Scenario 3.
Before and During Earthquake
Earthquakes strike without warning. Generally, the SAFEST PLACE to be is in
the OPEN – away from buildings.
However, if you are inside a building when the earthquake strikes, you
should NOT attempt to run from the building.
Outside the building you may be met with falling debris and power lines. It
is safer for you to remain in the building.
Move away from windows and outside walls.
Keep away from mirrors, light fittings, bookcases and other furniture that
may fall or slide.
If possible, take cover from falling debris under a desk or move to an
internal load bearing corner of a room, sit down and protect your face and
head.
Don’t use telephone immediately, unless for serious injury.
Don’t use vehicles unless there are special circumstances that warrant this
(for example a serious injury).
After Earthquake
Institute necessary precautions for areas and equipment with potential
hazards by installing warning signs.
Alert relevant response team to cope with possible developing danger.
Report to Petron the extent of damage, needs and current operation
situation.
Conduct Drills
The station conduct drill once a year to make sure that the organization have
enough knowledge about it. Last May 15, 2019 we conducted fire drill in the
station.
Reporting and Recordkeeping
Every person in the Station must report all incidents to the Dealer and make
Incident reporting provides information necessary for:
initiating accident/incident corrective/preventive measures
measuring the effectiveness of safety programs
Establishing statistics that can be disseminated, when appropriate to
