b. List of Potential Emergencies and Scenarios

BLOOD AND BODY FLUID SPILLAGE

> Small Spots of Blood or Small Spill

1. Use gloves, eye protection and mask.


2. Contamination should be wiped out with proper towels soak in fresh
prepared hypochlorite solution.
3. If broken glass is present, first treat the spill with hypochlorite solution
then carefully remove broken glass with forceps or scoop put in the
pricked proof container for infectious wastes and wipe again the
surface with the above solution.
4. Towels and gloves should be disposed of in a proper infectious waste
disposal.
5. Hands must be washed following clearing up.

Large Spill of Body Fluid

1. Staff patients and visitors must be kept away from the spillage and a
warning sign must be place while preparation is being done to handle
the spill.
2. Gloves, eye protection and a disposable apron should be worn. If the
spillage is extensive, disposable plastic overshoes or rubber boots
may be necessary.
3. Liquid spills should be covered with chlorine releasing granules and
left for at least two minutes before clearing up with paper towels,
absorbent mats or incontinence pads. A specialized spillage mop with
detachable is a convenient way of absorbing the spillage after
disinfection.
4. Alternatively, the spill may be covered with paper towels, mats or
incontinence pads and gently flooded with hypochlorite solution.
5. If broken glass is present, first decontaminate the spillage as above,
then carefully remove the pieces of glass with disposable forceps or
scoop to a sharp bin, before wiping up.
6. Paper towels, gloves, disposable overshoes and any contaminated
clothing should be placed in a yellow autoclave bag and hands
washed (reusable PRE may need to be contaminated with dilute
disinfectant).
7. Finally, the area should be washed with water and detergent and allow

consequences are severe. Earthquakes cannot be prevented. Measures including
earthquake-proof construction, compliance with the construction regulations,
readiness to provide timely and adequate reaction in case of emergency and
remediation of the consequences have to be taken in order to avoid human
fatalities and heavy damages of property.

Policies:
1. There should be an earthquake preparedness program in Manango Hospital.
• Preparedness program for possible internal disaster(earthquake affecting
the hospital infrastructure and people inside the hospital at the time of the
earthquake)
• Preparedness program for possible external disaster(earthquake affecting
people outside the hospital)
2. Internal disaster plan during earthquake
• Hospital Earthquake Response Plan will be activated
• Unit Earthquake Response Plan will be activated

OIL SPILL
1. Take steps to prevent leaks and spills. Keep machinery, equipment containers,
and tanks in good working condition and be careful when transferring used oil.
Have sorbent materials available on site.
2. If a spill or leak occurs, stop the oil from flowing at the source. If a leak from a
container or tank can't be stopped, put the oil in another holding container or
tank.
3. Contain spilled oil. For example, containment can be accomplished by erecting
sorbent berms or by spreading a sorbent over the oil and
4. Clean up the oil and recycle the used oil as you would have before it was spilled.
If recycling is not possible, you first must make sure the used oil is not a
hazardous waste and dispose of it appropriately. All used cleanup materials,
from rags to sorbent booms, that contain free-flowing used oil also must be
handled according to the used oil management standards. Remember, all
leaked and spilled oil collected during cleanup must be handled as used oil. If
you are a used oil handler, you should become familiar with these cleanup
methods. They may also be part of a spill response action plan.
5. Remove, repair, or replace the defective tank or container immediately.

0. Specific Procedure for Responding to Spills or Chemical Releases


In the event of a chemical spill, the individual(s) who caused the spill is
responsible for prompt and proper clean-up. It is also their responsibility to have
spill control and personal protective equipment appropriate for the chemicals being
handled readily available. The Department Head should ensure a spillage kit is
available in the area and that all members are familiar with its use and location.

EMERGENCY ACTIONS

• Immediately alert area occupants and supervisor, and evacuate the area, if necessary.
• If the staff is unable to deal safely with the chemical call the attention of
Emergency Response Team.
• Attend to any people who may be contaminated. Contaminated clothing must
be removed immediately and the skin flushed with water for no less than 25
minutes. Clothing must be laundered before reuse.
• If volatile, flammable material is spilled, immediately warn everyone, control
sources of ignition and ventilate the area.
IMMEDIATE SPILL RESPONSE

• Use personal protective equipment, as appropriate to hazards.


Wear safety goggles,face mask or respiratory protection (if Necessary) lab apron,
gloves and booties. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet or other references for
information.
• Consider the need for the respiratory protection. The use of a respiratory or self-
contained breathing apparatus requires specialized training and medical
surveillance.

Never enter a contaminated atmosphere without protection or use a respirator


without training. If respiratory protection is used, be sure there Is another person

outside the spill area in communication, in case of emergency.


Determine the extent and type of spill.
Protect floor drains or other means for environmental release. Spill socks
and absorbents may be placed around drain, as needed.
Loose spill control materials should be distributed over the entire spill area,
working from the outside, circling to the inside. This reduces the chance of splash
or spread of the spilled chemical.
When spilled materials have been absorbed, use brush and scoop to place
materials in an appropriate container. Polyethylene bags may be used for small
spills. Five gallon pails or 20 gallons drums with polyethylene liners may be
appropriate for larger quantities.
Complete a hazardous waste sticker, identifying the materials as Spill Debris
involving XYZ Chemical, and affix onto the container. Spill control materials will
probably need to be disposed of as hazardous waste.
Decontaminate the surface where the spill occurred using a mild detergent and
water, when appropriate.
Collect all contaminated materials and PPEs put them in a bag. Label the
bag as hazardous waste.
All chemical waste must be disposed of in accordance with the guidelines of the
DOH HCWM and the DENR. It is the PCO responsibility in ensuring that the
correct procedures for the disposal of the chemical waste are followed.
Report all spills to the concerned personnel and to the DENR - EMB within 24 hours.
