ABSTRACT

Ja’far Amiruddin, Vivian Karim Ladesi, Maghvira Safitri. 2023. Evaluation of emergency response management at PT XYZ.

PT XYZ is engaged in the oil and gas refinery industry including major hazard installations which have a high risk of major accidents such as fires and explosions in fuel storage tanks. Implementation of emergency response management, including policies, procedures, organization, training and communication that is implemented is important to anticipate an emergency situation at the refinery caused by various factors. The emergency response management system needs to be evaluated in accordance with existing standards as an effort to see whether or not the implementation of emergency response management has been optimal and the readiness of the emergency response team. This research is an evaluative research that is descriptive qualitative in nature, aims to find out the description of emergency response management and its conformity with the NFPA 1600 standard, then to determine the readiness of the emergency response team if an emergency occurs, especially fire during the implementation of the Major Emergency Drill which refers to the FEMA Incident Action Planning Guide . The results showed that emergency response management at PT XYZ conformity with the NFPA 1600 standard was 89.73%.
