There will be four categories of critical alarm events:
Security Violation Events
A comprehensive security system is designed to be in place using surveillance cameras, access
control, and motion detection.
During regular shift operation, security violation events will be monitored by on-site personnel
through the security CCTV system and through notification via the access control system. A
phone system (VoIP) will be provided such that emergency assistance and/or local law
enforcement authorities can be summoned. A backup system utilizing a UHF two-way radio
voice connection will also be supplied such that appropriate assistance can be summoned.
Outside of working hours, arrangements will be made for security monitoring by off-site
personnel. The site security systems will be directly linked to BGNA’s security system via the
communications infrastructure. A backup system for emergency communications of security
events will be in place via UHF radio.
Fire Event
Fire events will be monitored during regular shift operation by on-site personnel, and
electronically by the proposed TSF’s on-site fire detection system. A phone system (VoIP) will
be provided such that emergency assistance and firefighting equipment can be summoned. A
backup system utilizing a UHF two-way radio connection will also be supplied such that
assistance can be summoned.
Fire events will be monitored during off-shift hours through the fire detection system; alarming
events will be monitored by off-site personnel. The fire detection system will be linked to the
communications infrastructure for notifications with a backup communications strategy provided
via UHF radio. Off-site security personnel will summon emergency assistance and firefighting
equipment by direct communications to local authorities.
Release of Hazardous Chemicals
Monitoring systems have been designed to warn of a release of hazardous chemicals within the
plant spaces. Outside of working hours, a notification system will be in place using the
communications infrastructure. A backup communications strategy will be provided via UHF
radio. Off-site security personnel will summon emergency assistance as necessary.
Critical Process or Operational Event
Critical process or operational events (e.g., retort over-pressure or over-temperature) will be
dealt with in a manner similar to hazardous chemical events. Critical process events will be
monitored via instrumentation and control systems and will raise alarms via the Control Room’s
HMIs. A phone system (VoIP) will be provided such that emergency assistance can be
summoned as necessary. A backup system utilizing a UHF two-way radio connection will also
be supplied.
