Learning Objectives:
• Understand why Emergency Arrangements have to match the major incident scenarios present at a facility
• Recognise the need for effective decision making by key responders in a developing emergency situation
• Appreciate the need for routine practices and drills to test the emergency response arrangements
Key Points to cover:
• Purpose: To ensure that the plant and operations can be safely shut down when control or containment is lost. To ensure people and the environment are safeguarded in the event of an emergency. To support effective clean up and restoration following a major incident.
• Learning Points:
o Structured emergency plan in place
o Plan based on all foreseeable major accident / incident scenarios
o Roles and responsibilities for actions and decision making during an emergency clearly set out – command and response structure
o Emergency arrangements cover on-site and off-site effects / impact
o Relationship with external emergency services / responders clearly set out – who does what / when and what information exchange needed
o Means of raising alarm and safe routes of evacuation set out
o Emergency arrangements / actions set out in induction training
o Specification and maintenance of emergency equipment including siting and capacity eg cooling water, fire water mains and fire monitors
o Routine practices and drills undertaken, including periodic involvement of external emergency services
o Feedback and review following drills and practices
o Assessment occupied buildings and risks to occupants in an emergency. Safeguarding of essential control room personnel if required to facilitate safe shut down
o Effective secondary and tertiary containment in place to prevent off site risks
