METHODOLOGY

Draft IRPs will be prepared by OOCEP (Ray and Bryan) and circulated to OOCEP and SGS team for
comments and additions – it is expected that all SGS crew will participate as it will increase awareness of
hazards, confidence in responding and ownership of the process.

OOCEP will then update the IRPs and then carry out drills with the team to rehearse the responses and
test and refine the procedures
