FACILITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN

In an effort to ensure a timely response in the event of an emergency, the following

Emergency Response and Procedures Plan have been developed.

Emergency Service Cards are to be posted in all of the offices at site and carried in all
service vehicles. The Emergency Services Cards will list emergency phone numbers for the
ambulance, fire, medical helicopters and police departments. The phone numbers for
selected medical clinics and hospitals will also be listed. Maps to the clinic and hospital will
be posted by all phones. The number for the Facility Manager will also be listed.

The Emergency Response Plan Procedures at the end of this plan will be completed and
posted at the jobsite.

All operations and maintenance (O&M) technicians and the Facility Manager will have
current certification cards in first aid and CPR. The project is equipped with a first aid
cabinet, trauma kit and stretcher basket.

1. Types of Emergencies

A. Medical - Examples: Worker injury, heart attack

B. Hazardous Material Release - Examples: Chemical storage spill, ruptured

hydraulic hose

C. Catastrophic - Examples: Earthquake, tornado, hurricane or other high wind

event

D. Security - Threats to personnel or the facility

2. What to Do When an Emergency Occurs on Your Jobsite.

A. Type “A” Emergencies "MEDICAL"

Notify supervisor immediately. Give your name, exact location, name of the
ill or injured person(s), a brief description of situation, symptoms, accident
and nature or type of injury/illness. Do not leave the injured unless you must
do so to notify the jobsite office, then return. Do not move the injured unless
he/she is in immediate danger of further injury.

The O&M field services supervisor or the Facility Manager must immediately
refer to Emergency Response Plan Procedures and Emergency Response
Form Type “A” Medical. (See attached.)

B. Type B Emergencies "HAZ-MAT" (Hazardous Material)

Notify supervisor immediately. Give your name, exact location and brief

2
 description of emergency and nature or type of leak or spill, injuries or other
contamination. Evaluate and determine if on site equipment is sufficient to
handle the emergency. If so, attempt use only if doing so presents no
exposure or risk to danger or contamination you and other involved
person(s).

The O&M field services supervisor or the Facility Manager must immediately
notify the BPWE Remote Operations Center (ROC) of the situation and then
refer to Emergency Response Plan Procedures and Emergency Response
Form Type B Hazardous Material. (Attached-page 9) and complete the
information.

C. Type C Emergencies "CATASTROPHE”

Notify O&M Services Building immediately. Give your name, exact location,
name of any injured person(s) and a brief description of emergency. It is
imperative that each employee is accounted for. All personnel should
know possible ways to exit the site and gather at The Emergency Staging
Area for headcount. (see posted map for Emergency Staging Area) The
Facility Manager or his designee will then notify the ROC and assess them of
the situation. The designated supervisor will perform a physical head count of
his entire crew to determine if any are missing or injured. This will be done at
The Emergency Staging Area located at the O&M Services Building. There
will not be any unannounced drills, so every situation must be treated
as real.

The O&M field services supervisor or the Facility Manager must immediately
refer to Emergency Response Plan Procedures and Emergency Response
Form Type C Catastrophic. (See attached.)

3. Additional Steps To Follow For All Type A, B or C Emergencies

A. All personnel will clear the radio for "Emergency Use Only" by calling "May-
Day, May Day, please clear the radio for emergency use".

B. Give exact location of emergency and brief description.

C. Following notification, the BP Facility Manager will either call “911” from the
site or call the BPWE ROC at (713) 354-2199 and have appropriate
emergency response dispatched to the site. The BP Facility Manager or the
O&M Field Services Manager will escort the response team to the injury site,
depending on which is available at the time of the emergency. NOTE: If the
BP Facility Manager elects to call “911” directly, he/she MUST call the
BPWE ROC to update them of the situation and notify them that he has
placed the call. He/she must periodically provide the ROC with key
updates as the emergency response progresses.

