Despite an organization's best efforts, the possibility of accidents and other emergency situations still exists. Effective preparation and response can reduce injuries, prevent or minimize environmental impacts, protect employees and neighbors, reduce asset losses and minimize downtime.
An effective emergency preparedness and response program should include provisions for:
Assessing the potential for accidents and emergencies
Preventing incidents and their associated environmental impacts
Plans / procedures for responding to incidents
Periodic testing of emergency plans / procedures
Mitigating impacts associated with these incidents
Consistent with the focus on continual improvement, it is important to review your emergency response performance after an incident has occurred. Use this review to determine if more training is needed or if emergency plans / procedures should be revised.
