1. Introduction

This Incident and Emergency Response Plan (IERP) applies to any incident or emergency occurring on Albion Park Rail bypass (Stage 2 – Princes Motorway between Yallah and Oak Flats) (the Project), or involving Fulton Hogan’s personnel away from their regular place of work but while on company business.

This IERP shall be used in conjunction with the Workplace Health and Safety Management Plan (WHSMP), Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) and the relevant sub-plans, Traffic and Transport Management Sub-plan and Aviation Method of Working Plan. Together these documents outline the mandatory requirements for preparing for, responding to and recovering from any safety or environmental incidents or emergencies, including where assistance from local emergency services is required.

This IERP shall also be used in conjunction with Fulton Hogan’s Incident Investigation, Reporting and Notification procedure, which provides umbrella guidance on corporate requirements for notification, recording, investigation and reporting of all incidents, including significant safety and environmental incidents.

This IERP has also been developed to ensure compliance with obligations under the State Disaster Plan (DISPLAN) and will work with Illawarra Emergency Management District.

These DISPLANs provides framework for escalating emergency response to an incident, where the relevant Emergency Services Incident Controller (in consultation with the local Emergency Management Committee) has determined that resources of the local emergency service provider are insufficient to deal with the threat.

This IERP has also been developed to ensure compliance with the requirements of Roads and Maritime Environmental Incident Classification and Reporting Procedure for the reporting of environmental incidents as detailed in Section 4.3 of this Plan.

1.1. Purpose and scope

This IERP describes the strategy for preparing, responding to and recovering from any safety or environmental incident during construction of the Project. It also provides an integrated approach to management of both environmental and safety incidents where the assistance of external emergency response agencies is required.

This IERP does not address the broader company response to critical incidents or crises. Crises are defined as events or developments, real or perceived, which threaten the viability of the company and have the potential to threaten the safety or wellbeing of workers and others, the environment, or the integrity, performance, reputation of the company. Where such incidents stem from project-based incidents or emergencies, they shall be managed in accordance with this Plan, The Project Management Plan (PMP) and the requirements of the Crisis Management Procedure.

1.2. Project description

The project is known as the Albion Park Rail bypass (Stage 2 – Princes Motorway between Yallah and Oak Flats). The project would provide motorists with a more consistent travel experience between Sydney, Wollongong and the NSW South Coast. It would increase the capacity of the road network to cope with the additional traffic generated by current and future residential development in the area.

A detailed description of the Project is provided in the PMP.

3.2. Site layout plans

The Safety Manager shall ensure that the site layout plans developed for the Project, as listed in Appendix C, are reviewed for currency at regular intervals, including after relocating the site resources. These Site layout plans shall be displayed on each site notice board and include information regarding:

Location of emergency equipment and first aid facilities

Location of site evacuation muster points

Site boundaries, roadways, buildings

Location of storage areas for dangerous goods and chemicals

Entrances and exits

Alternative entrances and exits

Emergency access points.

3.3. Emergency muster area

The workplace manager shall nominate emergency muster areas for the workplace. Each emergency muster area shall be clearly identified on the site layout plan. The muster area must consider:

The location of the work area

The availability of a large enough open/protected area to house all persons evacuated

The topography of the site in relation to ease of travel to the muster area, and

The location of emergency equipment such as first aid kits, stretcher, fire-fighting equipment, spill-kits etc.

During extreme risk or total fire ban days, a Bush Fire Survival Plan shall be completed at the Prestart and consulted to each area’s work crew.

3.4. Emergency equipment

With reference to the WRA and the Incident and Emergency Response Equipment Guidelines, the EPC shall determine the emergency equipment requirements for the project. These requirements shall then be checked against the Emergency Equipment Inspection Checklist. The Safety Manager shall ensure a Register of Emergency Equipment is maintained and emergency equipment is available and appropriately located in relation to work areas on site; and inspected, tested and maintained as necessary.

3.5. Testing - desktop simulations/exercises/drills

The IERP, including all requirements of the PIRMP (refer Appendix D), shall be tested to ensure that the information is accurate and up to date, and that the IERP is capable of being implemented in a workable and effective manner.

Testing will be undertaken by way of:

Desktop simulations, and/or

Practical exercises/ drills.

For desktop simulations, the Environmental Manager (or delegate) shall organise relevant environmental desktop exercises to stimulate discussion of issues and review various aspects of the IERP.

Each desktop simulation shall be recorded. The record shall capture information, including (but not limited to) the:

Discussion items

Date of the desktop simulation

Name of the staff members who attended the desktop simulation

Attendance record.

For practical exercises/drills, the Safety Manager, in consultation with the EPC, shall ensure that a Drill Schedule is developed, maintained and adhered to at each site on the project. The Drill Schedule includes the dates on which the various hazards/risks identified in the IERP are scheduled to be tested, and when they have been tested.

The Safety Manager, in consultation with the EPC, shall arrange for practical exercises/ drills for both workers and subcontractors.

Following each practical exercise/ drill, the Safety Manager shall ensure that all persons observing and or evaluating drills complete an Incident and Emergency Response Drill Record. This Record captures a suite of information, including (but not limited to) the:

The scope of the drill

Date of the drill

Name of the staff members who conducted the drill

Name of the staff member who completed the drill record

Attendance record.

