Response The reaction to the actual or potential situation EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANNING Plan Is an organisation of knowledge which outlines how something should be done or what actions to be taken or a particular strategy to be followed TYPES OF ERP 1. Onsite ERP A plan to deal with onsite emergency Not pose a threat to the outside community Can controlled by onsite emergency team Minimum response from offsite emergency services A plan prepared by manufacturer TYPES OF ERP 2. Offsite ERP A plan to control major emergency Pose a threat to the outside community Require the use of offsite resources extensively Ideally the plan prepared by local authority WHY ERP? ◼ The plan is laid out to deal with specific emergencies such as fire, severe weather conditions, flood, major environmental emergency, disaster involving casualties, bomb threat, major equipment damage, etc. ◼ To provide a clear identification of the site, its location, location of hazardous materials stored and quantities on site. ◼ To co-ordinate the responses of off-site emergency services. WHY ERP? Provide guidance on actions to be taken to organize personnel and resources in the event of an emergency. To ensure that all emergency equipment is maintained properly, ready for use and that personnel are trained in the use of the equipment and the emergency procedure. The plan recognizes that there are many different types of emergency conditions which can arise and, thus, many decisions cannot be made ahead of time. COMPONENTS OF ON-SITE ERP 1.
