EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS & RESPONSE

The company has established this procedure in order to identify potential emergency situations and potential accidents that can have an impact(s) on the environment and document how the company will respond to them.

In the event of an accident or emergency environmental situation arising, action will be taken as soon as possible to prevent and/or mitigate associated adverse Environmental Impacts. The following incidents must be immediately reported to the Director who must record them using the incident form:

• Any unplanned and/or sudden release from pressure systems or of any solvent, or the venting,

planed or otherwise of any gas or hazardous substance,

• Failure of drainage, breach of closed water systems, or breach of open water systems other than at

a tap or drain cock.

• The release of any substances other than rain water to surface water drains.
• The loss of any waste load from its point of origin on the premises until it arrives at its final point of

disposal, either by accident or due to fly tipping.

The Director will, as soon as practicable, determine the scale and severity of the emergency environmental situation or accident and, depending on the circumstances, classify it as either a Major Incident or a Minor Incident.

All Major Incidents must be reported to the relevant regulatory authorities as soon as reasonably practicable.

The Director will take all reasonable steps to ensure that any release as a result of an emergency environmental situation or accident is contained and that any resultant harm to the environment is minimised.

Following an emergency environmental situation or accident all reasonable measures will be taken to ensure that any environmental damage is properly remedied and additional preventative action agreed. Wherever spill kits or other materials have been deployed in the course of an

environmental situation or accident they will be disposed of in accordance with relevant waste management legislation.

Following an environmental situation or accident an Emergency Report Form must be completed by the Director as soon as practicable.

We make sure to check the company’s environmental policy before using them
