4. Our Typical Client and User

5. Fire impinging vessel. What is next?

6. Large fireball follows!

7. Immediate Emergency Response: Fire fighting. What is a Safe Distance?

8. Chemical Emergency Typical Stages • Detection of event • Verification • evaluation/notification • procedure selection • Immediate response • Inventory isolation • Activation of mitigation systems • Dispatch of fire fighters on the scene • Public Safety emergency response • evacuation • Rehabilitation

9. To Manage the Incident Typical UK Emergency Response Structure • 1st level(Operational): Incident Controller on the scene - fire fighting • 2nd level (Tactical): Main Controller in Emergency Response Centre (on site) Can be: • site senior manager • fire brigade commander • senior police officer • Strategic: Company HQ-Police HQ 1 Operational 2 To manage the Consequences Tactical 3 To manage the business / legal implications Strategic

10. UserRequirement Analysis • Literature review: Emergency training systems • Legal requirements: Seveso Directive • Internal/ External Emergency Plan • Comprehensive testing of plan, at least every 3 years • Contacted 30 potential industrial users (UK, Greece, France, Belgium, Netherlands) • Compiled & sent questionnaire: 8 responses. Examples: • ENRON Integrated Response Service, Wilton, UK • BASF, Seal Sands, UK • Vopak Terminal Teeside Ltd, Cleveland, UK • Motor Oil Hellas, Corinth, Greece • Conducted interviews with interested parties

11. User Requirements Analysis-Results • Existing training: • Live exercises: best training but expensive • Tabletop/role playing: practising co-ordination but not real time • Regular drills: lack of visualisation. Can be boring • Computerised training: • practice fire and toxic dispersion scenarios • Better visualisation of consequence effects • Practice decision taking under pressure • The should should test and keep full track of the candidate’s performance

12. DNV Training Case • Main Learning Objective: Train people who could get involved in a chemical emergency to act in a way that minimises harmful effects • Learning outcomes: • understanding of chemical hazards and potential consequences • capability to analyse/ evaluate a potential hazard after detection • learning what to do to minimise harmful consequences • capability to take decisions under pressure • capability to communicate and co-ordinate actions with other parties involved in an emergency

13. Training Structure and Content • Training Structure • Introduction to chemical scenarios and consequences • allows feedback/ training on demand • evaluation can be automated • Real time training (single user) and possibly multi-user collaborative real time training • no breaks/ interruptions, debriefing at the end • assessment: partly human-based with facilitator/ team • Training characteristics • mostly classroom based with human facilitator • simulations for illustrations and real time exercising • full action logging

14. Identified Trainee Profiles • 2 Important Profiles: • Incident Controller (Shift manager/ supervisor) • Main Controller/ Member of tactical emergency management team • Other profiles are possible in the future • Local authority responsible • Fire brigade team leader • Leading police officer on the scene • Strategic decision maker (e.g. company director) • Member of the public in the neighbourhood

15. Incident Controller Training Case • Characteristics: • Hands on. On the scene leadership • Knowledge of the process/ chemicals: operational & fire fighting • Minimal computer skills • Possible Training • Visualisation of consequence effects • Familiarisation with risks (mainly the short term risks) • Immediate Accident Evaluation decisions (procedure selection/ emergency declaration/ notification) • Procedure application decisions (isolation, approach of fire)

16. Main Controller Training Case • Characteristics • Good understanding of process and chemicals • Deals with consequences (medium term effects) • Good computer skills • Possible training • Detailed simulation/evaluation of medium and short term effects, including offsite risk • Tactical decision making (evacuation, escape, advice to the public • Co-ordination/ communication exercises

17. DNV Training Scenarios • Toxic gas leakage (chlorine / ammonia) • dispersion offsite • external emergency plan activated • Flammable gas leakage & early ignition (propylene/ VCM) • jet fire impinging vessel • risk of BLEVE, fire fighters on the scene • Flammable gas leakage (Ethylene oxide) • dispersion onsite • risk of flash fire / explosion • Flammable liquid spill (naphtha/ petrol) • pool fire in bund

18. Summary • DNV training case: chemical industry accidents • Structure: • introduction to chemical hazard scenarios • real time training • Other features • Simulation for Visualisation • Decision taking within a time limit is important • Two profiles will be initially defined: • “on-the-scene” leader • tactical emergency response manager
