IntroductionEmergencies can disrupt anybusiness, any time. It’s impossibleto know exactly when they will hit,but certain types of emergenciesare more likely to occur than other,more catastrophic events. Theseare everyday emergencies, andby planning ahead to be preparedfor when they happen you candrastically reduce their impact onboth employees and operations.“A company’s preparedness levelwill directly impact the speed andlikelihood of recovery from theseeveryday disasters, and becausethey are more common they cancause as much disruption as a moredevastating emergency,” says JeffMetherd, Grainger’s Senior StrategyManager in Emergency Preparedness.In an earlier eBook, wediscussed the ins and outs ofbusiness continuity and disasterrecovery planning. Here, we’lldiscuss practical ways forcompanies and organizationsto cope with workplaceemergencies that will inevitablyarise and recommendations forresponding to situations oncethey occur. Metherd has writtena series of detailed articleson the four essential phasesof emergency management:mitigation, preparation,response and recovery.Read on to learn how youcan apply those concepts toeveryday emergencies.

POWER OUTAGESPower outages have become commonplacefor businesses, especially with increasingincidences of severe weather. Accordingto the Federal Emergency ManagementAgency (FEMA), weather-related outageshave doubled since 2003 and have cost theAmerican economy as much as 55 billionannually.About 44%of all power outages are caused bystorm-related events.According to Agility Recovery, a companythat specializes in business continuity anddisaster recovery, statistics show that 70%of businesses and organizations will facea power outage within the next 12 months,so it’s important that they understand thepotential impact of a power outage andplan accordingly.

Preparing for an outageThe implications of power outages will often be morefar-reaching than they may first appear. For example, doesyour company run its own data center? If so, informationsystems may likely crash during an outage unless you prepareahead. Does your facility allow access only through a radiofrequency identification (RFID) system? Forget about it if youdon’t have power and there’s no backup system in place.To prepare for the possibilityof a power outage:1Identify the equipment and systemsthat are critical to the operation ofyour facility.2Provide reliable backup power to theitems on that list.34Know the ratings of fuses, groundfault circuit interrupters (GFCIs)and circuit breakers and keepreplacements on hand.Remember to back up files andoperating systems regularly.GRAINGER PRODUCTSFOR POWER OUTAGESFeatured Product:Standby GeneratorsWith many models to choosefrom, automatic standbygenerators are a costeffective solution to protectboth operations and profitsin the event of a poweroutage. These permanentlyinstalled units start upautomatically whenever ablackout occurs, providing24/7 power protection.

The United States Department of Energyadvises that users of standby generators beaware of the danger of carbon monoxide (CO)poisoning from engine exhaust, electric shockor electrocution and fire. That’s why generatorsshould be positioned out of doors and wellaway from any structure—at least 15 feet awayfrom open windows so exhaust does not entera building.Other guidelines for using generators include: Generators must be properly groundedand kept dry—under an open canopy, forexample, and not operated in rainy or wetconditions—and properly grounded.Grainger offers thousandsof products that helpcompanies preparefor power outages,including hundreds ofelectrical generators.These high-qualitygenerators range from:1Small portablegenerators ideal forlocalized emergencies Equipment should be plugged directly intothe generator using heavy-duty, outdoorrated extension cords.2Gasoline and dieselgenerators for remotepower needs Turn the generator off and let it coolbefore refueling and use the type of fuelrecommended in the manufacturer’sinstructions.3Standby generators ofup to 150 kilowatts topower entirefacilities Make sure the generator is inspected andmaintained regularly.

