Emergency response plans

An emergency response plan is crucial to safeguard valuable resources. Its primary objective is to prevent asset loss, ensure rapid recovery in event of disasters, maintain business continuity, and minimize losses. By detailing protocols, resources and responsibilities, it helps protect and preserve assets, reducing risks and enabling a swift return to normal operations.

The different stages in the ERP include:

  • Shutdown and declaration of discovery
  • Resource mobilization
  • Initial response actions
  • Leak control and containment

Essential components of a structured ERP to handle crisis include:

  • Emergency operational controls
  • Communication plans
  • Field control plans
  • Repair plans
  • Resume operations plans
  • Investigation and root cause analysis
  • Gathering lessons learned
  • Simulacrum, competences, and testing
