24/7 Emergency Environmental and Disaster Response

Imagine these common scenarios:

A major transport incident
An overfilled storage tank
An unexpected reaction with other chemicals at a customer’s site
A fire in a warehouse in which your chemicals are stored

Handling and transporting fuel or other hazardous goods can be a dangerous business. Good planning and rigorous safeguards will lessen the risk but if the unexpected happens, you could be left with a full blown disaster on your hands. That’s when it pays to be protected by OAMPS Petrochemical and to enjoy these complimentary services:

24/7 emergency environmental response

As an OAMPS Petrochemical client you receive access to our 24hr environmental emergency response facility operated by OHES Environmental our sister company. Their environmental consultants and clean up specialists will take instant control of the situation, acting rapidly and effectively during the vital first few hours to minimise the effects of the incident.

Knowing help is always at hand is crucial. If you suffer a major out-of-office-hours incident when brokers or insurers are not contactable, your response could be significantly delayed. A fast response is vital, not only for containing the situation and avoiding EA fines, but a late or poor response can boost claim costs and see your insurance premium spiral. This is why OAMPS Petrochemical utilises the services of the National Chemical Emergency Centre in conjunction with OHES Environmental to make sure we are contactable 24/7 whatever the circumstances.

Not all emergency situations occur away from your premises. Should you be unfortunate enough to suffer a major loss at one of your sites and you insure your property through OAMPS Petrochemical, you’ll have access to our “Business Disaster Recovery Service” which, within 48 hours, will provide you with emergency alternative accommodation in any one of 450 office locations in mainland UK, complete with office furniture, meeting rooms, reception facilities, fax/copier and secretarial services.

Meeting your legal obligations

The HSE expects every business in your sector to have a Disaster Recovery Plan as part of your COSHH risk assessment. If you suffer a major incident and you don’t have such a plan, then you could be heavily fined. These OAMPS Petrochemical services help you meet this legal obligation.
