Action upon detonation or explosion
There may be no warning prior to the detonation of an actual bomb or resulting explosion of plant.
In the event of explosion:
- The Chief Warden will isolate gas, water and electricity (if safe to do so).
- ECO members are to evacuate all persons to a point of safety. Beware – there may be further detonations. Do not close doors and windows during evacuation.
- Leave lights on.
- Notify the Chief Warden and Emergency Services – dial 000.
- First Aid Officers should initiate treatment until relieved by Emergency Services personnel.
- Where utilities are contributing to further hazards they should be shut down in accordance with instructions and direction of the Chief Warden.
NOTE: After shut down of plant and utilities, they shall not be restored except under the approval and direction of the Emergency Services.
