Emergency Plans :
The last barrier to limit the possible consequence of a major accident in a high risk company (in particular a company submitted to the SEVESO directive) may be the degree of emergency preparedness. Therefore it is vital to have an updated internal/external emergency plan, based upon major hazards scenarios. Based on DNV's international experience, we are able to help you in establishing an adequate Emergency Plan and in defining the most optimal answer to manage each emergency situation in your organisation. DNV can aslo facilitate the co-ordination with the authorities and with internal & external rescue services.
Emergency Response :
DNV supports industry clients in assessing the potential extent of heat radiation effects in case fire scenarios might occur. Based on detail information of the plant and its hazardous substances, it is possible to modell till what distance heat radiation contours (e.g. 10 or 3 kW/m2) can occur, given a variety of meteorological conditions. With this information operators are able to take proper preparations for their emergency risk management systems.
Accident Investigation :
Learning from accidents is an important aspect in everyones business today. Every company is likely to face a number of accidents and near miss situations, from which important learnings need to be derived to prevent similar situations in the near future and to improve the current working practices. DNV is delivering training courses to improve the awareness of identifying the direct and basic causes. Systematic approaches like SCAT (Systematic Cause Analysis Tool), SOAT & TASC, Fault Tree Analysis and TRIPOD are applied to assess the learnings. With these techniques DNV also supports companies in the accident investigation itself. Our experiences consultants act as independent facilitators of investigations and help companies to set up and improve their accident analysis systems.
