1. Introduction

This Emergency Response Plan (ERP) has been prepared for Allied Pinnacle Australia Kingsgrove

facility located at 4 The Crescent, Kingsgrove New South Wales (NSW). The facility is engaged in the

manufacture of a wide range of food ingredients, namely grain-based baking supplies.

The purpose of this ERP is to develop and implement a system which is able to respond to any

foreseeable emergency, and that leads to the most effective outcome with minimal impact to health,

life, environment, and plant and equipment. It is a requirement that all those with emergency

management and/or response responsibilities as defined in this ERP have a copy of this Plan, and

receive the appropriate level of training needed to allow for an effective and integrated response to

potential incidents identified and addressed in this ERP.

The contents of this document are to be read by relevant staff and the all Allied Pinnacle personnel at

the Kingsgrove Site, contractors working within the site and, where applicable, by those contractors

delivering dangerous goods and other materials to the site shall be made aware of critical information

through induction and / or training.

Where any doubt exists about any aspect of safety or procedure, it is essential that you

consult with the Chief Fire Warden/Site Manager immediately.

1.1. Scope

This ERP is the lead document establishing the emergency preparedness and management

procedures for Allied Pinnacle operations at the Kingsgrove site. The site is physically bound by The

Crescent Kingsgrove to the west, Wolli Creek to the North and the adjacent stormwater drain along

the southern and eastern boundaries of site.

The Plan covers all operational activities (i.e. food manufacturing, chemicals storage/ transport and

ancillary operations) where physical works occur and areas that may be impacted by the works. It

clearly identifies accountabilities for implementation of control measures and actions, monitoring,

auditing/inspections and reporting.

This ERP covers procedures for the safety of all people, including those in the vicinity of the site who

may be at risk from operations at the site.

All Allied Pinnacle staff and sub-contractors are required to operate fully under the guidelines

contained in this ERP.


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE ii

1.2. Document Control

This is a controlled document. Soft copies are controlled and maintained on SAP database. Printed

copies are for reference only.

1.3. Authorisation

The Allied Pinnacle Kingsgrove Site Manager is responsible for the preparation, distribution and

update the Emergency Response Plan. While the Plan is distributed and executed under the authority

of the Site Manager, he/she does not actually prepare and distribute the Emergency Response Plan.

To maximise its effectiveness, the Allied Pinnacle General Manager shall encourage controlled

copyholders and all other interested parties to suggest potential improvements.

The Site Manager will arrange implementation of the emergency requirements. It will be the Site

Managers responsibility to monitor the emergency response elements (hardware and software) and to

update procedures through the Quality Management System for approval.

This document was prepared for the sole use of Allied Pinnacle (Kingsgrove) and the regulatory

agencies that are directly involved in this project. No other party should rely on the information

contained herein without the prior written consent of Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM) and Allied Pinnacle.

This ERP fulfils the requirements of the Hazardous Industry Planning Advisory Paper No. 1 (HIPAP

1): Emergency Planning (State of New South Wales, 2011), which calls upon the site to have an

emergency plan prepared in accordance with the regulations.

Section 12.2 gives details on review and updating this ERP.

2. Background

2.1. Conditions of Development Consent

The Conditions of Development Consent (CDC) (S01/00876) were issued by New South Wales

(NSW) Department of Planning (DoP) in 2001 as part of the Kingsgrove site upgrade and expansion

activities. These conditions specify a number of risk mitigation measures for implementation during

construction and operation of the site.

This ERP has been developed specifically to address the requirements of Condition 5.3 (a) of the

Development Consent. The requirements of Condition 5.3 (a) are:

Clause 5.3 No later than one month prior to the commencement of commissioning, or

within such period otherwise agreed with the Director-General, the Applicant shall prepare and

submit for approval of the Director-General the studies set out under (a) and (b) below.

Commissioning shall not commence until approval has been given by the Director-General.

A comprehensive Emergency Plan and detailed emergency procedures for the site, prepared by

a duly qualified person or team. This Plan should include detailed procedures for the safety of all

people in the vicinity of the site who may be at risk from operations at the site. The Plan shall be

in accordance with the Department’s Hazardous Industry Planning Advisory Paper No.1 –

Industry Emergency Planning Guidelines.

2.2. Guidelines Adopted in Preparation

To assist in formulating the ERP in an effective format, the following guidelines were referenced:

◼ Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources (DIPNR) Hazardous Industry

Planning Advisory Paper (HIPAP) No. 1 - Industry Emergency Planning Guidelines;

◼ Australian Standard 3745-2004: Planning for Emergencies in Facilities; and

◼ NSW Occupational Health and Safety Act 2003.

2.3. Definition of an Emergency

Allied Pinnacle has developed the following definition adopting the definition provided in The

Australian Standard (AS) 3745-2010: Planning for Emergencies in Facilities:

Emergency: An event that arises internally or from external sources, which may adversely

affect the environment, property, occupants or visitors in a facility and in the

surrounding areas, and which requires an immediate response.


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE iv

2.4. Levels of an Emergency

The three levels of emergency are defined as:

◼ LOCAL ALERT for any situation which threatens life, property or the environment at one location

on site, but may not spread to other areas on site

◼ SITE ALERT where effects may spread to other areas on the site

◼ EXTERNAL ALERT where effects may spread and impact on people, property or the

environment outside the site

Each of these three levels of emergency may be further classified as either of:

◼ MINOR EMERGENCY where the emergency can be handled entirely on site and no assistance is

required from the public emergency services

or

◼ MAJOR EMERGENCY where the situation requires the assistance of the public emergency

services, i.e. ambulance, fire brigade or police.

An External Alert is automatically a Major Emergency, as action cannot be taken outside the site

boundary independently of the public emergency services.


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE v

3. Aim and Objectives

3.1. Aim

The aim of the ERP is to prevent or minimise the impact of an incident or emergency and to facilitate

a return to normal operations in an expeditious and safe manner, by providing effective:

◼ Emergency Response

◼ Incident Management

◼ Training

◼ Revision and reviewing of the emergency procedures

3.2. Objectives

4. Hazards Identification

4.1. Facility Description

4.1.1. Site Location

The Allied Pinnacle site is located at 4 The Crescent, Kingsgrove in New South Wales. It is situated

approximately 12 kilometres (km) to the south west of the Sydney Central Business District, within the

Georges River Council Local Government Area. The property description is Lot 1, DP 200215. The

site occupies an area of 24,490 square metres (m2) and accommodates approximately 100

employees.