Desktop simulations or practical exercises/ drills shall be carried out:

Routinely at least once every 12 months

Within one (1) month of any pollution incident occurring. In the light of that incident, the intent is to assess whether the requirements of the PIRMP included in this IERP (refer Appendix D) are accurate and up to date, and the plan is still capable of being implemented in a workable and effective manner.

3.6. Incident (vehicle/public/environmental – non-work related)

Should there be an event requiring initial management by the project Emergency Response Team or interaction with the project or requiring initial support from the project, (e.g.- dozer or water cart) to assist with initial response to an incident, the relevant Emergency Flowcharts listed in table 3 and 4 and the Traffic Incident Response Plan will be utilised in the response and in conjunction with direction from any Emergency Service. (i.e.- police, SES, Fire etc).






4. Pollution incident response management

The purpose of this section is to address the requirements of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (POEO Act) and Protection of the Environment Operations (General) Regulation 2009 (POEO (G) Regulation) not otherwise specifically addressed in this IERP.

4.1. Pollution incident response management plan legislative requirements

The specific legislative requirements for a Pollution Incident Response Management Plan (PIRMP) are set out in Part 5.7A of the POEO Act and Part 3A of the POEO (G) Regulation. These requirements and a cross reference are included in Appendix D to ‘readily identify’ where each requirement is met in this IERP, or otherwise.

4.2. Description and likelihood of hazards

The main hazards and risks to human health and the environment associated with project activities have been identified by completing an Environmental Incidents and Emergencies Risk Assessment. The risk assessment was undertaken in a workshop involving key project personnel and included consideration of the following:

Consequence and likelihood of hazards and risks to human health and the environment occurring;

Proximity to sensitive environment, (i.e. ‘no-go’ zones, or sensitive receivers, such as schools, retirement homes and farms).

Based on the pre-control hazard risk rating, the following hazards to human health and the environment were identified as ‘High’ risk:

Severe weather events

Illegal waste dumping (by others)

Vehicle collision

Chemical spill in waterway (onsite and offsite impact)

Primer/ primer-binder washed off pavement

Unauthorised washout of concrete trucks and pumps

Chemical spill on land (onsite impact)

Of these, the following hazards relate directly to pollution incidents:

Illegal waste dumping (by others)

Chemical spill in waterway (onsite and offsite impact)

Primer/ primer-binder washed off pavement


Chemical spill on land (onsite impact)

The results of the risk assessment are included in Appendix E of this IERP.

Refer to Section 4.4 for the pre-emptive actions (controls) to be taken to minimise or prevent any risk of harm to human health or the environment.

4.3. Pollution incident notification protocol

All pollution incidents or any other environmental incidents must be reported in accordance with the Pollution (or other Environmental) Incident Notification Protocol included in Appendix F of this Plan. This protocol is consistent with the environmental incident reporting requirements contained in the Roads and Maritime Environmental Incident Classification and Reporting Procedure.




4.4. Pre-emptive actions

Pre-emptive actions to be taken to minimise or prevent any risk of harm to human health or the environment arising from project activities are included in the following project documentation:

4.7. Communicating with neighbours and local community

Should a pollution incident occur that threatens to cause harm to human health or the environment, the following notification protocol will be followed:

Environmental and engineering staff in consultation with Community Liaison team will determine the community notification catchment depending on the nature of each incident and input from authorities.

Early warnings and regular updates ongoing as required will be issued by phone calls, web updates and door knocking to affected residents/receivers.

Notifications to affected residents will include details of incident, time frame of the impact and the mitigation measures put in place.

Instructions to residents to minimise health impact (i.e. for airborne chemicals residents will be advised to close windows and doors, to take extra care if they have respiratory issues, keep children inside and protect animals, where possible).

Sensitive receivers will receive priority notification of pollution incidents.

4.8. Minimising harm to persons on premises

Should a pollution incident occur that threatens to cause harm to persons on the premises this Plan will be activated.

4.9. Maps

Clause 98C (1) (k) of the POEO (G) Regulation, requires a detailed set of maps showing the following information:

The location of the premises to which the EPL relates

The surrounding area that is likely to be affected by a pollution incident

The location of potential pollutants on the premises

The location of any stormwater drains on the premises.

With the exception of the location of stormwater drains, all required information is shown on the Sensitive Area Plans included in Appendix A6 of the CEMP.

The location of stormwater drains will be shown on the most current set of Drainage Drawings, available on the Fulton Hogan server.

Since the Sensitive Area Plans and Drainage Drawings are subject to frequent change throughout construction, the reader is asked to refer directly to the respective document (as mentioned above) to ensure its currency, rather than appending it separately to this IERP.




5. Training

The EPC shall determine the specific competencies required to adequately respond in an incident or emergency at each site, and the training required to achieve these competencies. Training shall conform to all project requirements depicted in the project’s Training Management Plan, including any environmental emergency response training. This process shall be tracked and managed in Fulton Hogan’s People Development Platform online application (PDPAU). Training shall be carried out to achieve the following emergency related competencies:
