IV. RESPONDING TO GAS LEAK REPORTS
It is the responsibility of the contractor to make sure the proper employees are familiar with procedures concerning gas leak calls and reports.
1. The employee receiving a report of a gas leak should get as much of the information as possible to fill out the leak report form properly. Use common sense: saving human life and property is the first consideration.
2. Leaks inside a building get top priority.
3. After getting the information, and determining that a hazardous leak exists inside a building, remind the customer of all the following information:
No one is to turn ON or OFF any electrical switches or appliances. Don't hang up the phone or attempt any other telephone calls.
Have all persons leave the building if imminent hazard.
Do not re-enter the building for any reason until cleared by the fire department. Keep bystanders away from the area.
4. Dispatch necessary personnel to the location of the reported leak.
5. DUTIES OF FIRST EMPLOYEE ON THE SCENE:
TAKE EVERY CORRECTIVE ACTION NECESSARY TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY FROM DANGER (IN THAT ORDER). THE FIRST PERSON ON THE SCENE IS IN CHARGE UNTIL RELIEVED BY HIGHER AUTHORITY. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PERSON IN CHARGE TO:
Set up communication.
Coordinate the operation.
Make all decisions concerning emergency valves and isolating areas as well as the use of emergency equipment.
Implement the checklist for a major emergency covered in this plan in Section V.
6. EMPLOYEE ACTIONS:
A. GAS LEAKS OUTSIDE BUILDING
Assess danger to public surrounding building, occupants, and property. Extinguish all open flames. No smoking.
If necessary, notify fire and police. Isolate the area.
Notify supervisor or other responsible person.
Bar hole perimeter of foundation of building and check for gas using combustible gas indicator (CGI).
Check neighboring buildings for gas. Implement Check List for major emergency. Repair gas leak.
Be positively sure it is safe before return of occupants to buildings.
B. LEAK INSIDE BUILDING
Evaluate building immediately to determine concentration of gas and source of leak. Evacuate if necessary.
If building cannot be entered, notify the DPW and accomplish as many of the items listed below as possible until entry is gained.
DO NOT operate any electrical switches. DO NOT use the phone.
Shut off gas meter valve. Disconnect service and cap if feasible. Ventilate building.
Bar hole area especially around foundation. Check water meter and other openings for gas.
If ground is gas free and if building is gas free, valve off appliances and perform gas meter clock test or perform Pressure drop test. If a leak is indicated check all gas piping and appliances for leaks. Conduct a soap bubble test.
Don't give up until the leak is found. Implement checklist for major emergency. Repair leak.
If leak cannot be repaired, isolate affected area if possible and then restore service.
Notify customer. If leak cannot be isolated turn off service and disconnect if possible, lock it, tag it, and leave.
C. FIRE OR EXPLOSION NEAR A PIPELINE FACILITY.
Assess danger to surrounding buildings, occupants, and property. Notify fire and police. Notify the gas supplier (Southwest Gas) if the event involves a main regulator (A or C) station or if their assistance is needed in isolating the system. "A" station is west of Whitside road (4400 feet west of Greely Hall) and "C" station is near the east gate.
Isolate area.
Notify supervisor or other responsible person.
Use key valves to isolate pipeline facility near fire or explosion if possible. Implement major emergency check lists (Section V).
D. FIRE OR EXPLOSION DIRECTLY INVOLVING A PIPELINE FACILITY
Assess danger to surrounding buildings, occupants, and property.
Notify fire and police. Notify the gas supplier (Southwest Gas) if the event involves a main regulator (A or C) station or if their assistance is needed in isolating the system. "A" station is west of Whitside road (4400 feet west of Greely Hall) and "C" station is near the east gate.
Isolate area.
Notify supervisor or other responsible person.
Allow gas to continue to burn if at all possible until an effective shutdown can be made.
Burning gas does not pose as great a threat as gas seeking a point of ignition that may not have been completely extinguished. If the burning gas poses a greater threat than being extinguished might pose, then the advice of fire officials should guide any action.
Investigate adjacent sewer lines to insure no sewer fire is present. If underground fire is present, immediately excavate outside the fire area or locate manholes and sandbag off the main. If the fire is only on the surface, carefully extinguish it and open up manholes and bar-holes for venting.
Implement major emergency check lists.
E. SYSTEM OVERPRESSURE
Determine the pressure in the distribution system by the quickest method available.
If the distribution system pressure observed exceeds the set pressure of the system, an immediate pressure reduction should be made. Repair or replace any malfunctioning regulating equipment.
Contact owner of upstream supply facility (Southwest Gas) if necessary.
Assess possible damage to the affected system and conduct leakage surveys as necessary.
Document all action and remedial measures taken and the results of such actions, via pressure recorder charts, logs, leakage survey results, etc.
F. GAS CONTROL
After the appropriate steps have been taken to secure the area and to protect the general public, steps must be taken to control the flow of escaping gas.
To control the flow of escaping gas, the following methods, depending upon the situation, can be utilized:
a. Manual or hydraulic squeezers.
b. Halt machine.
c. Stopping equipment.
d. Leak repair clamp.
e. Valves.
f. Isolation plan (to be used for a catastrophic event that effects a major portion of the system.
g. Other methods as may be appropriate for the situation.
G. NATURAL DISASTER
A natural disaster may involve all of the above scenarios perhaps in multiple locations. Natural disaster will probably require more personnel over longer periods of time. Every effort should be made to obtain emergency personnel from adjacent cities or bases as soon as possible.
In the event of a major earthquake, it is likely that damage to the natural gas system may be substantial with the potential for widespread fire and explosion. In this event, have Southwest gas turn off the entire natural gas system at the Southwest gas main regulator stations (A and C). Gas service should be restored in sections after suitable inspections and repairs have been made. Every effort should be made to restore gas service to critical areas first such as surviving medical facilities, mess halls, and housing.
