Emergency Response Planning for Oil Storage Facilities

Apart from staff training, a further critical component of an emergency response plan is training to provide staff with the knowledge and skills to respond effectively. Employees must be trained in the response procedure to emergencies including general evacuation, where to find the equipment, and how to properly use specific equipment. At Petro Deniz, we understand that trained employees are at the forefront of defense for an unexpected event and are uniquely prepared to act without hesitation.

While training is vital, the presence of proper equipment should also be present for emergency response. Fire suppression systems, spill containment, and protective equipment must always be available and at the highest level of functioning. The Petro Deniz routine includes inspections and repairs of all equipment to ensure it works properly when needed in an emergency response. Communication is an area of emergency planning that should certainly not be overlooked. Good communication supports event reporting and leads to quick reactions during a security incident, both from team members and entities outside the organization, including emergency response and management. Communication protocols should be established so that regular communication is maintained in case of potential emergency risk situations.
