This section briefly discusses the equipment and supplies needed to respond to
emergencies, such as fixed fire protection systems, firefighting equipment, hazardous materials
response equipment, extinguishing agents, personal protective equipment, etc. Each
organization should have a written policy and procedures for testing, inspecting, and maintaining
equipment and supplies properly. Inventory lists should be placed in an appendix of the
emergency response plan.
Emergency planners should check with key officials of off-site organizations and outside
agencies to ascertain their resources and capabilities and to determine whether they are
appropriate to handle the facility’s needs. Note that coordination with outside agencies must be
done with representatives from appropriate organizations such as Saudi Aramco Affairs.
On-site emergency response equipment that may be needed includes the following:
Emergency planners should establish a list of required equipment based on the credible
incidents and hazards identified. This list should be compared to what is available on-site. A
report that documents available equipment, the nature and impact of any deficiency, and
recommended corrective action should be developed and kept up-to-date.
All emergency response equipment should be stored in secure and accessible locations.
Regular inspections should be performed to ensure readiness. Dedicated emergency response
equipment (e.g., emergency SCBA) should not be used for non-emergency purposes.