The Site is located within an industrial precinct on The Crescent, Kingsgrove and is bounded by:

◼ North – Beverly Grove Park

◼ Southwest – public road (The Crescent), then Goldwell

◼ Southeast – Sema Group and Vitamedical Supplies

◼ West : (Note that there are no neighbours directly to the west, this area is part of Beverly Grove

Park)

◼ East – McPherson’s Consumer Products and Ebos Group Pty Ltd

The M5 East Freeway runs north of Beverly Grove Park (refer to Figure 4-1).


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE vii

◼ Figure 4-1 Kingsgrove Site Location Map

4.1.2. Site Activities

Allied Pinnacle manufactures and distributes a range of food ingredients, in particular grain-based

baking supplies. The Site receives bulk deliveries of flour, oil and other ingredients and processes

these into finished products (approximately 80,000 tonnes per year) including:

◼ flours for items such as bread, pastry, cake, biscuit, noodle and culinary applications

◼ pre-mixes for bread, cake, donut and culinary applications

◼ other speciality flours and grain products

The processing equipment and storage of ingredients is entirely housed within existing buildings.

Activities outside the buildings are limited to solid waste recycling and storage and unloading of bulk

deliveries. The key areas of the facility are described in Table 4-1 and a site layout is provided in

Figure 4-2.


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE viii

◼ Table 4-1 Site Area Descriptions

Areas Description

Silos The flour silos are up to 15 m in height and are housed internally in the south-eastern area of the main building. The area is negatively pressured and both the silos and building contain vents for the controlled release of potential explosive energy.

Oil storage

This bunded area is housed internally and holds approximately five (5) edible oil tanks (total capacity of approximately 38 ML). Trucks delivering oil are required to be equipped with brake interlocks, which will only allow oil transfer from the truck when the brake is activated, thus helping to prevent accidental spills.

Bulk deliveries Bulk deliveries of flour products are received adjacent to the storage silos on the southern boundary of the site. Deliveries are typically made by an articulated flour tanker, and piped directly into the onsite flour silos using a blower housed inside the Allied Pinnacle building; as such the operation of truck mounted blowers is not required. The road at this location is marked as one direction, as bulk delivery trucks are required to enter through the southern gate (Gate B) and exit through the northern gate (Gate A).

Truck docks / driveway

The loading / unloading dock can accommodate two trucks at anytime, and an additional waiting bay, and is located adjacent to the LPG storage tanks in the north of the site. Oil deliveries are made at a point on the northern wall of the building, adjacent to the oil storage area. Trucks are required to enter through the northern access gate (Gate A) and reverse into the docks to load or unload, they then exit through the same northern gate. A forklift operates in this area; however this plant is not equipped with a reversing beeper.

Production floor The production area is a large open-space located in the eastern wing of the site. This area contains dry mixing machinery, blowers, conveyors and packaging equipment, in addition to other machinery.

Offices / kitchens and laboratories

The second floor of the building contains the office areas and test kitchen, whilst additional office space and a laboratory are located on the ground floor in the northeast of the building.

4.2. Hazard Identification

Allied Pinnacle has established a procedure for Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Control

Measures. This document defines a hazard as anything (including work practices or procedures) that

has the potential to harm the health and safety of a person or property.

The Procedure requires all employees and contractors to report any hazards immediately they have

been identified, using forms stored in the Hazard Reporting Database located Rapid Induct software

system.

The 3 major types of hazards identified on that site which could expected to initiate, or contribute to

an emergency could involve:

1) Hazards arising from the hazardous materials associated with the facility:

◼ Hazards arising from on-site hazardous materials

◼ Dangerous Goods

◼ Flammable and Combustible Liquids

2) The hazards arising from activities or equipment associated with the facility (e.g. cranes, plant,

machinery, transport, electrical):

◼ Edible Oil Storage / Transfer

◼ Fire and Explosion

◼ Dust Deflagration

◼ On-site Activities and Equipment-related Hazards


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE xi

4.2.1. Hazards arising from on-site hazardous materials

A number of hazardous and dangerous chemicals are stored and handled at the Kingsgrove site. As a

result, leaks of flammable and combustible liquids may occur as a result of damaged drums or drum

leaks. In addition, drum handling errors could lead to damage, resulting in flammable and combustible

liquids leaking into either the storage or delivery areas.

Spillage of any one of these materials has the potential to result in a serious impact to personnel on

and offsite or a significant impact to the environment. Hazardous and dangerous materials are stored

within the bunded area in the facility. Potential hazardous liquid substances are stored in bunded

areas.

Spillage would normally be contained within the bunded area. Spill cleanup is covered within site

procedures. Spill prevention is required under the NSW best practice guidelines for contamination

prevention (Ref.4).

4.2.1.1. Dangerous Goods

The Kingsgrove Site stores Classes 2.1, 2.2, 3.0, 8.0 dangerous goods (DGs) (Table 4-4) and is

licensed to store Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and carbon dioxide in bulk under Dangerous Goods

(Storage and Handling) Regulations 2000.

LPG is used on-site for refilling of fork lift vehicles only and takes no part in the process or oil heating

operations. The main LP Gas tank is supplied, filled and maintained by ELGAS to AS 1596 -2008:

The Storage and Handling of LP Gas. The LPG tank is located adjacent to the firewater tank near the

northern entrance gate.

Liquid carbon dioxide is used to cool products that contain vegetable oil, via a dedicated and insulated

feed-line. This is only required for batches that contain vegetable oils in the mix. Filling is controlled

using Allen Bradley PLC systems, and carbon dioxide detectors are located in the mixing room to

warn operators of leakage.

Table 4-5 and Table 4-6 form an up-to-date inventory listing of the quantities and classes of

dangerous goods shall be stored and handled at the Site. This list shall be updated and maintained as

required.

The location of dangerous goods storage and other hazards identified are illustrated in Figure 4-3.

