1.0 Purpose
This Plan, known as the Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan (EPRP)
establishes a process which provides a controlled and coordinated response to
emergencies for work conducted on or for construction and start-up of the GLNG Project
facility.
The purpose of this Plan is to:
To protect the health, safety and welfare of Project employees, subcontractors and
visitors; and
The Projects Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Management Plan and the
Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) further support this document.
Bechtel Core Process 203 - Emergency Preparedness provides a basis for emergency
preparedness and response.
2.0 Objectives
The objectives of the ERP are:
These actions, when followed, will substantially reduce the effect of potentially
dangerous situations on personnel, property and the environment.
3.0 Scope
This Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan covers Gladstone Mainland
Facilities, Curtis Island and Marine Facilities during construction and start-up. Separate
Emergency Response Plans for Home Offices (i.e., Houston, Gladstone, Brisbane and
other locations), are addressed in separate emergency response plans specific to those
locations.
This Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan will be updated, if necessary, prior to
mobilization to address any identified changes. Copies of this Plan will be formally
issued to GLNG and disseminated to all relevant Bechtel and subcontractor personnel
as required.
Bechtel Confidential Copyright Bechtel Oil Gas & Chemicals 2010. All rights reserved.
A separate Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan will be developed for the
Module Yard operation in Batangas in the Philippines, prior to the commencement of
work activities.
Additionally, Bechtel shall also acknowledge other sources of emergency resources
existing at neighbouring facilities adjacent to the GLNG construction site.

7.2 Communications
Emergency communications will be generated via a two-way radio system. A radio
channel will be assigned as the dedicated emergency channel, which if activated will
override all other communication channels. As an alternative to the radio system,
emergency telephones will also be available in the Emergency Control Centre on site for
external calls.
The following dedicated radio channels will be used in the event of an emergency:
The communication and coordination of roll calls will be made using other project
channels by Supervisors/Wardens.
All personnel communicating via radios are to be aware of privacy breaches, particularly
sensitive information that may be overheard by third parties. Names of missing team
members or discussion of injuries are NOT to be broadcast over the radio. Sensitive
information communicated to the ECC will be conveyed via mobile phones or face-toface.
Emergency communication equipment is to be considered as part of the planning phase
of each task and recorded on the Job Hazard Analysis. This will be communicated to
each team member before work commences.
In the event of an emergency, the EOC, in consultation with local emergency services,
will direct the response strategy to place emergency service personnel on the Island or
to evacuate any injured personnel from the Island to medical treatment facilities on the
mainland.
In emergencies, a call will be made to 0001. This call will be directed to the appropriate
Queensland Emergency Services Co-ordination Centre (Ambulance, Fire and Rescue,
or Police).
The caller will clearly identify the project by using the following wording to avoid
confusion with the other projects.
This is (LNG, CURTIS ISLAND, LOT 1, GLNG) calling
Bechtel Confidential Copyright Bechtel Oil Gas & Chemicals 2010. All rights reserved.
14
Other potential locations where emergency calls may originate include mainland project
locations (RG Tanna, Port Central, Fishermans Landing, Mainland Office) or from a
vessel in the Port of Gladstone.
In the case of injury or entrapment, a comprehensive description of the type of
emergency will be given to the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) Co-ordinator.
For further details, refer to Appendix D Reporting an Emergency.
Medical Emergencies
Marine emergencies
Type and frequency of emergency exercises will vary depending on construction stage,
personnel population on Curtis Island, identified risks or as deemed necessary by EOO.
as a minimum, two desktop and three mock exercises will be conducted annually.
Emergency exercises will also be held for Mainland facilities, including offices, etc.
The Emergency Controller will prepare a written overview of the planned exercise and
will facilitate the drill.
Drills may incorporate a full site muster and will include a specific emergency, e.g., fire,
medical emergency, etc.
Where practicable, external emergency groups may be requested to participate in these
emergency exercises to ensure communications and joint actions are assessed and
addressed where lacking.
A timeline of the emergency exercise will be maintained and used in the debriefing along
with any photographs or videos of the event.
A debrief will occur at the completion of each emergency drill and all personnel involved
shall participate and provide input.
A report will be prepared following each emergency drill providing an overview of the drill
and making recommendations for improvements.

