Integration of crisis management for hazardous incidents in the BMS
Alarm and evacuation plans, fire protection installations, etc., are now not only required by ISO 14001, but are also a - more or less detailed - component of quality standards (ISO/TS 16949) and EKAS guideline 6508.
Objectives, organisation and precautions for preventing hazardous incidents, accidents or IT emergencies or limiting their impact to a minimum are integrated in Chapter 1 of the BMS. They are described in 1.5 “Risk management/Emergency plans” and set out in detail in various appendices (11 Guidelines, etc.). The following protection goals are defined: company protection, personnel protection, environmental protection, asset protection and protection of production facilities..
Preparation for emergencies
In order to keep the risk of occurrence of a hazardous incident as low as possible and its impact as small as possible, SFS has the following infrastructure and tools at its disposal at the Heerbrugg site in addition to structural, systems engineering and insurance precautions:
Alarm organisations:
