Emergency Response Planning
| |
In the course of business operations, the emphasis should focus on Loss Prevention rather than Response to an Emergency Situation. |
Regardless of how well engineered, constructed and operated a particular site,
there is always a remote chance that something will go wrong. Being prepared
for such eventualities can make the difference between a minor incident with
limited and controlled consequences and a major disaster with loss of life,
widespread media attention, massive lawsuits, and public outrage.
|
Developing an Emergency Response Program covering all aspects of your operation ensures a timely, co-coordinated response to effectively protect the health response action. public, properly and the environment. It will assist in making sound decisions under highly stressful circumstances; ensuring
competence, and instilling confidence in response personnel.
Purpose and Scope of an Effective ERP Program

|
Ensure immediate, competent responses to and handling of an emergency situation;
Minimize danger to the public, employees and contractors;

Justification for Expenditure
We are sensitive to value and costs; we work hard to ensure that our products are not just for the ERP. Wherever possible, we strive to produce a product that will be useful in a variety of other applications within a client's organization.
Emergency Response Planning is an integral part of a Company's overall Safety Program, creating a culture of safely and an understanding of hazards; and acts as a catalyst for awareness and change.
Emergency Response Planning is an integral part of the Company's Insurance Program, minimizing damaging exposures to its workers, its facilities and the public at large from disasters that occur at or near Company facilities.
Emergency Response Planning is an integral part of the Company's Public Relations Program fostering confidence and responsible corporate citizenship with government, regulatory agencies, the public and in the business community.
Emergency Response Planning, through its Audit component, provides an ongoing assessment of daily operations, identifying hazardous products, unsafe facilities or operations and corrective actions. Doing so raises awareness and promotes remedial measures.
Emergency Response Planning, through its Mapping component, provides accurate facilities maps and as-builts for all Company operations. Accurate mapping is the platform linking various databases (Public Consultations, Pipeline Operating and Maintenance, integrity Programs, Materials Management, etc) together in a fully integrated Geographical Information System (GIS).
Cost control and Project Reporting
Prior to starting a project, we work with the client to develop a comprehensive project scope, cost estimate / budget. We then perform to that scope and costing.
We provide detailed, weekly project progress and cost reports (via fax or e-mail) to keep clients up to date and to ensure that (here arc no surprises along the way.

Emergency Response Plans are designed to facilitate a co-ordinated response by Company personnel to an emergency situationwhich may affect your Company or its affiliates. When properly implemented, these procedures will provide a timely response aimed at
protecting the public, workers, property and the environment.
Emergency Response Plan document is not intended to replace current reporting procedures for occurrences of a non-emergency nature.
Emergency Response Plan is designed to complement Company structures and procedures currently in place.
We are committed to quality and value. We encourage our clients to use the Emergency Response Planning process as an opportunity to be proactive in its approach to safety, loss prevention and operations management.
Key benefits of this approach is to improve efficiencies by integrating individual departments with a unified strategy; and to demonstrate good corporate citizenship to government, regulatory agencies, industry, its stakeholders and the public.

Simplicity
Emergency Response Plans are designed from an Implementors Perspective" with response data assembled in the same sequence as an emergency
would generally unfold.
A typical plan addresses the site-specific Issues of:
Responsibility of key Implementor
Safely Equipment Requirements
Isolating and Monitoring of the Emergency Hazard Area
Evacuation or Shelter Criteria and Procedures
Pro-Critical Meetings
We assist our clients through out the process, providing guidance and expertise at company on-site critical meetings.
Hazard & Risk Assessments The nature of the oil and gas industry involves a wide range of potential risks. Successful management of these risks can be achieved if (hey are proactively identified and systematically eliminated or reduced to acceptable levels.
Facilities that handle hazardous material must undertake a level of emergency planning that is commensurate with both on-site risks to their employees and off-site risks to their surrounding communities.
Our Risk Assessment Worksheet is a 20 page workbook which leads the client's Held staff through an analysis of their Held operations. The worksheet is an excellent workshop on the roles and responses in the Emergency Plans, and the process results in a comprehensive picture of each fields' risks and exposures.
After working through the Risk Assessment Worksheet staff
"get the whole picture" and through the process build the foundation for the Emergency Response Plan.
