CO2, DCP. Water spray may be used to control and confine LPG fires. Do not attempt o extinguish fire until leak has been shut off. For small fire use dry chemicals. Let large fires burn if not heating the container. When exposed to heat and flame, containers may rupture due to BLEVE
Risk Analysis
Based on three steps
What can go wrong? (Hazard identification) How often it can go wrong? (Failure frequency) What are the effects of consequences? (Effect and damage calculations)
MODES OF FAILURE OF PRODUCT STORAGE VESSELS
Material and construction failures Corrosion Gasket failures
PRINCIPAL HAZARDS - LPG
Flammability & Explosion Jet Fire Pool Fire BLEVE Flash Fire UVCE Asphyxia Cold Burns Metal brittleness due to Low temperature
Consequences Analysis

On site Emergency Structure
The basic concept of this plan is to provide a comprehensive approach for managing emergencies. Four elements of this plan are Prevention - incorporates all those activities that eleminate the probabilityof disaster occuring on-site. Preparedness - includes all activities necessary to ensure a high degree of readiness Response- measures taken during an incident which minimise damage to life and property. Recovery includes those short and long-term activities that return all systems to normal operations.
Declaration of Emergency
Upon declaration of Emergency Sr.Plant Manager makes initial assessment of incident and determine the need for evacuation. ensure that all personnel are accounted for. ensure that outside agencies are communicated as per DMP as follows:
Dy. Commisioner Regional, State & Head Offices Fire Dept Law & Order Revenue Dept Local Panchayat Railways KPTCL Medical Dept.
Public Awareness Programs
Various programs being conducted For creating public awareness to the Neighboring villages.