Generator fuel requirements deserve specialattention. Know your generator’s rate of fuelconsumption and consider how much fuelyou can safely store, and for how long. Fuelsare flammable liquids and 55-gallon drumsand 5-gallon safety cans should be stored inflammable storage cabinets. Make sure thatyou identify weather-proof locations for fuelstorage. Anticipate fuel supply shortagesby establishing multiple fuel supply vendorsources. Storage tanks may require a permitor have to meet other regulatory requirements.The Environmental Protection Agency alsoaddresses the requirements for containmentand secondary containment systems in theResource Conservation and Recovery Act.An alternative to a standby generator is anuninterrupted power supply (UPS) device.It’s much smaller and less expensive than astandby generator, but it doesn’t generate asmuch power as a standby generator to keep abusiness up and running. Rather, in the eventof a power outage, this machine will keepmachines running long enough to save workand turn them off—for about five minutes intotal. That’s not going to cut it, however, whenit comes to business continuity if the poweroutage lasts for days. The same is true forequipment that comes with its own batterypowered back-up system.Creating backup files on flash or externaldrives is another important step to take whenpreparing for long power outages. Make surethe files are updated and tested periodically,so you don’t get caught short when anemergency strikes.You may want to considerthe following types ofgenerators:1234Industrial portablegenerators to providea ready backuppower sourceStandby commercialgenerators toprovide reliableelectricity and helpprotect businessand inventories inthe event of a powerfailureAir-cooled standbygenerators that usefans to force airacross the engine forcoolingLiquid-cooledstandby generatorsthat use enclosedradiator systems toprevent overheating

Responding to an outageIf and when a power outage strikes, report it to your localelectrical utility company immediately. Turn off heatpumps, large equipment and lights to decrease powerdemand when electricity is restored.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) note that as power returns after anoutage, workers may be at risk of electricaland traumatic injuries as power lines arereenergized and equipment is reactivated.The CDC recommends that employers andemployees be aware of those risks and takeprotective steps if they are in contact with or inproximity to power lines, electrical componentsand the moving parts of heavy machinery.Also worth noting is that systems requiringRFID cards to gain access to facilities maynot operate during a power outage. Optionsto consider for keeping out unauthorizedpersonnel include, according to FEMA: Installing a battery backup for short-termpower outages. Ensuring keyed access to at least one doorfor longer power outages. Ensuring someone always has the keyon his or her person or that it is in a safelocation off-site.OTHER PRODUCTSFROM GRAINGERGrainger offers a selectionof temporary powerdistribution systems thatallow businesses to supplyreliable, emergency powerfor a wide range of uses.Most systems are suitablefor facilities and job sitesand are availablewith GFCIs.

Recovering from an outageIn the aftermath of a power outage, make sure thatall personnel are cautious around electrical wires andmachinery. The power may be returned without noticeand these items will suddenly become hot.1Do not try to help repair power lines,such as by removing trees, as live treesconduct electricity.2Leave utility repair work toutility companies.3Never run a generator, pressure washeror any gasoline-powered engine insidean enclosed structure, even if the doorsor windows are open.Other essential suppliesallow personnel tonavigate facilities—andto exit them—when thepower is out: Uninterruptible powersupply systems Temporary and portablepower stations Emergency lighting andaccessories Barricades and cones Solar chargersCheck out this listof solutions to helpyou handle poweroutages.

SPILLSSpills of one kind or another occurfrequently in many industrial facilities.A 2015 study by the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention (CDC), showed thatnearly 58,000“acute chemical releases” occurred in theUnited States between 1999 and 2008.Given the frequency of such incidents, itis important to plan, prevent and reacteffectively when a spill occurs. Acquiringthe right tools and know-how to mitigatehazards and clean up messes is a keyelement in these processes.

The first step to addressing a potentiallyhazardous spill is identifying the typesof hazardous materials present in theenvironment. Hazardous materials andwastes are defined by the EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) as those that arepotentially harmful to human health andthe environment. In the United States, fourindustries—chemicals manufacturing, metalsproduction, metal fabrication and petroleumprocessing—are responsible for generatingaround 90 percent of all industrial materialsand wastes. The Environmental ProtectionAgency also addresses the requirements forcontainment and secondary containmentsystems in the Resource Conservation andRecovery Act.According to the Environmental ProtectionAgency, some of the most commonhazardous chemicals subject to theEmergency Planning and CommunityRight-to-Know Act, the ComprehensiveEnvironmental Response, Compensation andLiability Act and Section 112 of the Clean AirAct include:Ethylene oxide, used in chemicalmanufacturing, is both highly reactiveand flammable.Formaldehyde, a known humancarcinogen, is commonly used in themanufacture of resins. Short-termmoderate to high levels of exposure toformaldehyde can be fatal, while lowlevel long-term exposure can causerespiratory problems and eczema.Methylene chloride is a hazardousmaterial used in cleaning anddegreasing metal in the metalsfabrication industries. TheOccupational Safety and HealthAdministration (OSHA) considersthis substance to be a potentialcarcinogen and to increasecardiovascular, central nervoussystem and liver risks.Benzene is a hazardous material usedin petroleum refining, petrochemicals,rubber tire manufacturing and themanufacture of plastics. Short-termexposure to high levels of benzenecan cause dizziness, drowsiness,unconsciousness and death.Long-term exposure may affectblood production and the body’sbone marrow.