◼ Figure 4-3 Dangerous Goods Location Map

4.2.1.2. Edible Oil Storage / Transfer

Vegetable or edible oils are generally used as pre-mixes for the food industry. Edible oils are stored in

six dedicated oil tanks of capacities ranging from 4 - 12 m3 (or 4,000 – 12,000 litres) located in a

bunded compound separated by panel walls from the remainder of the main building and strictly

controlled by a hot works permit system. A spill tank is provided under the transfer hose connection

point in case of spills.

All oils have a flash point above 280C and will become combustible at elevated temperatures. They

are generally needed to be heated prior to transfer, as they are too viscous to flow at room

temperature. Oil is fed via dedicated pipe work to the mixing room for addition to stirred vessels. In

general mixing is carried out at room temperature, well below the edible oil flashpoint. Hence all

mixing processes are inherently safe.


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE xix

4.2.2. Fire and Explosion

4.2.2.1. Flammable and Combustible Liquids

Flammable and combustible liquids are stored on site in dedicated storage areas. Leaks of flammable

and combustible liquids may occur as a result of damaged drums or drum leaks. In addition drum

handling errors could lead to dropped drums that, if damaged, could lead to flammable and

combustible liquids either in the storage or delivery areas. In the event of ignition of the flammable or

combustible liquids, a pool fire could result.

The range of flour, sugar and other dry raw materials delivered in bulk are combustible dusts. These

raw materials are unloaded from bulk pneumatic tankers directly into the storage silos. During the silo

filling operation, the air within the silos could potentially contain an explosive atmosphere and would

be considered a Zone 20 explosive atmosphere as defined in AS/NZS 60079.10.2:2011 – Explosive

atmospheres – Classification of areas – Combustible dust atmospheres.

These raw materials are further transferred into the processing plant and there will be other areas

where the potential for an explosive atmosphere to occur exists. The factory building on site contains

multiple levels that are open to each of these levels, which indicate that when a high deflagration

event occurs at one of the levels (e.g. malfunction of equipment leads to the formation of a dust

cloud), then all other levels would then become exposed to concentrations of combustible dust which

could potentially be ignited.

The Site is generally staffed for 24 hours a day throughout the year, with the exception of public

holidays. Occasionally staff attendance is reduced to 5-6 days/week during non-peak times.

Personnel will be on hand during this time to respond to fire incidents. Outside of these times, all DGs

will be secured and the ventilation system in the DG store, and natural ventilation in the warehouse

will limit the potential for flammable vapour build up, ignition and fire.

4.2.2.2. Dust Deflagration

Grains, flour and sugars are capable of producing combustible dusts during transfer and storage.

All solids are delivered by dedicated road tankers, via an air compressor unit (delivering dry air at no

more than 1 bar) to transfer product to the silos for storage. During the silo filling operation, the air

within the silos could potentially contain an explosive atmosphere and would be considered a Zone 20

explosive atmosphere as defined in AS/NZS 60079.10.2:2011 – Explosive atmospheres –

Classification of areas – Combustible dust atmospheres.

These raw materials are further transferred into the processing plant and there will be other areas

where the potential for an explosive atmosphere to occur exists. The factory building on site contains

multiple levels that are open to each of these levels, which indicate that when a high deflagration

event occurs at one of the levels (e.g. malfunction of equipment leads to the formation of a dust

cloud), then all other levels would then become exposed to concentrations of combustible dust which

could potentially be ignited. The existing plant has used appropriate Zone 20, Zone 21 and Zone 22

electrical equipment for these hazardous locations. Explosion release (vent) panels have been

designed into the dust collectors.


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE xx

The site has engaged an external consultant to inspect and compile a report on the hazardous zoning

areas on site. This report can be viewed in:

P:\Kgrv\Admin\Quality\QMS\REF(EXT)\KV-REF-07 Risk Management Deflagration Strategy Vers3-

2final.pdf

This report also contains site maps outlining the identified zones. The maps can also be found in:

P:\Kgrv\Admin\Quality\QMS\REF(EXT)\KV-REF-08 to 20

All loading, mixing and packaging operations are controlled by Allen Bradley PLC systems, with

overfill protection and explosion venting for silos and mixers provided.

All silos, solid mixers, and pressurised filling system are fitted with dust extraction and collection

systems. All grain and sugar filling operations are fitted with a Silo Overfill Protection system. High

level alarm systems and air pressure shut off are provided to reduce incidence of silo overfilling.

Dust explosion protection is provided through venting for all silos, and for areas above the silos.

A specific Deflagration (Explosion) Management Strategy has been prepared for the site,and is

included in Appendix A for reference.

4.2.3. On-site Activities and Equipment-related Hazards

4.2.3.1. Injuries and Illness

Personal injuries can occur as a result of work related accidents or from illness. A number of

hazardous and dangerous materials are stored on site. Spill and/or contact with these materials may

result in personal injury to staff involved with the handling of the materials.

4.2.3.2. Transport Incidents / Air Disaster

The site is a production warehouse, requiring constant deliveries and transport of raw materials and

manufactured products, transport vehicles are continually using the site and there is a potential for

collision between vehicles moving to the various facilities on the site. Whilst there are speed limits

placed on all vehicles on site, there is still a potential for incidents involving transport vehicles.

The site is located approx. 7.2Km from the main Sydney airport. The site is within the flight path of

planes and there is a low risk of the site being affected by a plane crash or incident.

4.2.4. External Hazards

4.2.4.1. Terrorism, Civil Disturbance, Vandalism or Intruder on Site

The potential for bomb threat or other type of terrorism threat exists at the site.

The site is located in an industrial area with a number of industrial and warehouse sites surrounding

the facility. The industrial/commercial site is located well clear of any potential areas where a large

crowd may gather (e.g. clubs, sport stadia, railway stations, etc.) resulting in a low likelihood for a civil

disturbance.

Notwithstanding the low potential for civil disturbance, there is a potential for vandalism and intruders

on site. Historically, there have been some small vandalism incidents involving unauthorised persons


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE xxi

entering the site. Security fence and gates have now been installed. Notwithstanding this, there is a

low potential for intrusion on site during normal operations where intruders climb over boundary

fences. The main hazard arises when staff approach unauthorised personnel, which may lead to

hazardous confrontation.

