Process Safety and Process Safety Engineering are used to prevent incidents occurring and to mitigate the effects of incidents which could not be prevented. In addition, industrial sites will always have emergency response incorporated in their safety management system to be prepared for when things do go wrong. Therefore, Emergency Response Management is a dedicated activity within the organization of a company.