9.0 Evacuation
9.1 Emergency Evacuation Muster Areas
The position of muster areas will be defined as the Project develops. Muster areas on
site will normally be located outside of construction and office areas, unless the ERC or
EOO nominate other locations at the time of the incident. Such changes may be based
on prevailing conditions or other mitigating factors.
Further, as the construction site is developed, signage shall be provided to direct
personnel to Muster Areas. Should any Muster Area be rendered inappropriate or
unsafe, due to incidents occurring at the facility and due to wind direction, or
construction activities, then alternative location(s) shall be designated.
The HSE group will be responsible for updating assembly area locations as well as
signage, once-a-month, with respect to moving work fronts. Similarly, evacuation or
emergency vehicle routes will be updated on a weekly basis with respect to construction
activity taking place throughout the site. Assembly areas and evacuation routes shall be
regularly communicated (notices, toolbox talks, etc.) to project personnel through the
use of maps and charts.

ERC and EOO will coordinate the evacuation from Curtis Island and verify with the
Wardens that all personnel have been accounted for.
A full evacuation of Curtis Island will only be undertaken once the Projects Evacuation
Management Team has assessed all likely risk scenarios and are assured that a safe
and timely evacuation is essential and can be achieved and all employees can be
transported to safe havens on the mainland. A risk assessment shall be undertaken to
assess likely impact of natural emergency risks and allied areas of risk mitigation.
During the early stages of the project, subcontractors will employ their own marine
vessels to transport personnel to the mainland in the event an evacuation is required.
During most of the construction cycle, the project will have the following marine transport
vessels at its disposal:
1 x Catamaran with 150 passenger maximum capacity
3 x Catamarans with 400 passenger maximum capacity
3 x Ropax vessels with nominal 80 passenger capacity
These vessels have the capability to make several round trips per day.
When necessary, the above vessels will be made available for Curtis Island evacuations
with the ERC and Traffic and Logistics Manager organising transport and ensuring
coordination at embarking and disembarking points, respectively.
All marine
transportation will comply with relevant legislation and the requirements and directions of
the Gladstone Port Corporation Harbour Master.
For further details, refer to Attachment 3 Evacuation.

