3 1 Introduction This s identifies the hazards to the environment associated with the Linfox operated DuluxGroup Distribution Centre in Marsden Park NSW and its operations. It provides measures used to identify and reduce hazards and details the essential contact and communication mechanisms in the case of an incident. The PIRMP also details: procedures for notifying a pollution incident to relevant persons actions to be taken to reduce and/or control pollution procedures for co-ordinating those notified action taken in combating the pollution. The structure of the plan is in accordance with the requirements set out in part 5.7A of the POEO Act and the Protection of the Environment (General) Amendment (Pollution Incident Response s). A pollution incident is required to be notified if there is a risk of material harm to the environment, which is defined in section 147 of the POEO Act 1997: a) harm to the environment is material if: i) it involves actual or potential harm to the health or safety of human beings or to ecosystems that is not trivial, or ii) it results in actual or potential loss or property damage of an amount, or amounts in aggregate, exceeding $10,000 (or such other amount as is prescribed by the regulations), and b) loss includes the reasonable costs and expenses that would be incurred in taking all reasonable and practicable measures to prevent, mitigate or make good harm to the environment.

6 4 Risk Matrix This risk matrix is used to determine the likelihood and consequence of hazards and incidents. Resources and Industrials Page 6 of 15

7 5 Description and likelihood of hazards The hazard identification process must be carried out to identify the potential for harm to the environment associated with site activities. These activities must be those that the Linfox Australia can control and those it can influence, which are within the scope of the. All on-site and off-site operations must be considered when performing hazard identification, including those related to normal and abnormal operating conditions, maintenance, emergency situations, accidents and proposed projects including construction activities. 5.1 Site Hazards identified: Spills of customer product entering water ways through drainage system Loss of fuel or oil from trucks on site Wash from Fire services after an incident entering waterways through the drainage systems. 5.2 Hazards should be identified: During regular site audits Following incidents or near misses Before new work procedures or new materials are introduced to the site While site activities are being carried out For transport and distribution activities, prior to leaving site During carrying out site activities or processes During the planning phase of projects or construction activities The form in Appendix 1: Environmental Hazard Identification Form must be completed on identification of a hazard.
