1. PURPOSE
The Company’s’ Risks & Emergency Management Office is mandated and committed to the
health, safety and security of its general employees, staff, management, GMPs and other
stakeholders. This commitment can only be realized through planning and constant training for
the effective and efficient implementation of emergency management. This plan outlines the
steps to prepare, train and respond to an emergency occurring in our workplace areas.
This COMPANY’S Emergency Guide serves as the “checklist” that will direct employees and
stakeholders in the event of an emergency happening in any of Company’s’ affiliated
companies and business units. This manual does not profess to cover every emergency
situation but is enough to provide the elementary steps to cope with most of the workplace’
emergency incidences. No situations are the same and our responses are demanded by the
peculiarities of the events as they unfold. Objectives are to reduce further damage and limit
business interruption when incidents happened.
Conscious efforts have been exercised to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the
information in this guide by making the material brief, simple and educational. Employees
MUST have the time to read and practice the procedures outlined in this document for you to
know what actions to take before, during and after an emergency and always – good common
sense and judgment plus instinct honed by constant training assure safety of employees from
further harm and danger.
This working document is primarily the operational guidelines of the Incident Management
Team as well as the Emergency Response Team as primary responders in emergency events
happening in the confines of company premises. These checklists and guidelines are used
during training, testing, exercises and its ultimate use is when emergencies occur.
During seminars, table-top and drills and other tests and exercises, please have time to discuss
the contents of this guide with your co-workers and walk-through the procedures with them – in
short PRACTICE! After any of these activities, the operation document or records data must be
used for a post review leading to the improvement of this emergency management and
response plan.
The goals in responding to an emergency situation include:
The safety and security and the emotional wellbeing of employees, GMPs and guests.
The management and timely stabilization of an emergency situation.
The protection of the company facility, property, and personal safety of employees,
GMPs and guests.
2. SCOPE
This plan applies to all employees of the COMPANY’S Group of companies and other
stakeholders occupying its facilities to include global maritime professionals (GMPs) & their
families accompanying them as well as company guests.
The scope of this plan is intended to encompass all hazards. This plan may be consulted when
responding to any and all emergencies. When encountering a situation which has not been
expressly addressed in this plan, use good judgment and the guiding principles outlined below.
