1 Public Protection & Safety Branch Operations Division 653 Airport Road, Fort St. John BC V1J M6 Phone (5) 79-5 Fax (5) Rev FUCTIOAL/FULL SCALE EXERCISE AUDIT FORM The BC Oil and Gas Commission audits emergency exercises as part of our safety management program. Through these routine evaluations, the Commission is able to confirm each company has the trained and certified staff and resources identified in their emergency response plan, and that staff participating in the exercise are knowledgeable in their roles and responsibilities during incidents and emergencies. Our intent is to provide each company with a fair and accurate account of how their staff met these expectations, and to identify any areas of concern which the exercise may have highlighted. We are also committed to the dialogue on safety, and welcome feedback on both our evaluation process, and any specific points within an evaluation that your organization would like to clarify. Auditing of emergency management exercises contributes to the Commission s overall understanding of the safety culture within each company. Combined with other evaluation factors such as a company s maintenance of Emergency Response Plans and emergency contact telephone numbers the Commission is able to best focus inspection and auditing resources on the areas of highest risk. The tool has been designed for use across the full range of exercise types, and there may be occasions when some fields are not applicable due to the type or design of a specific exercise. In such cases, the overall assessment may be adjusted to reflect the elements that were present and evaluated. The purpose of an emergency management exercise tabletop or full scale is to provide all participants with an opportunity to confirm their knowledge, and discover any gaps in plans, expectations and assumptions. This is particularly important when mutual aid forms part of the emergency response, as the quality of communications between organizations determines the effectiveness of a response. It is important that a common vision exists between evaluators and exercise participants of these key objectives: Promote emergency preparedness Test a new plan or amendments to a plan Reveal planning weaknesses Reveal resource gaps Test equipment and standard operating procedures Improve coordination Clarify role and responsibilities Improve individual performance Demonstrate operational capability Fulfill regulatory requirements Additional benefits that may achieved through emergency management exercises include: Gain public recognition of the emergency management program Develop confidence in the knowledge and skills necessary to act effectively during emergencies. The auditing tool on the following pages has been developed in consultation with representatives of emergency management planning, upstream, mid-stream and downstream aspects of the oil and gas sector in British Columbia.