If workers are using hazardous materials ata given location, the spill may be consideredan emergency under OSHA’s HazardousWaste Operations and Emergency Response(HAZWOPER) guidelines. Spills that exposeworkers to high levels of toxic or harmfulsubstances, that could cause a fire orexplosion, that dangerously impact indoor airquality or that require workers to evacuate anarea are all considered “emergency spills.” TheHAZWOPER standard is designed to protectemployees and help them handle hazardoussubstances safely and effectively.Toxic chemicals pose a wide range of healthand physical hazards to employees, includingskin injuries and infections, skin cancers,allergies, asthma, burns, reproductive problems,birth defects, asphyxiation, injuries to internalorgans and possibly death.It’s also worth keeping in mind that spills ofnon-hazardous materials and those whichare not considered to be emergencies can stillpresent dangers to workers and workplaces.GRAINGER PRODUCTSFOR SPILLSFeatured Product:Spill Cleanup andAbsorbent KitsKits used to clean up spillsare central to the spillresponse action plan. Whenselecting a kit, it’s bestpractice to call in the spillresponse team (or work witha trusted third party if youhaven’t yet created a spillresponse team). Having teammembers involved in theselection process helps thembetter understand the typesof kits that are available andhow to use them.

Preventing spillsMastering the procedures required to clean up spills isimportant, but even more important is putting in place theright processes to prevent spills from happening in the firstplace. Equipment used in facilities can leak, so it’s importantto regularly inspect key elements such as hydraulic lines,pipes, hoses and fluid-holding containers.Other keys to preventingspills include:Inspecting containers that have recently beenmoved or transported.OSHA standards prohibit the use of drumsor containers that may rupture or spill whenmoved. “To the extent feasible,” the OSHAstandards warn, “the moving of drums orcontainers must be kept to a minimum.” Using pallets to reduce the risk ofcontainers being knocked over. Not storing liquid containers too closeto the front of a shelf and positioning allcontainers with the opening on top.Installing seep-through floor mats aroundcontainers will allow spillages to fall below thewalking surface into a secondary containmentarea or into a base free of cracks or gapsuntil the material can be removed (additionalguidelines can be found in “Containment andSecondary Containment Requirements”).Other things to keep inmind when selecting aspill kit: Keep it simple andsuited to your particularworkplace Employees working inareas where chemicalsare used or stored mustbe trained to use the kits Multiple kits may beneeded for the differentchemicals that may beon site to cover an entirefacility Keep cleanup kitshandy—time is of theessence when it comesto spill response

The HAZWOPER standard requires employersto develop and implement a written safetyand health program that identifies, evaluatesand controls safety and health hazards, andprovides emergency response procedures forhazardous and non-hazardous waste sites.The program must include, among other things,site-specific safety and health plans, a safetyand health training program and a medicalsurveillance program.Employers also must ensure that workers areeducated in safe work practices before theyare allowed to open a drum or container. Forexample, according to OSHA, only tools orequipment that prevent ignition are allowedto be used during this process. The OSHAstandards also require that employers informemployees of hazard warnings for the contentsof containers and drums, as well the dangersof handling unlabeled drums and containersbefore identifying their contents.Another preventative step is to make sure thatwork areas are kept as clutter-free as possible.The OSHA standards also require employersto make available a continuous means ofcommunication, such as radios or telephonesduring the handling of hazardous materials,and a distinct alarm to signal the beginning andend of activities where explosive wastes arebeing handled.Spill kits are made tobe appropriate for thechemicals on hand,such as acids, bases,cleaners, degreasers andbiohazards. Most spillkits include products tosoak up a spill, personalprotective equipment (PPE)and instructions for safedisposal.A spill cleanup kit shouldinclude the following: An absorbent packetLook for a packet thatcan pick up 70 to 90times its own weight Disposable glovesas well as scoops,towels and disinfectanttowelettes Quaternary ammoniaQuats (as it is called)is the key ingredientin many disinfectantsand is used to sanitizebiohazards—the spillarea must be cleanedup thoroughly beforeusing quats; chemicalneutralizers can be usedfor other types of spillsother than biohazards

