What measures are put in place to mitigate against the consequences of an on-site incident?
The terminal operator has a duty to prepare and test emergency procedures for dealing with the consequences of a major accident. The Local Authority must prepare an emergency plan which details how an emergency relating to a possible major accident in its area will be dealt with. If you live in the vicinity of the terminal you will have been provided with information on what to do in the event of an incident. The emergency plan should specify how warnings will be given to members of the public who may be affected by an incident or accident.