4.2.4.2. Natural Events (Floods/Earthquake)

There is potential for flooding on site due to the close proximity to Wolli Creek to the north and a

stormwater drain to the south, which may result in property damage and pollution of nearby

waterways. The site maintains a comprehensive stormwater management system, which is regularly

inspected which is designed to manage these events.

In the event of earthquake, there is a potential for wall/roof collapse. This may damage storage

containers resulting in flammable materials release. The bunded area in which these materials are

stored will retain spillage on site.

4.3. Hazard Analysis

In order to establish the system and procedure to manage an emergency, identified hazards needs to

be evaluated for its significance in terms of likelihood (probability) and severity of an incident occurring

as a result of the hazard. The level of significance will determine the priority assigned to its elimination

or minimisation (i.e. the need for an emergency response procedure).

Following factors needs to be taken into account when assessing hazards:

◼ Frequency of exposures to a hazard

◼ Location of a hazard

◼ Skills, experience, training and physical capabilities of the individual or groups

◼ Severity of possible consequences


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE xxii

5. Types and Levels of Emergencies

5.1. Types of Emergency

Following situations are covered in this Plan:

1) Fire and Explosion (incl. dust deflagration);

2) Loss of Containment (spill, leaks);

3) Medical (suffocation, skin damage by chemicals, inquiries etc);

4) Transport Incident (e.g. motor vehicle accident, plane disaster);

5) Subversive activities (e.g. bomb threat, vandalism, sabotage and intruders); and

6) Natural events (e.g. flood, storm).

5.2. Levels of Emergency

The three levels of emergency are defined as:

Local Alert For any situation which threatens life, property or the environment at one location on site, but may not spread to other areas on site.

Site Alert Where effects may spread to other areas on the site

External Alert Where effects may spread and impact on people, property or the environment outside the site

Each of these three levels of emergency may be further classified as:

Minor Emergency Where the emergency can be handled entirely on site and no assistance is required from the public emergency services

Major Emergency Where the situation requires the assistance of the public emergency services, i.e. ambulance, fire brigade or police

An External Alert is automatically a Major Emergency, as action cannot be taken outside the site

boundary independently of the public emergency services.

It is the Chief Warden’s responsibility to co-ordinate first attack response to emergencies.

The Chief Warden will direct the Section Wardens to assist in the following emergency response

areas:

Damage Control Fire fighting on a scale requiring a fire hose will be the responsibility of the NSW Fire Brigades.

The site is fitted with hose reels and extinguishers, this equipment will be used in first attack fire fighting by Allied Pinnacle personnel. This will aid in controlling the growth of incidents allowing the CA to provide more effective emergency response on their arrival. Selected site staff will be trained in first attack fire fighting.

Evacuation

Evacuation will be controlled by the Chief Warden. He/She will direct staff to evacuate the site should the emergency grow beyond manageable proportions. Site Wardens will be delegated to facilitate the evacuation and ensure all staff has left the area to be evacuated. This staff member will report to the Chief Warden when evacuation has been completed.

To aid in facilitating evacuation an employee checklist will be used to mark names and ensure all employees working in the affected area have been safely evacuated.

Traffic Control

A traffic control officer will be nominated by the Chief Warden. It will be this person’s task to ensure the free flow of traffic in the areas immediately off-site. The task will also involve the removal of any vehicle that may obstruct the free flow of CA in and out of the site.

6.2.2. Emergency Management Team

In the event of an emergency, an Emergency Management Team (EMT) will be assembled. It is the

responsibility of the Site Manager to identify the need for an EMT and to initiate its establishment.

Emergency Management Team may consist of site personnel only or in the case of a significant event

a team including the corporate senior management shall be assembled. Typically, the EMT in the

event of a significant emergency will include:

include:

◼ A description of the nature of the emergency

◼ The corrective action taken, and its effectiveness

◼ When the emergency is expected to be over

◼ The investigative action that is to be taken

◼ Any assistance that can be given by the media

Only facts should be stated. Statements as to the cause and effects of the emergency should be

avoided until a thorough investigation has been conducted.

6.2.4. Section Wardens

It is Allied Mills policy that combating emergencies is the responsibility of the CA. However initial

response to an emergency will be provided by Section Wardens on site who have the appropriate

training to operate the first attack fire fighting equipment. The Section Wardens will operate under the

direct control of the Chief Warden.

6.2.5. First Aid Attendant

Selected site staff will be trained in first aid. It will be their task to render assistance in removing any

injured staff from the emergency area and to provide effective management of injuries until the CA

(ambulance) arrives.

6.2.6. Restoration Team

A restoration team will be established by the Site Manager (or delegate) to re-establish site operations

(based on the scale of the incident). The restoration team shall be responsible for establishing a

recovery plan and all further actions required until the resumption of business operations. The

restoration team will be headed by the Site Manager.

8. Activation of Plan

8.1. Principles of Emergency Response

The principles of response will be based on prevention, containment, rescue and first aid. These

have been summarised below:

Prevention ▪ Maintenance and testing of all detection and protection equipment on a regular basis

▪ Inspection of all plant and storage facilities on a regular basis ▪ Regular emergency response drills to ensure site readiness

Containment ▪ Switch off any operating equipment ▪ Isolate electrical supplies at the main switchboard ▪ Take any operating equipment (e.g. forklifts) outside the warehouse ▪ Close storm water shut off valves ▪ Co-ordinate with Chief Warden

Rescue ▪ Trained personnel only ▪ Approved and trained rescue crews only to respond

First Aid ▪ First aid is to be given only by trained first aid officers

8.2. Alarm Initiation

Any person discovering an emergency situation or a situation, which is likely to give rise to an

emergency, shall:

◼ Consider if they are able to control the situation alone

◼ Control it (only if safe to do so)

◼ Alarm - raise the alarm by contacting the Chief Warden who shall decide on the level of alert and

details of the emergency.

◼ Rescue - assist or alert persons in immediate danger.

If in doubt, the alarm shall be activated first and then the doubt will be clarified.

8.3. Notification of Incident

8.3.1. Emergency Service

In the event of an incident, the following procedure is to be instigated:

1) Raise vocal alarm and make sure it is acted upon and/or phone 0-000.

