RESCUE AND INTERVENTION ACTIVITY SET-UP AT THE LEVEL OF ECONOMIC AGENTS IN ORDER TO INCREASE SAFETY AND HEALTH AT WORK
Abstract
Emergency management is a complex task, involving precise coordination of numerous activities and people, as well as fast decision-making in environments where critical, vital information, might often be missing. Despite all technical and technological progress, most industries record accidents with human casualties and property damage. For this reason, the presence of special intervention ? rescue teams at economic units is critical, because they can ensure a quick and efficient response to confine / eliminate damages that generate toxic or chemically aggressive environments and rescue personnel overtook by such events. Research conducted so far found that in case of an explosion / fire type event, its first phase management by the economic operator is difficult, because economic units do not dispose of a structure able to provide urgent and effective response to such situations. In this circumstance, this paper aims on one hand to highlight, with the help of a case study, the serious consequences that may occur if the response time is delayed, and on the other hand to establish a series of activities (theoretical / practical, endowment, intervention procedures, etc.) that must be covered by economic operators to increase resilience to emergencies in hazardous environments.
