4.4.7. Emergency preparedness and response
MDT has established, implemented and maintains an Emergency and Disaster
Preparedness policy (MDT Corporate Emergency Plan) that directs the MDT
Emergency Operations Plan to identify how MDT will respond to prevent or
mitigate associated adverse environmental impacts during potential emergency
situations and potential accidents (refer to EP 4.4.7-1).
The Emergency Operations Plan is periodically reviewed and updated where
necessary, in particular after the occurrence of accidents or emergency situations.
Periodic exercises are conducted to test the elements of the Emergency
Operations Plan.
