Free guide to testing your telephone emergency response – and why it matters

Accidents happen and when dealing with chemical hazards, a swift, proportionate and informed response to an emergency situation can make a big difference.

The key to a compliant and commercially responsible chemical safety strategy is a reliable, efficient and experienced emergency response solution which reduces your organisational risk and helps protect your business from financial and reputational losses. 

 

Improve incident response outcomes 

Exercising your processes is vital, as it provides a low-risk environment in which to evaluate the performance of your emergency response provision, give relevant employees and stakeholders the opportunity to safely build incident experience and ensures you can be confident that when an incident occurs, your Level 1 telephone emergency response provision will perform as you expect.

 

Minimise environmental, reputational and financial impact

Poorly executed, unreliable or ineffective response can lead to an increased risk of harm or toxic exposure to people, wildlife, and the water table – sometimes with lasting detrimental effect on the environment, reputation and finances through association with a chemical incident.