2) If the alarm did not activate a call to emergency services automatically, 0-000 (or 112 from mobile

phones) must be called if the Fire Brigade, Police or an Ambulance are required.

3) Advise to the Operator:

◼ Location of the emergency Location of the emergency (street number and name, suburb,

The nearest intersection);

◼ Type of emergency (e.g. fire, explosion);

ERP – 01: FIRE AND EXPLOSIONS

1.0 GENERAL

It is imperative that for all fires and explosions the alarm is raised as early as possible.

Any alarm given for a minor fire (e.g. a small fire in a rubbish bin in a non-hazardous area and not in

danger of spreading) extinguished by the person on the spot should be “cancelled” and the Fire

Brigade immediately notified, whilst the Brigade will still attend the site, to ensure there will be no re-

ignition, there will be less urgency on the Brigades behalf.

In any fire situation, the first minutes are most critical and the initial decision to fight or to report can

only be based on the estimate by the individual of his/her capacity to extinguish the fire with what

equipment he/she has immediately to hand.

All explosions should be carefully assessed to determine whether they should be treated as a serious

and major incident. Where small explosions occur (i.e. localised and small, etc.), it may be possible to

respond and rectify the problem with on site resources. However in the event that a major explosion

occurs and significant damage results, external assistance will be required. The Chief Fire Warden

must be contacted in the event of any explosion. He/she will decide on the appropriate action.

Allied Pinnacle Kingsgrove staff are expected to be familiar with and be prepared to carry out the

following procedures.

IF IN DOUBT - SUMMON ASSISTANCE.

2.0 PROCEDURES

2.1 FIRE

All Employees

1) Warn personnel close by or those who may be in immediate danger.

2) Activate the nearest fire alarm

3) If the nearby alarm cannot be activated, immediately notify the Chief Warden. If the Chief Warden

cannot be located, notify his/her deputy and send someone to the reception area to advise of the

emergency and its location.

4) Stop loading or unloading operations. If possible, move vehicles to a safe area. Assemble at the

emergency evacuation assembly point depending on whether the incident affects the primary

assembly area.

5) If directed by Chief Warden, all personnel shall:

◼ Follow the instruction of Section Wardens

◼ Vacate the building or the fire location and go to the designated Evacuation Assembly Point

(see Section 1) ) if instructed so.

◼ Remain outside until the competent authority (Designated Official or designee) announces

that it is safe to re-enter.

6) Ensure free access to roadway for vehicles leaving the site. Prevent entry of vehicles other than

Fire Brigade, Ambulance etc


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE xxxiv

7) Operators, Section Wardens, Production Managers, Area Supervisors may fight fire with

correct extinguishers (refer to Section 7.2.3) ONLY if:

◼ The Fire Department has been notified

◼ The fire is small and is not spreading to other areas.

◼ Escaping the area is possible by backing up the nearest exit

◼ Received appropriate training to use extinguishers.

◼ Doing so does not jeopardize his/her safety.

Use fire extinguishers or hose reels as required. Take care to select the correct fire fighting medium

based on the fire type (i.e. care must be taken with electrical fires and water).

Chief Warden

1) Notify the Fire Brigade (0-000) if the alarm failed and automatic notification has not been made to

the emergency department.

2) Take charge of the emergency until the Fire Brigade arrives, then provide support to local

authorities. Take a mobile phone, if available.

3) When a fire alarm goes off or being notified about the fire emergency, Chief Warden will:

◼ Decides if part or total evacuations are required. The Chief Warden will direct Section

Wardens to commence evacuation if required.

◼ Advise operators to shut down plant or machinery if necessary.

◼ Advise electrician to shut off power if necessary. If no electrician available, Production

Managers, Area Supervisor (if safe to do so) shuts down power supplies.

4) Direct Section Wardens to ensure clear access for Fire Brigade (i.e. remove trucks off site).

5) Advise Fire Brigade of situation and be prepared to assist.

Section Wardens

1) Check designated areas if Chief Warden instructed to do so

2) Secure records and print evacuation list from Rapid Induct Sign in system.

3) Check their areas and ensure everyone has been evacuated.

4) Perform a roll call at the assembly point.

5) Attempt to rescue personnel casualties if involved in fire area only where a rescue can be

accomplished without undue risk to the rescuer.

NOTE: Under no circumstances are employees to place themselves or anyone else at risk.

2.2 EXPLOSION

All Employees

1) Respond and evacuate as per Procedure 2.1 (ERP-01).

Chief Warden


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE xxxv

1) Notify the Fire Brigade if appropriate.

2) Prior to the emergency service arriving the site, the Chief Warden or his/her deputy will complete

a head count on all employees, subcontractors and visitors.

◼ If all have been accounted for, Chief Warden will instruct the Emergency Management Team

to inspect area (only if safe to do so) for structural & environmental damage and carry out

appropriate action.

◼ If all have not been accounted for, Chief Warden will instruct the Emergency Team to carry

out a search & rescue (only if safe to do so).

3) Ensure clear access for Fire Brigade (i.e. remove trucks off site).

4) Advise Fire Brigade of situation and be prepared to assist.

2.3 DUST DEFLAGRATION

1) Use dust suppression for a sufficient period of time to suppress the dust (such as the use of a

sprinkler system, fogging units or similar), mitigating the exposure of dust clouds to other ignition

sources such as sources that are located external to the factory building.

2) Follow the procedures in Procedure 2.2 (ERP-01).

ERP – 02: LOSS OF CONTAINMENT (SPILLS AND LEAKS)

ERP-02.1 SPILLS/LEAKS ON SITE

1.0 GENERAL

Spills within the site are generally preventable and would only occur if a container, pipe, valve or bund

failed or if equipment in the factory failed.

Whilst theoretically possible, the risk of truck turn over on site (i.e. within the site roads) would be

negligible as there is a strict speed limit on site.

In the event of spill, the following procedure should be followed.

In the event of spill follow Procedure 2.0 below, note there are procedures for minor spills

(Procedure 5 – Minor Chemical Spills) and major spills (Procedure 6 – Major Chemical Spills).

In the event of a gas Leak – LP Gas – follow Procedure 7.

In the event of a gas Leak – Carbox Dioxide - outdoors – follow Procedure 8.

