An emergency cannot be always prevented but it can be controlled within limits and its effects can be minimized by using the best resources available at the
time.
Emergency planning is a management’s function and it should not be considered in isolation. Management should evaluate the activities, operations and
processes carried out within the works before starting to plan an emergency operation.
A check must be made to ensure that all required steps have already been taken which are included in emergency planning.
Considering our number of employees, materials and processes, availability of resources, location of site, size and complexity of the works, we have prepared
this emergency plan.
In our plan, we have shown the clear instructions without overlap or confusion for all concerned staff members.

Objectives of the emergency planning are as under

(a) To define and to assess emergencies, including risk and environmental impact assessment.

(b) To prevent the emergency turning into a disaster.

(c) To minimize damage to property or/and the environment.

(d) To inform workers and the authority about the role to be played by them in the event of emergency.
(f) Effective rescue and treatment of casualties.