Ensure that ships are advised of relevant warnings and response requirements
The VTS Centre will implement the cyclone contingency plan on behalf of the regional harbour
master by acting as a central communications point. The contingency plan shall become effective
when the Gladstone region is likely to be affected by a cyclone (or developing cyclone) as
determined by the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) within 48 hours.
Bechtel Confidential Copyright Bechtel Oil Gas & Chemicals 2010. All rights reserved.
21
Ships are to maintain a continuous listening watch on VHF channel 13 for updates
The Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) Centre will broadcast cyclone advices, warnings,
information and directions on VHF channel 13
Ships at anchor must ballast down and be ready in all regards to get underway at
short notice
Ships alongside may continue to load at the discretion of the harbour master but
must be ready in all respects to depart at short notice
Ships are not permitted to enter the pilotage area without the approval of the harbour
master. Approval will only be given if fully satisfied that the ship can safely load and
depart before the cyclonic conditions affect the pilotage area.
Ships are to comply with the routine vessel traffic management procedures unless
otherwise authorised by the harbour master.
All marine services are to be mobilised to assist clearing the pilotage area; the VTS
Centre will coordinate the safe and orderly clearing of the pilotage area
Ships alongside will depart as soon as marine services are available. If conditions
deteriorate rapidly it may be necessary to depart without normal marine services in
order to minimise the risk associated with remaining in port, as approved by the
harbour master
Ships are to report on VHF channel 13 when clearing the pilotage area
Ships masters must determine their own course of action to avoid the cyclone once
clear of the pilotage area. No direction or recommendation will be made with regard
to cyclone avoidance or the safe navigation or operation of the ship
Bechtel Confidential Copyright Bechtel Oil Gas & Chemicals 2010. All rights reserved.
22
Small craft will go to storm moorings in accordance with local plans. Small craft
should notify the VTS Centre of their location when secure.
The pilotage area will be closed and a broadcast made on VHF channel 16 and 13.
9.4.4 Port Closure
The harbour master may close the port, wholly or in part, or restrict the movement of
vessels in the pilotage area, commensurate with the threat to the safety of shipping or
the environment. This includes the threat posed by weather conditions, actual or
forecast.
The closure of the port or restriction on vessel movements will, as far as practical, be
implemented in consultation with key authorities and in a timely manner in order to
minimise risks.
Note: In the event of an emergency, which will necessitate the evacuation of personnel
from Curtis Island and/or marine vessels employed in the harbour, e.g., barges, the
Emergency Response Coordinator will liaise with the Evacuation Management Group to
ensure that a suitable time is allocated to achieve a safe evacuation of all personnel
prior to the closure of the port.
9.4.5 Reopening of the Port
The pilotage area will not be re-opened until the Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre
cancels the cyclone warning for the area and the harbour master is satisfied that all
danger has passed, and the pilotage area is safe for vessels to re-enter.
The VTS Centre will coordinate the safe movement of vessels following the opening
of the pilotage area in accordance with normal practice.
Berths will be re-opened and operations resumed when wind and sea conditions are
within operational limits.
9.4.6 Small Vessel Cyclone Procedures
It is recognised that most small vessels in the Gladstone Regional Harbour Master's
jurisdiction will be moored in marinas and owners may not be able to move them from
there. Owners may, however, move their vessels to a more sheltered location such as
Mangrove Creek but it is recommended only during the period of a Cyclone watch. The
following recommendations apply to vessels remaining in marinas:
No vessel under 17 metres LOA should move during the period of a Cyclone warning
Marina berths may remain occupied provided the berth they occupy has a pontoon
equivalent to the LOA of the vessel occupying it
Additional mooring lines are placed on all available mooring cleats taking care to
protect against chafing
Bechtel Confidential Copyright Bechtel Oil Gas & Chemicals 2010. All rights reserved.
23
Lines to be adjustable from on board and are sufficiently taut to ensure vessels and
pontoon move as one
Do not tie vessel to piles as this prevents pontoons moving with tidal and surge
movements
Ensure lines are made fast to substantial boat parts, for example mast steps,
winches and so on, bearing in mind cleats are known to have been torn out of decks
Remove all sails, furling sails, awnings and any items of high windage and stow
securely
Dinghies to be securely lashed inverted on deck to prevent filling with water do not
contemplate towing tenders
Stow your vessel with fresh water, food, fuel and charged batteries since it may be
the only comfortable accommodation available to you once the cyclone has passed
Keep storm anchors and spare warps ready at hand but well secured to prevent
them creating a potential hazard such as fouling propellers in the event you must
move the vessel
Remember vessels are moored at owners risk and it is the owners prerogative to
move their vessel if they feel insecure in the marina.
Vessels greater than 17 meters in Gladstone marina must comply with directions
from the regional harbour master and will be required to evacuate the marina and
inner anchorages and proceed to nominated safe havens in the upper reaches of the
harbour.
Vessels greater than 17 metres in other marinas within the ports jurisdiction may
remain at their designated marina berths but may be directed to a nearby safe haven
by the regional harbour master at his discretion.

GPC have tide gauges located at beacon E3, beacon S3, beacon S16 and QCL wharf
Fisherman's Landing.
The gauges refer to LAT and show the actual tide height above LAT.
Maritime Safety Queensland provides tidal predictions for pilotage areas. The tidal times
and heights for standard Queensland ports are available in the Queensland Tide Tables
and may be accessed at the http://www.bom.gov.au/oceanography/tides/MAPS/qld_ce.shtml mapBureau of Meteorology website.
Tidal stream predictions for standard Queensland ports are available upon request
through the regional harbour master's office.

25
electronically register (swipe card system) their ingress and egress. In the event of
an emergency, where persons need to be accounted for, all personnel will exit the
site to their nominated muster points and muster sheets will be printed to enable a
head count and to determine who has not vacated the site. There will be situations
where Emergency Response Team members will be required to remain on site to fulfil
their duties.
Personnel residing in the Curtis Island Construction Accommodation complex will be
required to register their entry to the accommodation area and will be assigned to a
room in one of the buildings. In the event of an emergency requiring a head count,
e.g., fire, personnel will be required to attend their nominated muster area and a head
count will be conducted.
During Early Works, working alone will be limited and closely monitored. Where there
is a requirement for personnel to work in an isolated area of the site, they shall inform
their supervisor of their location and carry a radio to call in at agreed times.
Note: Where it is determined that a person(s) is missing, the EOO will notify the OSC
and a search will be initiated.
Bechtel Confidential Copyright Bechtel Oil Gas & Chemicals 2010. All rights reserved.
26
In an emergency situation, a call will be made by EC to 0002. This call will be directed to
the appropriate Emergency Services Co-ordination Centre (Ambulance, Fire and Rescue
or Police).
The caller will clearly identify the project by using the following wording to avoid
confusion with the other projects.

