Hazards for any organization are often dangerous threads. Management and mitigation often require proper consideration. Emergency management plans visualize steps to mitigate and reduce the impacts of dangerous chemical spillage, toxic gas accidental release and fire or explosion. All hazardous installations should have an appropriate emergency plan that is specific to that installation and focused on a whole range of credible scenarios of incidents. To tackle such situations, a systematic review of hazard identification procedures and consequence analysis is essential. This will aid in the efficient control of major injury scenarios. Primary aspects of emergency preparedness include good communication systems, emergency preparedness preparation, staff training and safety training, analysis of previous incidents, impact evaluation reports and daily contact with different departments. The plan and procedure for an emergency should be checked and revised regularly. This is to ensure that they are current and accurate, that they comply with new legislation, that lessons learned are implemented and that improvements are made to increase performance. The results of this study showed that each type of accident occurring in the process plant could be effectively managed by adequately trained staff. Appropriate management-side preparation and implementation are recommended.
