Emergency Response Planning for Hydrocarbon Facilities

This critical course provides the essential knowledge and framework for developing, implementing, and managing robust emergency response plans (ERP) tailored for the high-hazard environment of hydrocarbon facilities. It moves beyond theoretical concepts to focus on practical, integrated planning for a spectrum of potential emergencies, including fires, explosions, toxic releases, and natural disasters. Participants will learn to conduct hazard analysis, establish effective command structures (e.g., ICS), manage resources, and coordinate with external agencies. The ultimate goal is to equip personnel with the skills to mitigate incident consequences, protect life, safeguard the environment, and ensure business continuity following a major event, thereby minimizing operational and financial impacts.
