1 E University Contingency Plans: Emergency Procedures A Paper presented to the University Health and Safety Committee meeting, on 30 th March 2006, by Alastair Reid Preface to the Emergency Procedures The University has identified key risks in its central Risk Register, under the headings Academic, Operational and Environmental, Physical and Financial and Other. The central Risk Register is supplemented by Risk Registers at Support Group/School levels (e.g. Corporate Services Risk Register) and at department/service level, e.g. Health and Safety Risk Register. The Emergency Procedures contained in this document illuminate the section of the central Risk Register associated with occupational safety and health, and form an umbrella Contingency Plan which overarches and draws together existing Plans in this area, which follow in their designated sections. Plans to help direct the response to emergencies, and the model of response, can be usefully divided into 3 levels Strategic, Tactical and Operational. In the context of the U of E Strategic Level is perhaps synonymous with Senior Management of the University, whilst Operational Level equates to Divisions, Units, Research Groups etc. Tactical Level is less easy to clearly delineate, but is likely to equate roughly to College / School / Support Group level, with elements added in from the other two Levels. Strategic Level plans tend to deal with events which have the potential to have an impact institution wide, and these inevitably involve a requirement for a contribution from agencies external to the University e.g. Local Authority services, Public Health, environmental agencies etc. Operational Level plans tend to be designed with highly focussed objectives e.g. preventing a spillage in a biological containment laboratory from leading to contamination outwith the confines of the containment area. Tactical Level plans inhabit the territory between these two Levels. The over-arching Strategic Plan, which has three main functions: Providing a clear and unequivocal statement of commitment from the University s Senior Management to ensure that contingency planning is taken seriously throughout the organisation. Setting out a structure whereby strategic emergency co-ordination can be achieved, by identifying key people, allocating resources, and formulating policies and procedures. Establishing and confirming dependent relationships between constituent Tactical and Operational Level plans and response structures within the University, and relevant external plans and organisations. 1
2 Contingency Plans already in place Strategic/Tactical Level Operational Level Fire Asbestos Legionella Meningitis COSHH emergency procedures Radiation emergency procedures GM/pathogen emergency procedures Local general emergency plans (e.g. MRI Brain Imaging Unit) Hazardous Waste Emergency evacuation of MIP Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans Emergency Evacuation of MIP - policy Y2K plan* * Now not current, but the successful approach taken for Y2K is applicable in other circumstances, e.g. G8 General Philosophy Whatever variety of emergency arises which affects the University, one consistent feature is the need to set up a control group of relevant personnel, to anticipate and direct each facet of the emergency as it develops. The role of this group does not end with the end of the emergency phase per se a number of members will have roles in the disaster recover/business continuity phases which follow. When designing an overarching plan, we can envisage this control group in the form of the graphic equaliser on a stereo system, with each frequency band representative of an expertise area on the control group. Depending upon the type and course of the emergency we encounter, the contribution which has to be made by each area of expertise will rise or fall. For example, the Health and Safety and Estates and Buildings Departments will have much input into an asbestos, fire or Legionella emergency, whilst having lesser input to a meningitis (public health) event; C&PA will have a more constant, substantial input in all cases. 2
3 Emergency Procedures 1. Introduction The University has well known and clearly defined procedures for responding to a number of situations including the following: Summoning first aid and medical assistance (Appendix 1). Death or serious illness or injury of a student (Appendix 2). Meningitis outbreak involving students (Appendix 3) Legionella outbreak (Appendix 4) Asbestos incident (Appendix 5) Serious Fire Incident Hazardous Waste Incident Influenza Pandemic Many of these procedures have been tested in a practical sense over recent years, in real emergency situations, and have proved robust. The purpose of this document is to provide additional guidance to those staff likely to be involved in any major incident affecting this University. It will be regularly reviewed and revised in light of experience and following any exercises that may be conducted to test its effectiveness. This document details the procedures to be taken in immediate response to a serious incident. THESE PROCEDURES WILL BE ADOPTED IN PART OR IN FULL DEPENDING ON THE SEVERITY OF THE INCIDENT. Please ensure that these procedures are readily available at all times. 1.1 Implementation Implementation of the procedures can be brought into operation if the incident is such that it falls within the remit of the definition at 1.2 below. Depending upon the incident, it may only be necessary to implement part of the plan. 1.2 Definition The University has adopted the following definition, the first paragraph of which is that used by all the Emergency Services to describe those circumstances which will lead to the implementation of the University s Emergency Procedures. Any disaster or serious disruption of life arising with little or no warning, causing a situation in excess of that which can be dealt with by the Police, Fire and Rescue Service, Health Services and Local Authorities, operating individually or collectively, under normal procedures and which therefore can call for special mobilisation and organisation of those services. In addition, any other situation having a severe effect on the University and which, in the view of a member of the Incident Control Co-ordination Group (see paragraph 5.3), warrants the implementation of all or part of these procedures even though it does not constitute a disaster according to the definition adopted by the Emergency Services. 3
