the environment, or property. Emergency response plansshould be devised for all hazardous raw ma
35、terials, inter-mediate and finished products, and waste materials that aretransported (see Section 4.3).An Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA) standard (29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)Part 1910.120) requires industry employers whoseemployees might respond to an emergency (even j
36、ust asadvisors) to have a plan in place. The Environmental Pro-tection Agency (EPA) adopted the same standard for pub-lic sector employers in 40 CFRPart 311. A Department ofTransportation standard (49 CFR130) requires that per-sons transporting petroleum oils must have a plan in placethat prescribes
37、 prevention, containment, and response tooff-site transportation incidents.Once a public agency arrives on the scene of a hazard-ous materials emergency, that agency normally takes thelead in managing the incident. In some states, the lawdetermines who takes charge of an incident. In any case,decisi
38、ons made during the first 30 minutes of an incidentset the stage for subsequent operations. These decisionsmay determine whether damage to life, property, and theenvironment will be done in addition to that which willoccur strictly as a result of the initial incident. The degreeand quality of an aff
39、ected companys participation in thisdecision-making process generally depends on whether ithas an emergency response plan in place.As response operations progress, state, federal, industry,and contractor personnel may become involved in additionto the original responders. The extent of their involve
40、mentwill depend on decisions made within the critical first 30minutes and the capability of the original responders. Dur-ing the development and implementation of an emergencyresponse plan, emergency response personnel from localfire and police departments, and other appropriate govern-ment entities
41、 should be consulted. These civil agenciesmust be made aware of local industry response plans sothat efforts to control an incident can be properly coordi-nated and confusion about the chain of command can beavoided.For some types of hazardous materials incidents, publicsafety agencies may not be ab
42、le to train personnel inappropriate response techniques. To help fill this gap inknowledge, industry should keep public safety agenciesinformed of industrys capabilities and should offer to sup-plement the training of local fire department and otheremergency response agency personnel in the safe han
43、dlingof their products.1 ScopeThis recommended practice outlines and recommendsminimum guidelines for developing an emergencyresponse plan for incidents involving hazardous liquidhydrocarbons, such as gasoline and crude oil, and otherhazardous materials transported in MC 306/DOT 406 andMC 307/DOT 40
44、7 aluminum cargo tanks and for coordi-nating and cooperating with local, state, and federalofficials. These guidelines should be modified to reflectlocal, state, and federal regulations and individual com-pany legal considerations and response capabilities. Theappendixes to this recommended practice
45、 outline a high-way emergency response plan (Appendix A) and suggest aprocedure for removing liquid hydrocarbons from over-turned cargo tanks and righting the tank vehicles(Appendix B).2 API RECOMMENDEDPRACTICE11122 Conformance to APIs Environmental Mission and Guiding PrinciplesThis recommended pra
46、ctice has been reviewed to determineif it conforms to APIs Environmental Mission and GuidingPrinciples1. It has been determined that because this recom-mended practice directly addresses safety and environmentalissues, it does conform to APIs Environmental Mission andGuiding Principles. The followin
47、g guiding principles havebeen determined to be especially relevant to this recommendedpractice: To recognize and to respond to community concernsabout our raw materials, products and operations. To operate our plants and facilities and handle our rawmaterials and products in a manner that protects t
48、heenvironment, and the safety and health of our employ-ees and the public. To make safety, health, and environmental consider-ations a priority in our planning and our developmentof new products and processes. To promptly advise appropriate officials, employees,customers, and the public of informati
49、on on significantindustry-related safety, health and environmental haz-ards, and to recommend protective measures. To counsel customers, transporters and others in thesafe use, transportation, and disposal of our raw materi-als, products, and waste materials. To work with others to resolve problems created byhandling and disposal of hazardous substances fromour operations. To participate with government and others in creatingresponsible laws, regulations, and standards to safe-guard the community, workplace, and environment.3 References3.1 REFERENCED PUBLICATIONSThe most rec
