and members affected by workplaces under the control of BYCA
 Contain an emergency
 Protect property, plant, equipment and the environment
 Care for the welfare of casualties and families
 Manage the recovery and resumption of normal operations
Once this plan is approved it must be issued to the BYCA QSE Director to ensure that the BYCA
corporate office is aware of the relevant procedures and emergency contacts to ensure clear
communication in case of any serious incident.
This Emergency Management Plan has been developed to manage the Solar Farms Projects awarded
by NEOEN, under the following entities:
 Parkes Solar Farms Pty Ltd
 Griffith Solar Farm Pty Ltd
 Dubbo Solar Hub Pty Ltd
This Plan should be read with the site specifics section (Appendixes 1 to 4 of the Project
Management Plan.)

1.2 Document Responsibilities

This Emergency Management Plan must be in place and operational prior to commencement of
construction work and shall be read in conjunction with the PR-CO-05 Emergency Management
Procedure.
The Project OHS Mgr/Crd in conjunction with the Project Director will ensure that the plan is
monitored, reviewed (at least annually), maintained and updated as necessary and kept up to date
during the course of the project.
A copy of the Project Emergency Management Plan will be available for consultation throughout the
course of the construction work by all subcontractors and workers performing work on the site.
The Project OHS Mgr/Crd will ensure that each subcontractor is provided with relevant parts of this
Emergency Management Plan and Project HS Risk Assessment and Project Environmental Risk
Assessment for the preparation of their SWMS.
If a Project Emergency Management Plan is changed during the course of a project, the Project OHS
Mgr/Crd must ensure that any affected workers and subcontractors are provided with a copy of the
updated plan.

2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 Project Overview
The project comprises:
The development of four solar farms sites spread across regional central NSW. They will be split into
three main areas:
 Parkes Solar Farm: 66MWdc size on a 240ha property
 Griffith Solar Farm: 36MWdc size on a 125ha property
 Dubbo Solar Hub: This consists of two smaller farms which total to 29MWdc of solar energy
output

6.2 Environmental Incident Response Actions
In addition to the Appendix 4 Emergency Response Prompts and Appendix 6 Emergency Response
Protocol Cards, the following actions shall be considered when responding to an environmental
emergency:
 case of a plant and equipment or a machinery: immediate switching-off of machinery causing
the leak
 notify the maintenance team concerned as soon as possible
 seal off the leak if possible or remove the cause of pollution (overturned canister)
 use absorbent products (sawdust, absorbents) to recover the maximum of spilled polluting
products
 if leak persists, install a drain pan or other container to collect the polluting products that
continue to spill out
 if the leak spread, trace the path of the product and minimise the extent of the pollutant
using earth mound, absorbent socks

6.2.1 Treating Polluted Water

In case of discharging pollutants into water, complete and wrap-up the emergency actions:
 set up floating absorbing bunds as close as possible to the area of contamination in low
turbulence areas of the river to contain the spread of pollution
 prevent as much as possible the spreading of pollution
 use absorbing rolls on water surface
 procure the service of a specialised company if necessary to pump out surface water

6.2.2 Treating Contaminated Soil

Contaminated soil will be dealt with as follows:
 carefully strip the polluted area with a shovel down to the untainted soil level

 evacuate polluted soil to authorised site

6.2.3 Crisis Management

A Crisis Situation is defined by one or a combination of the following events:
 fatality
 terrorist attack
 natural disaster
 Actual Class 1 Incident
 incident event where we are exposed to risk of prosecution
BYCA will apply the Incident Management procedure PR-CO-04 Incident Management Procedure for
all the reporting of Crisis Situations.
In a crisis situation, it is imperative that the head of entity (Deputy CEO, CEO or Chairman and CEO)
be informed as soon as possible. It is his or her responsibility to decide whether or not to set up a
crisis task force, depending on a personal assessment of the situation.
It is also up to the head of entity to notify Bouygues Construction by informing the following or
seeing that they are informed: the senior management (Deputy CEO, Chairman and CEO), the head
of the support department concerned, where appropriate, and the head of the Communication

R3 08/02/2017 Page 17 of 40
Department at Bouygues Construction. If the latter cannot be reached, the head of External
Communication should be contacted. The latter are responsible for informing the senior
management, management of the support department concerned, where appropriate, and
management of the Communication Department at Bouygues SA.
Figure 1 – Crisis Situations Information Flow Chart

6.2.4 Media
All statements to the media concerning an emergency at any BYCA workplace shall only be made by
a BYCA Community Relations Manager or delegate as directed by BYCA Senior Management.
In the majority of cases involving serious injury or fatality the media may learn of the incident from
the reports made to the authorities and then attend the site without notice. The media will be
treated courteously but should not be allowed access to the site.
In the first instance all media enquiries shall be referred to the BYCA Community Relations Manager.
In case of a significant injury, it is important that the name(s) of those involved are not broadcast
until all next of kin have been notified and legal advice has been obtained confirming the release of
detail is acceptable.

7 POST EMERGENCY
Once the emergency has ended; incident investigation, rehabilitation and return to work, and
employee assistance programs may be required to be initiated. All these processes will be conducted
in accordance with the PR-CO-05 Emergency Management Procedure.

Classification Guidelines

Note that sorbents do not render liquids non-flammable,

neutral or less-hazardous and will take on the
characteristics/properties of whatever liquid is absorbed.
Therefore, all measures must be taken as if you were handling
the liquid itself. Sorbents do not make the liquid less
hazardous.
Always refer to the MSDS for the chemical absorbed before
proceeding

The well-known adverse health consequences of exposure to Manager/ERC
airborne asbestos fibres can be prevented if precautions are
taken and appropriate procedures are followed.
The risks posed by ACM depend on the nature and condition
of the materials and the potential for exposure.
The main elements of managing the risks of ACM in
workplaces are to:
• identify all ACM in the workplace, as far as practicable;
• assess the risks associated with all ACM; and
• introduce control measures to prevent, as far as practicable,
the generation of airborne asbestos fibres and any exposure
to airborne asbestos fibres.