In the event of a gas Leak – Carbox Dioxide - indoors – follow Procedure 9.

2.2 BURNS

There are three levels of burns:

◼ Level 1(Superficial): reddening (like sunburn) - outer layer of skin only

◼ Level 2 (Partial thickness): blistering - damage to deeper layers of skin

◼ Level 3 (Full thickness): whitish or blackened areas - damage to layers of skin plus underlying

structures & tissues. Fast action is essential.

Note: Burns to the face may have an effect on the casualty's breathing & these effects may

take some time to appear. It is important that any casualty who has inhaled smoke, fumes or

superheated air or has been burnt on the face obtains medical aid as soon as possible after

the incident.

First Aid Attendant

Follow the following notes when providing first aid treatment for burnt casualties:

◼ Ensure that contaminated clothing is removed unless it is adhering to the burn

◼ Thermal or Radiation Burns :

– Cool only with clean water if possible & resist using other substances up to 20 minutes for

thermal or radiation burns. Ensure the cooling process does not become excessive & cause

shivering

◼ Thermal or Radiation Burns :

– Flush chemicals from the skin, pay attention to the eyes, follow Material Safety Data Sheet

– Cool only with clean water if possible & resist using other substances up to 20 - 30 minutes

for chemical burn. Ensure the cooling process does not become excessive & cause shivering

◼ Cover with a clean no adherent burn dressing ( or plastic wrap)

◼ Remove tight clothing & objects e.g. jewellery ( if possible)

◼ Treat for shock if burn is severe

DO NOT BREAK BLISTERS

2.3 COLD BURNS OR FROSTBITE

Follow the following notes when providing first aid treatment for cold burns or frostbite casualties:

◼ Remove any clothing that may constrict circulation in the frozen area affected.

◼ Immediately place the frozen affected area in a circulating warm water bath ( shower, or bath)

with a temperature not exceeding 46 deg C. ( hotter water could cause a heat burn to the already

damaged tissue )

◼ Never use dry heat. This will cause a heat burn to the already damaged tissue

◼ Continue thawing the frozen tissue, keeping the affected part immersed intil the skin turns from a

pale blue to pink or red. Thawing may take 15 – 60 minutes. When thawed, the tissue becomes

painful, swollen, and prone to infection.

◼ If the frozen tissue thaws before medical persons arrive, cover with a dry sterile dressings and a

large, bulky protective covering.


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE xlv

◼ Note: Ensure the injured person avoids alcohol or smoking – as either decrease blood flow to

frozen tissue.

2.4 INHALATION EXPOSURE

◼ Move the injured person to fresh air ( if without risk ).

◼ If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration

◼ If breathing is difficult, a qualified first aider / medically qualified person may give oxygen.

ERP – 04: FALL FROM HEIGHT RESCUE

Several control measures are available to protect persons from the risk of falling from a height when carrying out work at that height. In some circumstances, more than 1 control measure may be necessary. The 3 levels of control measures in order of preference are: 1. Erecting a physical barrier 2. Providing personal fall protection 3. Measures to "catch" a person after the person has fallen

A fall arrest system is a system designed to arrest the fall of a person, it consists of a:

• Fall arrest harness connected to a lanyard assembly & attached to a fall arrest static line or an anchorage point where there is a risk of free fall.

• Ladder belt connected to a lanyard of not more than 300mm in length attached to a ladder fall arrest device where there is risk of free fall of not more than 600mm.

If a Fall Occurs

• The person assisting shall contact the Maintenance manager, site manager or call 0-000.

• Make initiate verbal contact with the fall victim as soon as possible to assess consciousness, and to reassure and ask whether the fallen person can “self rescue” providing appropriate equipment is made available to them.

• Call emergency services immediately.

• Time is critical if suspended in a harness. If possible use scissor lift to access the person and take weight off the body from the harness.

• Decide whether “self rescue” is possible considering other factors and assist where possible to remove e.g. are the equipment visibly damaged, entanglement, unconscious, etc.

• Brief the emergency services on arrival of how long the fall victim has been suspended.


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE xlvii

ERP – 05: BOMB THREAT

1.0 GENERAL

Bomb threats, and other similar types of threats, may arise from a number of causes.

They may simply be made for harassment purposes, as a diversion, or as a prank.

Alternatively, they may be a part of an extortion attempt (with or without an actual explosive device),

part of the operations of a terrorist group, or an individual’s malicious attempt to inflict injury or

damage.

Threats of this nature are usually made:

1) By telephone to a location

or

2) By telephone through the local police, who may have received the message direct, or who may

be repeating a communication to the press, radio, television or authorities

or

3) by anonymous letter

The threat may be specific or non-specific. In a specific threat the caller is prepared to give detailed

information about the bomb; why it has been placed, when it will explode etc. Non-specific threats are

more common, and typically consist of the caller simply stating a bomb has been placed and hanging

up.

There is no standard response to a bomb threat which will give the best (safest) result in every

situation. Each threat has to be individually evaluated. General principles of bomb threat response

are:

1) To ensure maximum safety of personnel.

2) To protect Company property.

3) To minimise interference with normal production, business etc.

4) To enable an early appreciation of the situation to be made and to arrive at the correct decisions

without anxiety and confusion.


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE xlviii

2.0 PROCEDURE

2.1 INITIAL RESPONES

2.1.1. Mail Threat

Staff Receiving Threats

5) Threats by mail or other published media, should be passed immediately to the supervisor and

then to the Chief Warden.

6) Do not talk to anybody else and follow his/her instruction.

Chief Warden

1) Letters received containing information on the alleged placing of a bomb should be handed to the

police for any action they consider desirable.

2) They should be handled as little as possible and by a minimum number of persons.

2.1.2 Phone Threats

Staff Receiving Phone Threats

1) Remain calm (or appear to be) and listen carefully. Do not hang up; let the caller finish message.

2) Obtain information and record on the nearest paper; wording is a priority. Keep answers to one

or two words.

3) Request the name of the person

4) Listen to background noises and voice mannerisms.

5) Do not hang up even when caller hangs up. Some call tracing may be possible, even if one of

the parties have already hung up. The police will action this if appropriate.

