1. Joint Retail-S&D Oil Spill and MERS Drill
Shell Stotsenberg Station
30 September 2013

2. Background and Objectives
Supply and Distribution coordinated with Retail North Luzon and proposed a joint Oil Spill Drill at Shell Stotsenberg, Clarkfield, Pampanga.
The local Fire Department & Paramedics were also asked to join the Drill.
Dealers from other sites were invited as spectators and encouraged to participate in the post-drill observations/recommendations.
Scenario highlights will be as follows:
Lorry spilling 2KL of FS Gas due to collision by another vehicle while discharging.
While containment is being done, ignition of spilled FS Gas occurs.
A site staff gets burned as a result.
The Main Objectives are:
To test Hauliers’ ERT preparedness, response, equipment deployment strategy, coordination and communication in a worst-case scenario.
To validate the retail site staff readiness for a worst case scenario, if ERP is relevant and if there are adequate equipment available for the containment and medical emegency scenarios.
Record the response time of responding Fire Fighters & Paramedics.

3. Drill Scenario
The Lorry Driver arrives at the Retail site. While positioning for discharging, a 3rd Party 40-Footer Container Truck enters the station and mistakenly tries to enter a closed Fuel Bay near the Remote Fill Point. The 3rd party truck driver then maneuvers in order to get in the open Fuel Bay but miscalculates his actions and hits the lorry with its trailer while backing-up. The lorry’s compartment gets hit and punctured at the compartment plate by the pointed right-end of the truck. As a result, about 2KL of FuelSave Gasoline will leak through the punctured compartment. The lorry driver will immediately press the lorry’s emergency button and to contain the spill with his on-board Oil Spill Kit. The Forecourt Crew will also respond by sounding the Auto Shut-Off button and activate their Oil Spill ERP. All customers & personnel will be evacuated to a pre-determined evacuation area while the rest of the forecourt crew assists the lorry driver by cordoning off the site, getting the fire extinguishers ready near the spill area, and help contain the spill with the use of sand. As the product continues to spill through the compartment puncture, the product seeps through the Oil Spill Kit and reaches a nearby parking lot of the adjacent commercial area where a cigarette butt ignites the product. A forecourt crew applying sand will suffer 3rd degree burns as a result.
