The consequences of an industrial accident can be significantly minimized if the company knows where its potential loss/accidents are located and have a pre-conceived strategy to deal with emergencies as soon as they are detected, thus preventing their evolution to an uncontrolled situation.
The organization as a whole must know what to do in each type of an emergency situation and for this, it is necessary to identify all relevant types of accidents, their possibility of occurrence and their consequences, as well as the necessary actions of each area/individual. This set of information is called the Emergency Plan.
This topic addresses, among others:
- Identification and Categorization of accidents relevant to the company.
- Assessment of the degree of danger to which the company is subject.
- Identification of the external supports in cases of Emergency.
- Definition of the Crisis Management team.
- Treatment of local / regional media and legal bodies.
- Importance of constant training.
- Importance of emergency simulation.
- Involvement of the local community.
- Security Plan for sites where there are chemicals controlled by the Brazilian Army.