Responding to spillsThe first step required in dealing with potential spills isto be aware of what types of spills might occur in a givenlocation. Making sure that all liquid containers and theiringredients are identified and labeled is one path towardthat awareness. This will also be of considerable helpwhen it comes to cleanup operations.Another essential step in responding to a spillis to develop a response plan. In formulatingsuch a plan, one thing to consider is the sizeof the spill. Spills involving 50 gallons or moreof a liquid usually qualify as a major spill. Buta major spill at some workplaces could alsoinvolve a gallon of liquid or less. It is importantto set up a spill response team to execute thespill response action plan. These are stafferswho have been trained on how to handlecleanup operations safely and effectively.According to Occupational Health & Safety,the action plan should contain the followingelements:Isolate the areaInstall warning cones around a 25-foot radiusof the immediate spill area. Depending on thesize and type of the spill, isolating the areamay also involve evacuating the immediateworkspace.Identify the contentsSafety Data Sheets provide warnings andhazard information relating to the liquid thathas been spilled. If the spilled substance couldbe a hazardous material, police and/or the firedepartment should be called.OSHA’s HazardousWaste Operations andEmergency Response(HAZWOPER) guidelinesrequire employers tocontinually evaluateand implement newtechnology for improvingthe protection of employeeson worksites. Examplesinclude new foams,absorbents, adsorbentsand neutralizers that can beused to decrease the levelof exposures to hazardoussubstances. These newtechnologies, equipmentand control measures mustbe evaluated by employersto determine theireffectiveness for employeeprotection before beingimplemented.

Don safety gearThis has to happen before beginning anycleanup operations. Appropriate gear mayinclude gloves, eye protection, masks, gownsand other equipment.Control the spillProperly trained personnel (see OSHAstandard 1910.120) should put smaller leakingcontainers inside larger containers to preventfurther release of fluids. Use materials likesand, clay or other absorbent materials toblock the spill from spreading. OSHA requiresthat employers furnish workers with salvagedrums or containers, an adequate quantityof absorbent material and approved fireextinguishing equipment in areas where spills,leaks or ruptures may occur.Clean upUse one or more spill cleanup kits to absorbwhat remains of the spill. Walls and equipmentnear the spill must be wiped down to removesplatter. Debris caused by the spill and thecleanup operation should be swept up anddisposed of properly. Drums and containersused during cleanup must meet OSHA andDepartment of Transportation regulationsand must be properly inspected and labeled.Damaged drums and containers must beemptied of contents using a classifieddevice and must be properly transferredand discarded. (See OSHA’s HazardousWaste Operations and Emergency Responseguidelines and an overview of the U.S.Department of Transportation’s FederalHazmat Law)EvaluateIt’s a good idea to document the spill andcleanup operations in order to determine howeffectively the spill response plan worked andto look for ways to prevent spills and improveresponse effectiveness.OTHER PRODUCTSFROM GRAINGER: PPE Chemical neutralizers Safe storage equipmentCheck out this list ofsolutions tohelp you handlechemical spills.

TOXIC GAS LEAKSIndustrial operations from aviation towelding make use of industrial gases.Although critical to many industries, thesegases are associated with a host of hazardsthat need to be prepared for and managed.Facilities that use and store any type of toxicgas—welding and fuel gases like acetylene,argon, carbon dioxide, helium, oxygen andpropane, for example—or refrigerant gases,such as anhydrous ammonia, are subject tothe dangers of gas leaks.The safe handling of gases and chemicalsis vital, and the failure to do so can result ininjuries, health issues and even death. Theproper storage and use of these products,as well as preparation and response in caseof a leak, is required to maintain safetyat facilities that use industrial gases. Aresponsible approach involves identifyinghazards and evaluating the risks from theseproducts to workers and the environment,with the aim of avoiding or reducing them.

