1.0. OBJECTIVE
The objective of this procedure is to provide directives and
assistance so that crisis situations can be dealt with effectively, by ensuring
prompt mobilization, and control of facilities and people and also keep personnel
prepared for such occurrences to protect lives and minimize damage to assets.
2.0. INTRODUCTION
In case of emergency, as defined in these procedures, the
Contractor’s HSE Manager becomes the person in charge (PIC) of the response and
of the application of the emergency response plan. He remains in charge unless
relieved by the Site Project manager.
The Site HSE manager has been designated as the person in
charge of activating the emergency plan because this is part of his
responsibility at the site.