6) When caller hangs up, complete Threat Check Sheet (provided in Figure ERP-04-1). In

assessing the threat, consider:

◼ How did the threat sound? Was the caller familiar with the premises? Were they familiar with

the nature and location of the alleged explosive device?

◼ Was the tone of the call consistent with a genuine threat?

7) Inform Site Manager, Production Manager, Area Supervisor, or his/her Deputy immediately after

the caller has terminated conversation.

8) Do not talk to anybody else and follow his/her instruction.

9) Await interview by Chief Warden.

Copies of the Threat Call Sheet should be readily available to reception operator and other

persons likely to receive such calls.

Production Manager or Area Supervisor 1) Notify Chief Warden upon the recipient of the treat.

2) Notify all areas by alarm or verbal if emergency evacuation is required and instructed to do so by

Chief Warden.

3) Conduct orderly shutdown of main operating plants if time allows.


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE xlix

4) On instruction to evacuate, instruct the nominated area of all personnel not required for the safe

running of the facility, to the safe area. Those remaining shall bring the facility to a safe condition

and then immediately evacuate to the safe area.

5) Ensure to leave all windows and doors open as you leave to reduce damage if bomb

explodes.

6) Carry out roll call at the safe area.

7) After evacuation, inform Management of actions.

2.2 CONSULTATION PROCEDURES

Chief Warden

1) Assess the threat carefully to decide what action should be immediately taken in response to the

threat, considering:

◼ Was the call related to a current bomb threat climate? (Company pursuing a controversial

policy, significant visitors on site, recent sacking etc)

◼ How much time you have. When is the device set to go off?

◼ What options do you have open to you? Is a specific area under threat, or the whole site?

What is the best way of safely and quickly conducting a search?

◼ What is the safest place for people on the site; where they are, in standard evacuation areas,

or in some other area? Are your actions likely to encourage other threats?

2) Notify police of details as soon as possible, ask them for their recommendation for immediate

action, and ask them to attend site to assess further required actions with management input.

3) On Police advice, take action to safeguard personnel (i.e. possible evacuation).

4) Consult with the site management and provide advice to the Police on site-specific issues.

5) In consultation with the Police, advise neighbouring properties of the situation, if required.

Section Wardens

ERP – 06: COLLISION OF ROAD VEHICLES OR PLANE CRASH EMERGENCY

1.0 GENERAL

Most vehicles on site are trucks coming on site to load or unload product.

It is unlikely that a serious accident involving a transport vehicle or plane crash will occur in the

immediate vicinity of the factory (i.e. onsite). However, a minor collision resulting in product spillage

and fire may occur on the local roads around the factory building. Notwithstanding the nature of the

incident, the immediate objectives after a vehicle incident are to:

◼ Protect life and property

◼ Control and prevent any spillage from spreading

◼ Extinguish any fire if safe and possible

◼ Remove ignition source (to prevent any fuel spills from igniting)

◼ Prevent spilt product from entering drains

◼ Contain spilt product for subsequent removal

◼ Prevent or minimise further spillage

If there is a serious accident or major plane crash, call the emergency services (Police, Fire Brigade,

etc.) allow the Emergency Service Commander to assume traffic control on their arrival. Make all

efforts to stop or divert approaching vehicles, depending on the risk and circumstances. Warn people

to remain at a safe distance, taking into consideration the type and likely flow of liquid and vapour

(e.g. Fuel, acid, liquefied gas) and prevailing climatic conditions. Vehicle safety triangles are to be

used where available.

2.0 PROCEDURE

2.1 INJURIES

1) Check for any injured people and follow the Medical Emergency procedures in this document

2) For plane crash, emergency services would take control of full emergency.

3) Site to evacuate as commanded by wardens and emergency services and advise of any people

unaccounted for.

4) No one from Allied Pinnacle to approach or discuss with media. A communications office will be

appointed to communicate with media and emergency services as required.

5) If required, notify neighbouring properties

6) If fuel is leaking, use the emergency spill kit located at the despatch dock to contain the fuel.

2.2 PROTECTING WATERCOURSE

Make every effort to prevent spilt product from entering drain or watercourses depending on the

extent of the emergency (ie protecting the watercourse following a large scale plane crash would not

be a priority over protecting life and securing the emergency)

The priority actions are:

1) Contain


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE liv

2) Minimise spread of the product and preventing water usage, particularly in toxic or bioactive

chemical spills

3) Shut off the stormwater valves.

Prevent hosing down, but the senior fire officer must use his discretion. The senior fire officer’s prime

concern is for public safety, so he must evaluate the potential risks involved in alternative courses of

action. If flammable of combustible liquid is spilled and cannot be prevented from entering drains,

foam can be applied to minimise flammable vapour generation.

Block inlets to drains by using drain covers, dirt, sand, paper, rags, old clothing or similar material.

2.3 INCIDENT LOCATION RESTORATION

After an accident any contamination of the incident location is to be restored as soon as possible.

◼ If a good damage to the road surface, surroundings or drainage systems is made, co-operate

with the local authorities. Clean the road surface of spilled materials or oil to prevent subsequent

accidents from vehicles skidding or sliding on the chemical residue or oil. Notify public utilities,

such as Telecom, electricity supply authority, water board, etc if their property has been damaged

so that they can affect the necessary repairs (e.g. spillage has entered Telstra cable tunnels).

Similarly damage to any signs, notices or hoardings should be made good or those responsible

for them notified of the need for repair.

◼ Assure owners of damaged private property such as houses, fences, gardens, motor cars, boats,

etc that their claims for compensation or repair will be promptly and sympathetically handled but

no acknowledgment of liability should be made. Any employees on the scene should ensure that

the company does, in fact, take appropriate follow-up action promptly.

If land has been polluted by chemicals, flammable/combustible liquids or vehicle oil, it may be

necessary to remove soil and replace it with fresh material to restore the area to its original condition.

Consult FGI Management and any haulage contractor for advice.

2.4 FIRE FIGHTING

If a fire has started (e.g. as a result of ignition of combustible/ flammable materials), extinguish it (if

safe and practicable) using the portable extinguishers (dry powder) from the vehicle or site. Try to limit

the use of water until drains have been effectively covered and spill control is in place. See Procedure

ERP-01.