The injured person is to be treated and stabilized on Curtis Island and transported to
Gladstone Marina, or
QAS will mobilize to the Island, by water or air, treat and stabilize the patient(s) and
transport the patient(s) by vessel to Gladstone Marina from where they will be
transported by ambulance to a nominated hospital or where a rescue helicopter is
deployed the patient(s) will be directly transported to a nominated hospital, or
QLD Fire and Rescue are required to rescue or release a trapped person, or
RACQ Rescue Helicopter is required to airlift the person from an offshore rig or
Curtis Island, or
Other vessels are required to mobilize to rescue persons in case of vessel collision,
fire, sinking or grounding
Personnel will most likely require emergency response treatment and evacuation for:
Injuries associated with falls from height, use of plant, equipment, vehicles, vessels,
chemical exposure, fire and explosion or entrapment
The person will be transported by site ambulance to Pioneer MOF and evacuated to
the mainland by marine vessel and upon arrival, be transported to the nominated
medical facility by company vehicle, or

29
QAS Paramedics and/or Queensland Fire and Rescue personnel will be transported
to Curtis Island by marine vessel or RACQ Helicopter, met by a 4WD vehicle at
Hamilton Point, or the Heli Pad, and taken to the incident scene to treat, stabilize,
rescue and transport a patient by rescue helicopter or the above mentioned means
to an appropriate medical treatment facility.
Note: Provision will be available to transport QAS and Queensland Fire and Rescue
vehicles to Curtis Island by marine vessel, if required.
QAS Paramedics and/or Queensland Fire and Rescue will be transported to the
offshore locality by marine vessel, or RACQ Helicopter, taken to the incident scene,
and carry out rescue, treatment, stabilization of injured/ill person(s) and effect
transport of injured/ill person(s) by marine vessel to nominated mainland marine
landing place for transfer to QAS ambulance or by rescue helicopter directly to an
appropriate medical treatment facility, or
The vessel will at this time give location co-ordinates as per MSQ Gladstone Port
Procedures.
NOTE: An offshore work barge may be located in an intertidal zone and may be
inaccessible via land or water, dependant on the stage of the tide. In this case,
evacuation by rescue helicopter via winching may be the only option. Capricorns
Helicopters are fitted with night landing capability and also a rescue hoist.
Bechtel Confidential Copyright Bechtel Oil Gas & Chemicals 2010. All rights reserved.
30
When calling an injury from a jack-up barge, the Latitude and Longitude will be given
to QAS Communication Centre along with required weather conditions and wind
speed, etc., which may potentially decide the method of rescue.
The barge crane will be made ready for use if directed by Emergency Services
personnel
All loose item of equipment shall be removed from the deck area or solidly fastened
down
When barge personnel have a visual on the rescue helicopter, or are contacted by
UHF Ch 10, the barge personnel will ignite a red smoke flare to indicate wind speed
and direction to the pilot, then exit the cleared area
Barge personnel will not attempt to touch or contact any suspended lines or rescue
slings from the helicopter so as to avoid static discharge incidents
Barge personnel will take directions from Emergency Services personnel during any
rescue operation.

are located on Curtis Island and at the Gladstone Marina, OConnell Wharf and, Port
Central, when the facility is constructed.
9.9.1
During Early Works, this landing site will be used and is located at the South end of
China Bay where marine vessels will drop off and pickup passengers and where the
projects vehicles will be parked.
QAS personnel will be met here and driven to the incident location. An injured person
may be transported on a spine board in the back of a utility 4WD to the Pioneer MOF or
the Helipad for evacuation.
Boarding the vessel with a stretcher will be via a hydraulic gangplank where mounted on
the bow of the vessel or by lifting over the side. GLNG, Contractor and marine
subcontractor personnel will be available for assistance and will be under the direction of
medical or QAS personnel.
9.9.2
A 40mX40m pioneer Helipad has been designated on Curtis Island for the GLNG Project
and is located at the far South Eastern corner of a significant salt pan in the centre of the
lease area. QAS and other emergency response personnel will be met at the helipad
and transported to the incident scene.
The helipad is located on a flat salt pan adjacent to the tree line (see Map 2). The salt
pan is dry and firm for the most part. However, the salt pan has been inundated to a
shallow depth during the highest astronomical tides and during torrential downpours.
There is a high visibility H marking on the ground and a wind sock for helicopter pilots
to gauge wind speed and direction. If required, a waterproof container will be supplied to
house flares for guiding in a helicopter.
Appendix J Helicopter Support Guidelines provides information required for a
helicopter response to the workplace on Curtis Island.
When the project personnel have a visual on the rescue helicopter, or are contacted by
UHF Ch 10, the project personnel will ignite a red smoke flare in the centre of the
helipad to indicate wind speed and direction to the pilot, then exit the area.
The project personnel will not enter within 40m radius of rotating wing aircraft, unless
directed to do so by the pilot.
The co-ordinates of the helipad are as follows;
-21470.02 South
1511312.00 Easting,
Bechtel Confidential Copyright Bechtel Oil Gas & Chemicals 2010. All rights reserved.
32
Note: A permanent helipad will be constructed on Curtis Island once sufficient site
clearing has been performed to allow a safe approach and take off area. This plan will
be updated to reflect the new location of the helipad, and helicopter services will be
notified accordingly.

