INTERNATIONAL SAFETY GUIDE FOR OIL TANKERS AND TERMINALS

Alarm protocols will vary, depending on the terminal. For example,
a single common alarm may be quite appropriate for a small
---ใช้เพื่อการศึกษาเท่านั้น---
terminal while a complex terminal/refinery may have to install a
differentiated alarm system to reflect a hierarchy of possible
emergencies.

It may be beneficial to include the option of a silent alarm,
whereby no audible general alarms are raised, but a small number
of key personnel are informed by telephone or portable radio and
are put on alert. Typical applications would be in response to
bomb threats and other forms of sabotage.

20.2.3.2 Contact Lists

The terminal emergency plan should include full contact details,
both during and outside office hours, for those inside and outside
the organisation who must be called in case of emergency.

The names of alternates, who will be available in the event that
the appointed person is absent or unavailable, should be included.
Alternates should be fully aware of their responsibilities and
trained in the proper execution of their duties.

The contact list should be sufficiently comprehensive to eliminate
ึ
the need to refer to other documentation, such as telephone
directories.

20.2.3.3 Communication System Requirements
Reliable communications are essential for dealing successfully
with an emergency situation. Alternative power supplies should be
provided in case the primary system fails.

There are three basic elements that the system should be able to
handle:
Terminal emergency alarm.
Summoning of assistance.

Co-ordination and control of all emergency activities, including
movement of ships.

The communications system should have the flexibility to cover
operations on the jetty, on a ship, on adjacent waters or from
elsewhere within the terminal.

Small terminals should, as a minimum, be able to sound an
evacuation signal that is clearly identifiable as such. However,
radio and telephone communications will be high on the list of
priorities in most emergency plans.

Larger terminals should be equipped with a complete range of
communication systems, which may include VHF/UHF radio and
public address equipment. Key personnel should always be
supplied with portable radio equipment. A communication centre
should be established in the emergency control centre.

If special dedicated telephone lines are not used, the emergency
communications system should be capable of suppressing other
calls using the same line.
