Abstract |
The control of hazards posed by the petrochemical industry in Malaysia is covered by both the Malaysian Occupational Safety and Health (Control of Industrial Major Accident Hazards) Regulations 1996 and the Responsible Care initiative of the chemical industry. This paper describes elements to be considered in an emergency response programme for industry, such as emergency management, organization, duties and responsibilities, emergency systems, training and mutual aid plans and agreements. Examples based on the practices adopted by a multinational petrochemical company are included. |
