This document outlines an emergency response plan for a windfarm. It discusses the importance of responding quickly within the "Golden Hour" time period to save lives. The plan is based on NORSOK standards and assesses potential hazards and accident situations. It defines three levels of emergency response - operational on-site response, tactical technical support, and strategic decision making. The plan documentation includes operational notification procedures, communication charts, action plans for different situations, and an exercise and training program to ensure the plan is properly implemented. Regular training at all response levels is emphasized as critical for the plan to be effective.

2. Plan for the expected, deal with the unexpected

3. Background Scandpower has 30 years experience within risk management and emergency preparedness planning Emergency preparedness methodology based on NORSOK requirements and best practice from the offshore and onshore industry Risk management service provider to Statoil – the wind contract focuses on offshore and onshore windfarms

6. What you do within the golden hour will most probably affect the ability to safe lives

8. Emergency preparedness assessment process Identify defined situations of hazards and accident (DSHA’s) Pre-defined situations in which the plan is scaled upon Governing performance requirements Both regulatory and company specific requirements Evaluate the need for specific performance requirements Means of evacuation (type, location and capacity), equipment for rescue of personnel, interaction with external resources , standby vessels, equipment for mitigating environmental impact, dimensioning of the emergency preparedness organisation Documentation of assessment Based on usergroup interaction

10. Emergency response plan - 3 levels of response Line 1 - Operational Site of incident Lifesaving 1st aid Rescue, combating, evacuation Line 2 – Tactical Technical and operational support, next of kin, additional resources required by the first line, contact with regulatory authories and line 3. Line 3 - Strategic Strategic decisions and supervision, resource allocation between business areas, stakeholder, authority and media management

12. Plans are nothing; planning is everything training

14. A plan without frequent training at all response levels is of not much value

15. Training could be theoretical exercises (table-tops) or practical sessions - both at site and in the office
