Emergency Response Planning

Many activities taking place at hydrocarbon facilities are of a hazardous nature which may impact human life, assets and the environment in the event of upset conditions occurring. Consequently, the facility and other parties must be prepared for any emergency situation arising at any of its facilities and thereby restrict the consequential losses that can be incurred.

Emergency Response (ER) Management is identified as a core Health and Safety (HSE) process, within the HSE Management System. The ER programme shall inter-relate with other core HSE processes, such as Hazard and Effects Management Process (HEMP) and Incident Investigation and Reporting (IIR) Process Framework.