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE lv

ERP – 07 INTRUDERS ON SITE

1.0 GENERAL

Allied Pinnacle products may be attractive items and can draw particular attention from certain

elements of the community. Entrance to the site is controlled through remotely operated, locked

gates, however there may be times when intruders could access the site via unmonitored fences. Site

staff should be on the lookout for any suspicious activity by persons or vehicles near the entrances to

the warehouse (both north and south). Note the description and registration number of suspicious

vehicles and/ or persons. Inform the site management personnel and police immediately. Action can

then be taken before a crime is committed.

It is unlikely that civil disorders (like large sporting crowds) will occur due to the reasonably remote

location from residential, sporting or commercial (shops) outlets. Notwithstanding this, disruptive

crowds can cause severe damage and major disruption to business operations, both directly to the

facility and to the infrastructure immediately surrounding the site. It is therefore essential that the site

emergency response contains procedures for coping with civil disturbance.

Examples of civil disturbance include:

◼ Industrial disputes

◼ Unpopular political decisions

◼ Emotional international situations

◼ Demonstrations and marches that get out of control

◼ Clashes of opposing groups (e.g. gangs) that spill over into the site

2.0 PROCEDRUE

The objective of this procedure is to minimise the contact between site staff and intruders and to

ensure the appropriate security forces apprehend the intruders with the minimum impact on the site.

2.1 ARMED HOLD-UP

Staff Involved Directly in the Incident

During an armed hold-up, CO-OPERATION is more important than intervention.

REMEMBER: No amount of money is worth a human life. DON’T BE HEROIC!!!

1) Try to remain calm, control your emotions and avoid any action which may incite violence

2) Obey the intruder’s instructions, do precisely as they say, and nothing more

3) Tell the intruders what you are doing, make no sudden movements

4) Observe as much as possible as to the description of the intruders, including clothing and other

distinguishing features (i.e. voice, accent, movements. Do not stare at the intruders.

5) Do not touch anything which may be handled by the intruders

After the Armed Hold-up, as soon as it is safe to do so…

6) Call for assistance or activate an alarm – Notify the Chief Warden of the incident

7) Give details to the Chief Warden of the incident


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE lvi

Chief Warden

1) Telephone Police and say “Allied Pinnacle, at 4 The Crescent, Kingsgrove has been held up”

2) Give your name, telephone number, exact location of the incident, and description of any

person(s) and vehicle(s) involved

3) State clearly if the person(s) were armed and the type of weapon

4) Close the premises completely and do not allow unauthorised people to enter

5) Do not allow any person into the area accessed by the intruders and do not let any personnel

handle objects touched by the intruders

6) Ask any employee witnesses to remain until interviewed by Police or if they insist on leaving ask

for their permission for Police to interview them either at home or a later date

7) Do not discuss with any persons outside the business the goods or valuable stolen

8) Ensure staff or witnesses are provided with any trauma counselling if required

2.2 IDENTIFICATION OF INTRUDERS ON SITE

Where intruders are identified on site, being identification of an armed hold up in progress,

identification of an unfamiliar person wandering around the site (i.e. person who have not signed in at

reception), or identification of vandals, the following procedure should be followed:

All Personnel

1) Immediately notify reception and ascertain whether the possible intruder is a visitor or is

authorised on site, if this cannot be verified, notify the Chief Warden or Section Wardens (who will

locate and notify the Chief Warden)

Chief Warden 1) The Chief Warden will decide on the action to be taken, however it is not recommended that the

intruder(s) be approached, the recommended action is to immediately notify SMP security and

then the Police (0 - 000)

2) Lock all entry and exit gates

3) Attempt to keep intruders in view from a safe distance

4) Write down description of intruders (use the personal description form ERP-06.1)

Note: Do not at any time attempt to confront or arrest intruders. This is not your job!

2.3 CIVIL DISORDER

The procedure below is designed to minimise the danger to personnel and the risk of damage to

assets.

All Personnel

1) Notify the Chief Warden or a Section Warden (who will locate and notify the Chief Warden) as

soon as you notice a civil disorder occurring or about to occur:

◼ on or in the vicinity of the site

or

◼ of unauthorised entry to the site by a disaffected person or group


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE lvii

Chief Warden

Whenever a scheduled mock evacuation occurs, the Chief Warden or designated person must notify the fire control company to ensure the fire department do not attend the site. The contact details are 1300 360 575 and quote ASE - 46400. This will put the system into trial mode.

Following an evacuation a review will occur. The following should be evaluated:

◼ Appropriateness of alarm

◼ If the alarm was heard by everyone

◼ Time took for completing roll calls

◼ How was the communication process

◼ If fire doors were closed

◼ If gates were opened

◼ If everyone was accounted at evacuation point

◼ If personnel protection equipments were used

◼ Role of fire wardens


10000348 Emergency Response Plan Version 9, Effective: 17.09.2019 PAGE lxviii

◼ Time took for completing the drill

A corrective action may be raised following mock evacuation if there were any issues. The issues will be tracked and addressed through the incident investigation system.

The ERP shall be evaluated by simulated emergencies. The simulated emergencies and drills involving all emergency functions and all employees shall be performed annually.

12.2. Review and Revision

A review of ERP will be conducted within the required time frame identified by the potential severity

matrix of an emergency in relation to the effectiveness of the ERP. Areas of ineffectiveness or

inefficiency will be noted and the ERP modified to reflect the required actions. The modifications will

be tested during subsequent drills.

In addition to review and revision arising from real emergency situations and training exercises, the

ERP shall be subjected to a periodical review. This review shall be carried out annually to ensure that

the Plan is up-to-date, effective and in line with changing community standards.

The amendments to the Plan shall be made by, or under the authority of the Allied Pinnacle

Kingsgrove Site Manager, and approved by the Site Manager as appropriate.

The ERP shall be audited annually by Site Manager, or his/her representative.

12.3. Document Control

This ERP was prepared for the sole use of Allied Pinnacle Australia Pty Ltd (Kingsgrove) and the

regulatory agencies that are directly involved. No other party should rely on the information contained

herein without the prior, written consent of Allied Pinnacle Australia.

is distributed and executed. To maximise its usefulness, the Allied Pinnacle Kingsgrove Site Manager

encourages controlled copyholders and all other interested parties to suggest potential improvements.