Preparing for gas leaksThe first step in preparation for this type of hazard is tounderstand the risks presented by dangerous gases. It isimperative that all relevant personnel know and understandthe properties, uses and safety precautions before using anygas or gas mixture. Be sure to determine the appropriateequipment required to use the product and that personnelare all properly trained on how to safely operatethat equipment.Toxicity is the chief hazard involvedwhen handling gases. Examples oftoxic gases include:GRAINGER PRODUCTSFOR GAS LEAKS Carbon monoxide Hydrogen sulfide Carbonyl sulfideAsphyxiation is another hazard associatedwith toxic gases and occurs where there isa lack of oxygen, such as when oxygen hasbeen displaced by nitrogen. Nitrogen is oftenused in industrial plants to enhance safety,but it brings its own hazards.2.deep breaths in a lowoxygen environment willdeprive an individual ofconsciousness.Continuing to inhale nitrogen whileunconscious will likely result in the loss oflife. Asphyxiation is a silent killer becausethere is usually no warning that dangerousinert gases are present in large volumes.Featured Product:Gas MonitorsGas leak detection monitorsfor the types of gas present ina given facility help monitorthe air and determine whena leak has occurred. Thesemonitors are sensitiveenough to detect smallleaks, allowing repairs tobe completed before acatastrophic leak takesplace. Monitors can be eitherinstalled or carried, allowingfor continuous measurementor portable monitoring.

On the other hand, some industrial plants useoxygen in large quantities, and the presence oftoo much oxygen also presents a safety issue.If oxygen levels exceed23%combustion procedures such as those usedin welding are altered. A welding flame, forexample, would unexpectedly burn much largerif there was too much oxygen present. Thisoxygen enrichment could be caused by a leakand is therefore a potential hazard.Corrosive gases have the potential to causerashes, skin damage and severe respiratoryproblems. Ammonia and hydrogen chloride,used in plants for de-scaling piping andprocess equipment, fall into this category.Some gases are flammable, and flammabilityimplies the possibility of explosion. Many gasesare classified as flammable, but many of thempose a flammability hazard only when mixedwith air or other oxidants. The pressure underwhich many gases are stored can also cause apotential hazard: The sudden release of pressure canharm workers and damage the plant andequipment. Gases in cylinders placed in intense sunlightcan heat up and increase in pressure. Compressed gas cylinders should only behandled by those familiar with the hazardsand trained with proper handling techniques.Cylinders should never be dragged, slid,dropped or subjected to mechanical shocks.Gas detectors are used tomonitor for and warn ofthe existence of specifictoxic or combustible gasesand oxygen deficiency orenrichment hazards.Typical measurementlevels are as follows: In the low parts permillion levels for toxic gas Percent levels related tothe lower explosive limit(LEL) for combustiblegases Percent level of oxygenaround the target of21 percent oxygendeficiency andenrichment

