4.2 Emergency Response Teams

In workplaces covered by the Regulation on Emergency Situations in Workplaces, four teams

should be designated to respond to emergencies. These are:
▪ Extinguishing team
▪ Rescue team
▪ Protection team
▪ First aid team
The number of personnel in these teams will vary based on the hazard class of the project and
the number of employees indicated by the NACE code. This Project falls under the very
hazardous class, therefore, according to the Regulation on Emergency Situations in
Workplaces, the number of support personnel assigned for Firefighting, Rescue, and
Protection teams in very hazardous workplaces should be 1 person for every 30 employees.
For determining the number of support personnel in the first aid team, the First Aid Regulation
published in the Official Gazette dated 29.7.2015 and numbered 29429 is considered.
According to this regulation, very hazardous workplaces must have 1 first aider for every 10
employees. The designated first aid personnel must have a first aid certificate obtained through
training in accordance with the standards set by the Ministry, and they should be capable of
applying the learned practices.
The employer appoints support personnel according to the principles of the First Aid Regulation
published in the Official Gazette dated 29.07.2015 and numbered 29429. Each team has a
team leader. To ensure necessary coordination among teams during emergencies, individuals
responsible for the protection team are designated by the employer.
The nearest hospitals to the project site for each sub-project are shown separately on the map
and shared in Appendix-1, Appendix-2, Appendix-3, Appendix-4 andAppendix-5 respectively.
The emergency contact numbers and the lists and contact information of the emergency teams
should be organized according to the list in Appendix-6 and the most up-to-date version should
be posted on the emergency boards.

5 EMERGENCIES

5.1 Fire

Emergency Response Methods

Ensuring the safety of the employees who will respond is the priority in the fire. The fire
department should be informed immediately. Employees should de-energize nearby
machinery or equipment if possible. It should be ensured to go to the “Emergency Assembly
Point” without panic by using the pre-determined and announced emergency exit routes.
Things to do in the emergency area in case of fire are listed below.
▪ Do not panic.
▪ If the fire is small, extinguish any visible flames with a portable fire extinguisher and
notify your first supervisor and Project environmental, health, and safety (EHS)
Manager/emergency coordinator.
If the fire is too big for you to fight or is behind a closed door;
▪ Inform those around you by voice.
▪ If there is a fire alarm button in your location, press this button, if not, inform your first
supervisor to make the emergency horn sound.
▪ Notify your supervisor and the Project EHS Manager/emergency coordinator.
▪ Cut off the energy of the Machine-Equipment you are working with.
▪ Control the door handle (Hot surfaces should always be controlled with the palm, not
the palm). Never open the door if the door handle is hot.
▪ If you have a first aid certificate, give first aid to the injured,
▪ If there is no loss of life, go safely to the assembly area using the emergency exit route
(if there is an item to be rescued first in a fire, take it with you).
▪ Do not pass through a completely smoke-covered area on the emergency escape
route.
▪ Move as close to the ground as possible.
▪ If you have a friend who you were with during the work but disappeared in the assembly
area, do not forget to notify your first supervisor when you come to the assembly area.
▪ In the meantime, the teams intervene with the team leaders according to the situation
within their job descriptions. From the moment the fire brigade arrives, they become
the assistant of the extinguishing team.

6 GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

When both external and internal stakeholders experience problems, concerns, or difficulties in
providing their contact information, identification information, complaints submitted by
stakeholders will be initially evaluated and recorded as anonymous complaints or anonymous
suggestions.
Stakeholders can send all their wishes and complaints, without specifying their names, to the
wish-complaint boxes placed at specific points for external stakeholders or via hotline.
Grievances are received anonymously and assessed by applying the steps defined in the
workflow. Within the scope of the complaint, it will be evaluated through investigation /
examination processes and each stage will be recorded in the complaint mechanism system.
Third parties will not be informed about complaints that need to be kept confidential.
When the complaint is concluded, although there will be no formal feedback on the solution to
be implemented, if it is an issue that needs to be informed by the public and if deemed
necessary, it can be announced to the stakeholders through common boards/ public and
general communication tools.
During the construction and operation phases of the Project, there will be communication tools
such as a public relations office and a project website. In addition to this, grievances can be
filed through the interviews by face-to-face, on-line or telephone. Grievance forms will also be
found in easily accessible places such as common usage areas in the settlements, public
relation office and Project management office. The Complaint Notification Form will be kept in
print where these boxes are located and will be used for the submission of both anonymous
and public complaints.
Detailed information about the grievance redress mechanism can be found in the project-level
prepared Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) including Grievance Redress Mechanism
(GRM) (CNR-KGM-TERRRP-SEP-001).