marine vessels and QAS ambulances until the Projects permanent marine terminal at
Port Central (Auckland Point) is completed. It is envisaged that the Gladstone Marina
will be utilised for a period of approximately six months. This jetty is located off Alf
ORourke Drive in the Marina precinct. It is where the designated vessel will berth to pick
up QAS, and/or Queensland Fire and Rescue Service personnel or to deliver an
injured/ill person to a waiting ambulance. An ambulance may be driven onto the jetty.

In the event of a pandemic, Bechtel will initiate this Pandemic Response Plan which will
serve to advise and guide the project once the World Health Organisation (WHO)
declares a Phase 1-6 (1-7 in Australia) Pandemic Event.
Pandemic Phases
The World Health Organisation has 6 global phases to describe the status of a
pandemic worldwide. Australia, however, has 7 phases to guide the Australian
response to the pandemic as it develops:
Pandemic influenza - Australian phases

Site Location
Latitude/longitude
Passenger weight/build.
helicopter safely a circular area of 30 m diameter (or equal to twice the length of the
helicopter, when the rotor(s) are turning); free of obstacles, no scrub more than 0.5 m high,
no loose materials or any rubbish likely to interfere with the operation of the helicopter.
Maintain a safe approach and departure path that should extend outwards from the edge of
the Final Approach and Take Off area as indicated in Figure 2 and have an obstacle free
gradient of 7.5 (1:8 vertical to horizontal). This approach and departure path may be curved
left or right to avoid obstacles or take advantage of a more advantageous approach or
departure.
Include a Landing and Lift-off Area (LLA), at minimum, having an area equal in size to the
helicopter.
Only be used for day operations under helicopter visual meteorological conditions.
Helicopter rotor blades are very finely balanced and even a light object such as a plastic bag
drawn up into the rotor disc can cause major damage. Additionally, loose objects may be drawn
into the engine air intakes causing catastrophic engine damage.
Bechtel Confidential Copyright Bechtel Oil Gas & Chemicals 2010. All rights reserved.
108
Where possible, the Final Approach and Take Off area should be wetted down to minimise
dust brought up from the rotor blades
Ensure the flight path for take-offs and landings (upwind and downwind of the Landing and
Lift-off Area) does not require the helicopter to pass over power or phone lines, tall trees,
buildings or vehicles
If using a road for a Final Approach and Take Off area, do not select an area with poor
visibility, bends, tee junctions and make certain to stop all traffic
Keep all vehicles, injured persons, other emergency personnel and others at least 30 m
from the Landing and Lift-off Area
Keep any livestock, kangaroos and in particular dogs (which are attracted to the high
frequency pitch of the helicopter tail rotor) away from the Final Approach and Take Off area.
Remove hats and secure or remove loose clothing when approaching the helicopter and
when indicating wind direction
Only approach the helicopter from the side and remain outside the rotor path after it has
landed and only approach after the pilot gives you the thumbs up signal.
Before approaching the aircraft, extend right arm sideways with thumb extended upwards.
Do not proceed past rear locker on fuselage due to danger of the tail rotor.

109
Place two vehicles in an arrowhead formation to illuminate the landing area as shown in
Figure 3
Ensure the vehicles are placed at a 45 angle with the wind blowing towards them
Remove antennas etc from the vehicles and place the vehicles approximately 6 m back from
the landing area
Ensure the landing area is located on short grass or gibber stone or is watered down to
minimise dust. Dust recirculation by the helicopter at night is a potentially dangerous
situation.
