CONCLUSION

EHS Managers Should:

Train facility staff on what to do if a release occurs.
If a release occurs, provide prompt, complete information to the IC. File the release report as required.
Test plans through tabletops, scenarios, or other exercises to identify weaknesses and needs.
Have a solid business continuity plan in place in the event of an emergency in the manager’s facility or elsewhere that would cause a disruption in business. Ideally, it should meet NFPA 1600, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards of best practice.
