TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: 1975Description: 9p., 1 ref, 5 appendices; abstract (only) in English and FrenchReport number: Institutional/Corporate BodySubject: No industrial facility is immune from disaster. Emergencies can arise at any time and from many conditions. Planning for emergencies, like other management functions, must be done in advance. Only in this way can the potential for destruction be minimized. A comprehensive plan should cover all expected emergency situations, including both the spectacular - such as a natural disaster - and the more common fire situation. Experience has shown that it is economically and physically impossible to eliminate all hazards associated with the three elements of disaster: people, equipment and weather. Any of these three factors, individually or collectively, can destroy or seriously cripple the operations of any facility. This paper addresses essentials of an effective emergency plan and implementation activities such as organization, responsibilities, procedures, training, mutual aid, communications, transportation and public relations