Facility/Site Name: Cape Vincent 3

 D. The site emergency response and rescue team will be dispatched to the
location where the decision will be made on what measures need to be taken.
In the event that there is an injured or ill person up tower, a decision must be
made on the best and safest means to get the person down the tower. Up
tower rescue will be the responsibility of the designated site rescue team.
Site personnel who are not actively involved in the rescue or medical
treatment should keep the route of access and the area of the injured person
clear so as not to hamper or delay response, remember time could be critical.

E. Whenever an up-tower rescue must be made, either assisted by the injured/ill

person or exclusively by the rescue team, utmost care must be taken to
insure 100% fall protection of the victim and of the rescuers.

F. If the best course of action is to immobilize the victim and lower him/her to the
ground, only those persons who have been trained to conduct this type of
rescue will be involved. The need to be calm and insure that all of necessary
precautions are taken cannot be overemphasized.

1. The employee coordinating the rescue will give other responders adequate
information to coordinate proper rescue procedures such as:

a. Will additional employees be needed for the rescue? Examples of this

need would be but are not limited to:

i. Incapacitated employee

ii. Hub rescue

iii. Ground assistance

b. Is there any additional rescue equipment needed?

2. If first aid can be given before the injured person is rescued from the tower,
the rescuer should provide first aid before rescue.

3. The supervisor or lead person will obtain all rescue equipment and take
measures to get it to the rescuer.

4. The rescuer will secure the automatic controlled descent device no less than
three (3) to four (4) feet above the injured person.

5. The rescuer will attach the automatic controlled descent device to the rescue
retrieval yoke and connect the two double locking snaps to the shoulder
retrieval rings on the victims full body harness OR to the center D-Ring of the
victim’s full body harness.

6. After attaching to the automatic controlled descent device, the rescuer will
raise the injured person high enough to remove them from their fall arrest

Facility/Site Name: Cape Vincent 4

 lanyard and any other devices that could interfere with lowering of the victim
to the ground.

7. Once these other devices are removed, the injured person can then be
lowered safely to the ground.

8. First aid should be administered to the injured person by a trained employee

until the local emergency medical team arrives.

G. Once the injured person is safely on the ground, he/she should be placed in
an area of protection until external medical personnel are prepared to
assume the care of the person. When the injured person(s) is removed by
the emergency response personnel, one person should be designated to go
with or follow the ambulance to the hospital. This individual must have a
cellular telephone with them to relay information to the Facility Manager upon
reaching the hospital.

H. After initial stabilization at the hospital has taken place, the emergency
department should be informed of the need to conduct a post incident drug
screen and blood alcohol test. This should only be done after the injured
person has been stabilized.

I. Nothing at the scene of the accident may be moved until completion of the
accident investigation. The investigation should include photographs, witness
statements, any pieces of evidence, etc. Refer to the Accident Investigation
Checklist found on page 8.

J. The Facility Manager will immediately notify the BP ROC in Houston by

calling 713 354-2199 after the ambulance personnel or helicopter personnel
have assumed care for the injured person. The Facility Manager will follow
the Near Miss Reporting and Management Plan.

4. Emergencies Other Than Those Requiring Immediate Hospitalization.

A. Injured person should be administered first aid and taken to the O&M
Services Building. When it is determined by the Field O&M Services
Representative or the Facility Manager that the injured person requires the
services of a doctor, the Request to Doctor and Request for Drug Testing will
be sent with a designated supervisor with the person to be examined. The
injured employee will always be accompanied to the doctor.

B. A report returned from the doctor's office will indicate if the injured employee
is able to return to work. In no case shall an injured employee return to
work without this clearance. The injured employee's supervisor should be
notified once the injured employee is released to return to work and if there
are any restrictions placed on the injured employee’s work activity.

Facility/Site Name: Cape Vincent 5

5. Security Threats

Security threats to the facility will be immediately communicated to the Facility

Manager. Based on the information or type of threat received, a response will be
initiated by the Facility Manager that may include any of the following:

¾ Cessation of all work activity and mustering of site personnel

¾ Notification of the BPWE Remote Operations Center
¾ Notification of local law enforcement agencies
¾ Notification and consultation with BP Group Security
¾ Notification of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
¾ Notification of Transmission Operator and Balancing Authority

A threat assessment will be conducted upon receipt of a threat, e.g. bomb threat or
other threat of hostility or aggression towards the facility or site personnel.