8 DRILLS AND EXERCISES

Emergency preparations are performed through drills. The appointed teams gather at least
twice a year and perform the drill. During the drill, scenarios are determined for all natural
disasters and unnatural disasters. Within the framework of these scenarios, applications are
performed, and solutions are proposed to address issues that may arise during the disasters,
and they are resolved as part of the evaluations. All information related to these solutions is
shared with the employees. Planning of emergency drills are recorded with the Annual Training
Plan (see Table 3). Drills are held at least twice a year in order to ensure that the
implementation steps of the prepared emergency plan can be followed regularly and
implemented. The exercises are audited and reviewed, and necessary corrective and
preventive actions are taken. Date of the drill and the exercise, along with the arrangements
made to address observed deficiencies, are documented. Emergency plans are revised, and
the required corrections are made based on the experiences gained and the issues identified
during the drills.
Evacuation drills are held twice a year. Place, time of exercise, participating Emergency
Response Team members, names of other officials, and results of the exercise are recorded
in the "Exercise Minutes." Recommendations for reducing evacuation time and improving
overall checks are also made. Fire drills will be conducted according to scenarios determined
at the workplace. Fire drills will be held at least twice a year. All personnel will participate in the
drill according to the scenario, and their actions will be monitored to reflect real-life conditions.
Based on the reports prepared after the drills, deficiencies and erroneous behaviors will be
identified, and it is expected that each drill will be more successful than the previous one.

9 REPORTING AND MONITORING

An internal reporting system will be designed to ensure a timely feedback procedure

incorporating results of monitoring into management practices. During construction phase all
drills, audits and trainings will be reported to KGM RIU by the contractor in a monthly manner
or whenever necessary. During the operation phase, all drills, audits, and trainings will be
reported to KGM RIU monthly by the EHS team.
AIIB and KGM will be promptly notified of any incident or accident related to the Project that
has, or is likely to have, a significant adverse effect on the environment, the affected
communities, the public or workers including but not limited to; incidents and accidents
encountered during construction and operation works, environmental spills, etc.
Sufficient detail will be provided regarding the incident or accident, findings of the Root Cause
Analysis (RCA), indicating immediate measures or corrective actions taken or that are planned
to be taken to address it, compensation paid, and any information provided by any contractor
and supervision consultant, as appropriate. As per KGM’s or AIIB’s request, a report on the
incident or accident together with measures proposed to prevent its recurrence will be
prepared.
EPRP monitoring will ensure an early warning for emerging risks, which will enable early
actions to be taken to mitigate the impacts of such risks. The EPRP, and the Project’s site-
specific management plans/procedures will be reviewed and revised periodically and if
necessary, updates will be made as the Project proceeds. Validity of indicators will also be
checked on a regular basis, and as required with the availability of new information.
This Plan is a living document, and the responsibilities, procedures and compliance actions
shall be updated as required, for instance, in case of a change in the applicable legislative
requirements and standards. In general, the expected review and update frequency is
determined as at least once in a year. However, it should be noted that immediately following
an emergency, if an additional need arises without waiting for the predetermined frequency,
the EHS Team will review the plan and report their assessment to the Project Manager. If an
update is necessary, it will be ensured by the contractor during the construction phase and by
KGM RIU during the operation phase.
During the operation phase, the EHS Manager and EHS team, and during the construction
phase, the contractor and the contractor’s OHS expert are responsible for being fully aware of
the content of this plan, ensuring that personnel receive appropriate training, and ensuring that
procedures are implemented to comply with this plan.
