Emergency Response Preparedness
As noted above, the applicable legal, regulatory standards and our risk assessment process plays a role in defining our emergency response preparedness, including: • Determining the location of staging area and entrance/exit routes; • Ensuring appropriate resources for incident command; • Maintaining adequate emergency response equipment; • Maintaining adequate hazard monitoring equipment (e.g. approved Combustible Gas Indicator); • Maintaining clean-up/waste contracts and mutual aid agreements with members of the Canadian Gas Association (CGA), the transmission pipeline association, and the Province of Saskatchewan; and • Conducting exercises and drills
4.3.3
Emergency Response Strategy
Each of our incident response plans is based on legal requirements, regulatory standards, industry guidelines and best practices for quick and effective emergency response to protect personnel, public, property and the environment. This involves identification of potential incidents, outlining the contingencies including resources needed to respond to emergencies, notification guidelines, developing responder checklists, procedures for remediation and clean-up, and training of stakeholders.
Procedures for responding to emergencies are stored on the CEMP SharePoint Site, and COMPs for remediation and clean-up are in the Standards Library.
