10. Site Specific Emergency Action Plans
Emergency Action Plans are created to put into application the knowledge gained during classes. On-site evaluations, risk assessments, equipment availability, resources, level of training, and hazards are all components of an EAP. Our staff work with vessel operators and shoreside terminals to identify and create a viable plan that can be carried out by the personnel assigned by the company. Specific training and equipment recommendations may be made to better implement the plan and reduce the operational risks to the participants. We have completed EAPs as part of our Consulting and Analysis work, please contact us to discuss your particular needs.
