Nau mai, haere mai – Welcome to Ammonia Emergency Management.

We practice incident mitigation every single day at work, putting on safety boots and Hi-Viz. Completing permits to work, and JSA's have all become a subconscious ritual, and quite rightly so. However, emergency response and business recovery are not practiced or tested anywhere enough in comparison -opening an emergency response plan during an actual incident should not be the first time it is put to use.

When the loss of containment of Anhydrous Ammonia occurs, making the right calls in the first few minutes can heavily impact the outcome of the situation - this can often mean the difference between financial losses, environmental damage, serious injury or life, and death.

The content of this course includes key emergency response elements, focusing on the Coordinated Incident Management System (CIMS) and Incident Management Team (IMT) duties during an applied incident specific TARP™

Trigger Action Response Planning (TARP™) is a CIMS-based Emergency management solution developed in collaboration with New Zealand Mines Rescue that allows businesses to manage hazardous substance emergencies. TARP™ employs; risk-based, legislatively compliant triggers for activation, standardized process maps, and scalable duty cards to maintain optimum situational awareness and a clear interface between all stakeholders during an emergency.
