Emergency Preparedness
Molgas has established an emergency preparedness system to ensure that the organization is capable of acting effectively and appropriately to mitigate harmful effects resulting from undesired incidents. Molgas’s emergency response plan addresses incidents that could affect employees, contractors, the general public, property, or the environment. Molgas cooperates with local Fire and Rescue Services in the municipalities where the facilities are located. 2nd line emergency response is the operational preparedness, which is coordinated by an external party.
In the event of serious incidents and accidents, the emergency services must be called first (110 / 112). All Molgas facilities have a 24/7 manned emergency hotline that handles Operations and Emergency Response:
