EMERGENCY RESPONSE POLICY
SHROMB GEOTECHNICAL LTD believes that ‘Safety is everybody’s businesses. Thus
all reasonable measures are taken to prevent the occurrence of an unwanted event. All
such measures form part of the company’s safety policy and operations guidelines, which
are already being propagated in our operations.
However, after all efforts to prevent the occurrence of an unwanted event, accidents may
still happen. Primarily, first aid and medical evacuation procedures are in place in our
company’s safety policy manual. But accidents occur in varying forms and are of varying
magnitude. Some could even result in sudden change in the condition of either the human
or material resources of an organization, and apart from disrupting normal operation, could
result in more damage to the human and material resources of an organization. This could
be identified as crises or an emergency situation.
In order to avoid more damage resulting from confusion and stampede, also to prevent
the crises situation from escalating, it is wise to identify specific emergencies for crises
situations for which specific plan of action could be drawn.
All such plans must be practicable within the limits of human and material resources, and
must be aimed at:
1. Saving life
2. Minimizing pain and suffering
3. Minimize waste on normal operation
4. Restore normal operation

All the emergency plans are directed towards realizing maximum assistance at the
shortest possible time, and ensure that all services likely to be involved or affected are
informed within the shortest possible time. An orderly and effective response to the
measure in place is of vital importance for achieving desired results.
