Coal mine emergency rescue plan classification

The emergency plan for major accidents consists of emergency plans for enterprises (onsite) and emergency plans for off-site governments. The on-site emergency plan is in the charge of the enterprise, and off-site emergency plans are handled by the competent government departments at all levels. On-site emergency plans and off-site emergency plans should be formulated separately, but they should be coordinated.

According to the scope, location, and emergency methods of possible accident consequences, the establishment of China's accident emergency rescue system can be divided into the following five levels, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 Level of accident emergency plan

I. Level I (enterprise level) emergency plan

The harmful effects of such accidents are confined to the boundaries of a unit (such as a factory, train station, warehouse, farm, terminal station of gas or oil pipeline pressurization stations, etc.) and can be contained and controlled by on-site operators. In this area. Such accidents may need to be invested in the control of the entire unit, but their impact is not expected to extend to the community (public areas).

II. Emergency Preparedness for Class II (County and City Community Level)

The impact of such accidents can be extended to public areas (communities) but can be controlled by the power of the county (city, district) or community, plus the power of the factories or industrial sectors involved.

III. Emergency Preparedness for Class III (Regional and Municipal Levels)

Such accidents have a wide range of consequences, serious consequences, or accidents that occur on the borders of the jurisdiction of two counties or county-level cities. Emergency rescue requires the use of regional power.

IV. Class IV (provincial) emergency plan

The province’s accident emergency response plan shall be established for possible major fires, explosions and poison leakage accidents, major dangerous goods transport accidents, and provincial-level major accident hazards and major provincial hazard sources. It may be a catastrophic accident of a very large scale, or it may be a special accident that requires special technologies and equipment that are not available in the city or region where the accident occurred. Such accidents need to be controlled with the power of the province.

V. V (National) Emergency Response Plan

The state-level contingency plans shall be formulated for facilities or places where the consequences of an accident exceed the boundaries of provinces, municipalities directly under the Central Government, and autonomous regions, and are listed as national-level accident hazards and major sources of danger.

Once an accident occurs in an enterprise, the emergency procedures shall be implemented immediately. If the assistance from the higher level is required, it shall also report the accident emergency department of the local county (city) or the community government. According to the predicted impact degree and scope of the accident, the emergency manpower, material resources, and financial resources that need to be invested Gradually start accident emergency plan.

In any case, continuous monitoring of the development and control of accidents should be carried out, and the information should be transmitted to the community-level command center. The community-level accident emergency command center will submit the verified information to higher-level emergency agencies according to the severity of the accident. The community-level accident emergency command center may seek expert opinions from scientific research units, prefectures (municipalities) or national experts, databases, and laboratories regarding the performance of hazardous materials involved in accidents and accident control measures.

Enterprise or community-level accident emergency command centers should continuously report the progress of accident control, decisions made and actions taken. The latter examines, approves or proposes alternative countermeasures. The decision to transfer the accident emergency treatment to the upper-level command center should be jointly decided by the community-level command center and higher-level government agencies. The basis for making this decision (upgrade) is whether the scale of the accident, the emergency resources that the community and the company can provide, and the location of the accident will place the community outside the area at risk.

The competent government department should establish a suitable alarm system and have a standard procedure to transmit the accident occurrence and development information to the corresponding level emergency command center and start the corresponding level emergency plan based on the evaluation of the accident status.

The emergency management plan for the Mayor's Office of the Salt Lake City in the United States divides the emergency level into three levels:

1. First level emergency

Definition: An accident that can be handled by a department's normal and available resources. The “normally available resources” referred to here refers to the manpower and material resources that the department can respond to in its daily work.

Responsibilities: Within the scope of normal duties, decisions are made to properly resolve incidents.

Notice: No

Action: If required, the competent authority can establish a local command post without the need for the entire city to take action. The expropriation affairs will be handled by the competent authority. The required logistical support and the addition of personnel or other resources will be additional duties of the competent authority.

2. Class 2 tight competition

Definition: An incident that requires the response of two or more government administrations, or an event that needs outside the city to respond and give aid. These events need to work together and provide people, equipment, or other resources. They interfere with the normal operation of some or all of the responding departments.

Responsibilities: Responsibility for making major decisions is given to the department that normally manages this situation, while the department that needs to participate in cooperation is the department that needs to undertake support. These cooperation should be able to properly solve the problem.

Notice: The mayor should get a report from the start-up department about the incident.

Action: The parent organization of the response department can establish a local command post and notify all local response agencies.

The responding department can also establish an administrative command post (usually located in its main organization or in its scheduled area) and should inform all response departments and local mayors.

The expropriation affairs will be handled by the response department. The required logistics support, additional personnel or other resources are additional responsibilities of the responsible department. The materials needed for an emergency should be submitted to the mayor for decision. He can quickly handle these needs through the material assistance department.

3. Level 3 emergency

Definition: It is necessary to make use of unexpected incidents in all parts of the city and all resources, or to require various departments of the city to unite with agencies outside the city to deal with various situations.

Responsibility: The responsibility for making the main decision was given to the emergency management department. Commanders can make decisions on the scene necessary to protect life and property and stabilize the situation. The decision to resolve the entire emergency should be handled by the emergency management department.

At this level of emergency, the mayor of an official emergency authority usually issues an “emergency announcement”.

Notice: The following persons will be notified (when they are absent, replaced by other members of the department): the mayor, the number one officer of each department, the chief of the police, the director of the fire department, the head of the municipal engineering department, and other persons designated by the mayor.

The earliest operational department has the responsibility of making the above notice. The department that has started operations can, in any case, receive assistance from the personnel dispatched by the notified police station as needed.

Action: The main leaders of the main departments should establish a command post in the local area and notify all departments with responsibilities.

The chief of police should play an important role in the urban emergency command center. All members of the emergency management department should report to the command center and carry a mobile phone with them whenever possible.

The expropriation affairs will be undertaken by the command center. The acquisition of further personnel, materials and other resources will be the work of the emergency management department. All support staff will report to the Fire Command. In the third-level emergency, the fire department will assume the necessary transportation functions.
