Emergency
Response Programs
Most facilities have Emergency Response Programs (ERP)
in place, although they may not be up-to-date. For example, they may not
address accident scenarios identified by process hazard analyses.
Services Offered
Pri matech can develop a
comprehensive ERP, or assist companies in improving existing ERPs.
ERPs
developed by Primatech address:
-
On-site and off-site
notification procedures;
-
Emergency evacuation
procedures;
-
Personnel roles, lines
of authority, and communication;
-
Rescue and medical
duties for those employees who are to perform them;
-
Emergency response
training requirements;
-
Site decontamination
procedures;
-
Provisions for critique
of response and follow-up;
-
Personal protective and
emergency equipment.
It is good practice to conduct
emergency response drills to test the efficacy of the ERP and help
ensure the program works for actual events. Primatech can assist
companies in developing and implementing appropriate drills.
Primatech helps clients to determine
credible release scenarios which should be addressed by the ERP and
develop procedures that address the scenarios. We compare response plans
with release scenarios to help ensure the emergency planning zones,
egress routes, locations of PPE for emergency responders, and specified
assembly areas are appropriate.
An ERP management system is also
developed to provide a structured framework for the proper
implementation of the program. We can also help integrate multiple
programs into a single, Integrated Contingency Plan (ICP) for a site.
Primatech has developed numerous Emergency Response
Programs for various clients in a variety of industries. Our
understanding of OSHA and EPA regulatory requirements helps ensure that
programs comply with the regulations.
