Emergency Response Plans
• Emergency Response and contingency
planning are used to minimise the effects of an
emergency situation. The complexity of these
plans is determined by the type of event, its
proximity to populated and/or environmentally
sensitive areas and the availability of resources
Emergency Response Plans
• A pipeline company is responsible for planning
for the Worst situation and the existence of a
good emergency response plan exemplifies a
company’s readiness to fulfill its legal and
ethical responsibilities in the case of an
emergency.
Emergency Response Plans
The key elements of a successful emergency
response plan are:
1. Identification of the most probable emergencies
2. Notification process ( who to contact and when)
3. Determining the immediate personnel actions to be
taken
4. Minimising adverse effects on personnel, property
and environment
Response Planning
• To effectively assess emergency response and the required
environmental protection in the event of a leak or pipeline rupture,
pipeline industry considers the following for Emergency Response
Planning (ERP) and Emergency Response (ER) and those needed for
effectively responding to an emergency leading to a crisis situation:
• Effective policies
• Procedures for meeting regulatory needs including any Permitting
Considerations
• Tools & equipment
In addition it requires the:
• prompt coordination of resources,
• special communications,
• and heightened authority for employees