Products like liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) maybegin to vaporize when cylinders are heated.Cylinders exposed to fire can have pressure buildto a point where it will rupture and explode withpotentially severe consequences. Dissolvedacetylene gas, used for welding, cutting metal andfor a variety of maintenance operations in plants,is particularly sensitive to heat sources. Heatexposure can sometimes take place unbeknownstto plant personnel, and cause cylinders to explode.Gas detection monitors alsofall into four categories:1Gases handled in plants for maintenance purposesor produced as byproducts of industrial processesshouldn’t pose a threat as long as systems areworking properly. But these gases can, especiallyin high-moisture environments, cause corrosionin pipes with the resulting escape of gases. Forsafe handling standards, the Occupational Safetyand Health Administration (OSHA) references theCompressed Gas Association (CGA).It is also a good idea, especially for companiesthat operate internationally, to familiarizepersonnel with international standards governingthe safe handling, use and transportationof gas and chemicals, such as the GloballyHarmonized System of Classification andLabeling of Chemicals (GHS), United NationsRecommendations on the Transport of DangerousGoods — Model Regulations (UN ModelRegulations), International Maritime DangerousGoods Code (IMDG Code), and the InternationalCivil Aviation Organization’s Technical Instructionsfor the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air(ICAO Technical Instructions).The GHS provides a basis for the worldwideharmonization of rules and regulations pertainingto chemical classification and labeling, but it isimportant to note that regulations are still hardlyuniform from one country to the next. Someregulations in the United States, for example, aremore stringent in some of their aspects thanthose embodied in the GHS.2A fixed system refers toa stationary monitoringsystem permanentlyinstalled in the facilityand may be hardwired oruse wireless signals toreport to a central stationand may be equippedwith an alarm system.The type of sensor usedwill be defined by thesystem, as well as the gasor gases to be detected.Fixed systems detectgases indoors and canalso be used to monitorplant perimeters. Graingeroffers around a dozenfixed-system productsthat can be configured todetect a specific gas or acombination of gases.Measuring oxygenpresence—whether toidentify enrichmentor deficiency—versusdetecting flammable gasleaks, such as methane,or a toxic gas like sulfurdioxide. Gas detectionsystems can be tailoredto specific plant needs,depending on whichgases are being handledin a particular location.

Mitigating therisks of toxic gas leaksIn a perfect world, plant personnel would ensure thatleaks from pipes and equipment never occur. You shouldconstantly test for the presence of leaks.In the case of refineries and other plants, extendeduse, vibration and age can cause componentsto loosen and corrosion to occur. Plants need toconstantly monitor for gas leaks using sensorsand detectors placed around the refinery that candetect specific kinds of gas leaks.One essential way to mitigate leak risks on-siteis to keep workers informed of potential hazardsthrough Safety Data Sheets and proper productlabeling. This information is critical to riskassessments and proper handling and usage.Inventory management represents yet anotherform of mitigation. More gas and chemicalspresent on an industrial site mean moreopportunity for cylinder leakages. Facilities canreduce the probability of a potentially hazardousleak by storing only what is needed. Regardlessof the extent of gas and chemical usage in anindustrial setting, teaching personnel about theproperties and potential risks of different gasesand chemicals will improve safety.Preventive maintenance is another criticalcomponent of safety when it comes to gashandling. Routine inspections should be carriedout by trained professionals to ensure thatpressurized gas systems are in compliancewith regulations and optimized to operate atpeak performance. Any non-compliance withregulations, or early warning signs of leaks orbreakdowns, should be addressed immediately.3Area monitoringdetection offers thebenefits of a multigas fixed systemin a transportableunit. These unitsare designed forteam protectionor short-term areasurveillance.4Portable devicesallow personnel towalk through areaswhere gases arebeing used anddetect leaks.

Responding to gas leaksGas cylinders suspected of having been exposed toa heat source should be cooled down before beinghandled. Acetylene cylinders, for example, which havebeen exposed to significant heat, must be cooled for atleast one hour after a fire has been extinguished.Using emergency drills to practiceimplementing emergency plans will allowpersonnel to respond to leaks more efficientlyand effectively. Informing local hospitals, firedepartments and other emergency responseorganizations of the gases in use allowsthose organizations to be well-prepared in theevent of an emergency. Appropriate personalprotective equipment (PPE) is an absolutemust when responding to leaks of corrosiveor pressurized gases. Complete chemicalbodysuits are used to protect personnelentering atmospheres that contain high levelsof toxic gases or where the presence of thesegases is suspected—for more information onappropriate PPE, see the Level A and Level Bprotection classifications from the EPA.Specialized equipment addressing industrialgas safety issues is required to keep employeessafe and facilities operating smoothly. Themore protections that are in place to detectand respond to leaks, the higher the chancesare for an injury-free incident. Gas monitors,ventilation and protection supplies betterprepare facilities to respond to a gas leak. It’sa good idea to locate other safety equipmentsuch as fire extinguishers, eye wash stationsand showers throughout the facility.OTHER PRODUCTS FROMGRAINGER: Ventilation equipment PPE DecontaminationsuppliesCheck out this list ofsolutions to help youhandle a toxic gasleak.
