ABSTRACT

The Emergency Plan is the guide on the setting up of internal and external equipment at the Establishment, previously inventoried, and of actions to be taken when there is an accident situation.

For the Establishments alluded to in the Order ORSEC Plan: Technological Risks, the Emergency Plan corresponds to the requirement for the establishment of an Internal Plan of Operation (IPO), for which the Head of the Establishment is responsible, and it contains all the information to be given to Public Authorities to carry out the Special Intervention Plan (SIP) prepared under the Authority of the Commissaire of the Republic:

— Starting from a study of the potential dangers presented by the installation, the IPO defines the organisational measures, the methods of intervention, and the necessary means which the operator must put into practice in the case of an accident, to protect personnel, the public and the environment.
