Ammonia Safety Day 6 Flammability 19. What is SAL’s warning when large amounts of his vapor enter a confined room with no ventilation? What is needed for SAL to ignite into a powerful ball of flame? 20. Why is SAL more sensitive when water is dumped on him rather than for him to jump into the water? LANCE – The super hero! Readiness for a Release 21. What does L.A.N.C.E. stand for? 43 Respiratory System Upper Respiratory: large particulate capture, water soluble gases Lower Respiratory: 5 μ particles, low solubility gases Mucocilary escalator removes contaminants LANCE Implemented: LANCE is an acronym designed to help focus on priority concerns when assessing a potential ammonia emergency event. LANCE should take less than a minute to mentally review. The LANCE protocol should be continually evaluated for as long as the incident is “out of control.” LANCE stands for: Life safety first ©ASTI – www.ammonia-safety.com – August 2008
Ammonia Safety Day Initiate emergency action plan. Set the hot zone and define the area most at risk for the first stage of your response; help people escape - rescue (when properly trained and PPE equipped). If the leak is incidental, stop the leak by following equipment shutdown procedures if it’s possible to do so without being exposed to ammonia above the permissible exposure limit or IDLH when wearing proper PPE. Alert facility response team Contact the Facility Emergency Coordinator and on-site response team. When the personnel arrive, inform them of the site status, employee location, medical emergencies and severity of the incident. The Facility Emergency Coordinator (FEC) should take command and implement LANCE and SIMPLE protocols. All members of the response team must be properly trained and equipped with PPE. Notify Call 911 for local emergency response support; call them early to stop the problem when it is small. Also report to local, state, and national response officials immediately (within 15 minutes) if containment of the release is not achieved and the release is perceived to have reached the reportable quantity, or if exposure to offsite receptors is likely or has occurred. The Facility Emergency coordinator may request trained office staff to make the actual calls using the “One Plan” forms. Reporting requirements for local and state regulatory agencies must be incorporated into the response plan. Contain and Control Restrict the release by closing doors. Consider closing the king valve or the main liquid and hot gas supply valve to stop the flow of ammonia to the affected equipment if applicable to the situation. These valves are defined in the P&IDs, valve tags, pipeline labels, and leak control SOP’s with digital photographs. In some instances the trained operator may elect to operate certain equipment in order to help minimize the release in affected areas. Evacuate Move laterally and upwind. Some instances may be suited for sheltering in place. Move all personnel not involved in refrigeration control activities to a safe distance from the affected area. Assess the extent of a release area with monitoring equipment and include the property perimeter to determine whether any neighboring off-site receptors are affected and notification must be issued. Refer to the building and site plans and map out the evacuation strategy. The FEC should consider appointing an Evacuation Coordinator and use Public Address System communications to alert facility employees to the direction of the ammonia release and any specific evacuation considerations. Transition to SIMPLE Plan: When LANCE is completed, take a breath, gather your composure and consider the containment and control plan by reviewing the SIMPLE plan. Injury Prevention & Health Concerns 22. Give an example of Prevention, Mitigation, and Preparation? 23. What type of personal protective equipment (PPE) should an operator wear when working around the ammonia system? 24. What’s the immediate area of concern should a problem develop while working on the system? ©ASTI – www.ammonia-safety.com – August 2008 7
