Our
procedure in the event of an accident:
-
In
the event of an incident, first news of it is likely to be reported
to the Huktra
emergency number, which is manned 24 hours per day by key
personnel. They in turn will ensure all relevant information
is collected at the earliest possible stage. A list of
subsequent actions and telephone conversations should be duly
recorded.
-
Both
the General Manager and the Fleet Engineer must be informed
immediately and they in turn will maintain contact with the external
emergency services.
-
The
circumstances of each particular incident will determine the action
that is required, but generally, when an incident occurs the General
Manager or his deputy will travel to the scene of the incident
immediately. If the incident location is physically too
far away for this to happen, the locally nominated agent will be
instructed to attend the incident on behalf of the Company.
-
In
the event of an accident involving a tankcontainer carrying a
customers product, the customer must be advised immediately. The
emergency services should be encouraged to contact the customer's
emergency staff to obtain chemical hazard information from their
chemical expert.
-
Consideration
for the environment and the danger of pollution is of major concern,
and it will be the responsibility of the Senior Company
Representative at the scene to asses the exposure to all people in
the vicinity of any substances hazardous to health. The
effects of any substance spillage, whether or not hazardous, must be
assessed and the local water authority advised if necessary.
-
Huktra
personnel shall not make any public statement considering any
incident or situation involving services provided by the Company.
