Each business site and plant establishes the action criteria in response to emergency situations at environmental facilities, organizes a system to take proper action and periodically provides training. Training is provided in the presence of the audit group even during the implementation of EASTER. Whether actions are taken based on the procedures, and whether communication and measures are promptly and thoroughly performed are examined through training.
By ensuring the environmental structures are in compliance with the guidelines for soil investigation through observation wells, along with prevention of chemicals and oils from scattering, flowing out or penetrating into underground, as well as monitoring water quality at the final drain outlet and installing emergency shutoff valves, thorough prevention is achieved.