A. Sabotage
“The deliberate damaging or destroying of property or
equipment, e.g. by resistance fighters, enemy agents, or
disgruntled workers…”

In the event that sabotage is observed or detected on the system or observed or

detected through multi-site sabotage events that affect larger portions of the
RRO, the Facility Manager will immediately report the event to the BPWE
Remote Operations Center and then notify local law enforcement since this is a
criminal act.

B. Terrorism
“Violence, or the threat of violence, especially bombing,
kidnapping, and assassination, carried out for political
purposes…”

In the unlikely event of sabotage, either threatened or real, the Facility Manager
will immediately notify the BPWE ROC. The ROC will then notify the Asset
Manager who will confer with the BPWE Business Security Representative and
notify BP Group Security. If the threat is credible, the BP Asset Manager will call
the Federal Bureau of Investigation and BP Group Security will notify the BP Anti
Terrorist Branch-Counter Terrorism Section.

6. Other

A. Media / News Crews shall only be allowed on site if accompanied by the

owner’s representative. The Facility Manager has sole responsibility for
making this decision.

bag, airline flight bag, suitcase, attaché case, briefcase, etc. Look for
something that appears to be out of place. It is important that someone
familiar with the area search in order to note something, which is unusual or
alien to the surroundings. Anything that does not belong, or whose nature
and presence cannot be adequately explained, it is a suspicious object.

F. Suspicious Object Located:

When a suspicious object is located, it will not be touched, moved, or

disturbed in any way.

a) Get a good description of the object; size, color, markings without disturbing
the item
b) Get the exact location of the object; room and location within the room.

E. If evacuation is ordered, exit as instructed previously.

F. Upon leaving the area, proceed to the O&M Building (if unaffected) or the
external muster area and await instructions from the emergency personnel.

8. Cyber/Computer Threat

Cyber or computer threats will normally be detected by the BPWE Remote

Operations Center.

I. Tornado/Severe Weather Threat

A severe thunderstorm watch or warning and/or a tornado watch or warning will be

communicated to the Cape Vincent site by Data Transmission Networks/Meteorologics,
Inc. Notification will be made via the web-based application and emails, text messages
and/or pages will be sent to selected personnel at the site by the application.

The following are the notifications that will be communicated by the system--

50 miles- An “alert” message will be sent following observation/information of severe

weather that includes high winds, hail, lightning, etc. If crane activities are taking place
at this time, loads should be placed back on the ground, booms lowered or pawls
engaged and the boom turned downwind of the approaching front. Preparations should
begin to secure work areas and prepare to go to the O&M building for shelter.

30 miles- A “warning” message will be sent notifying selected personnel of severe

weather within 30 miles of the site indicating that all personnel should be coming down
tower and seeking shelter in the O&M building.

15 minute period of no lightning within 30 miles- An “all clear” message will be sent
notifying personnel that the severe weather threat has ended and no lightning has been
observed within 30 miles for 15 minutes.

In the event of direct observation of severe weather, such as a tornado, the person
observing the condition should utilize the site radio and call, “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday”
and notify all persons of the condition, location and direction of movement. If possible,
all personnel should move to the reinforced room in the O&M Services Building which
has been designed and built as a “safe haven” for a tornado. (See page 24-Fujita Scale)

Additionally, a weather alert radio that is dedicated to monitoring the National Weather
Service frequency for this area has been placed in the O&M Services Building. This

Facility/Site Name: Cape Vincent 22

 radio emits an alert tone that is activated by the National Weather Service whenever
information is received of severe weather. This will serve as an additional warning
method to personnel at the site.

If employees cannot reach the O&M Services Building, they should seek shelter at or
below grade elevation. If personnel are in towers, they should descend the tower and go
to the cellar level of the tower.
