After leaving the oil at Pöchlarn station: fire brigade in action!
On Easter Monday, shortly after noon, the ÖBB operations manager at the Park & Ride facility at Pöchlarn trained at a parked car was carefully escaped from the equipment. The Pöchlarn volunteer fire brigade was immediately alerted to ensure quick intervention. When the emergency services arrived, it turned out that no person was present at the vehicle. This could rule out potential risks for human life.
The expired diesel oil was taken up by binders and disposed of properly by the fire brigade members. In order to prevent further spread of the environmentally harmful liquid, the remaining content of the tank was collected in a suitable container. After about half an hour, the mission was successfully completed and the fire department was able to return to the fire station, which banned the immediate danger.
Risk management according to ISO 14001
In view of the incidents such as leaving the oil, the importance of an effective emergency management is emphasized. ISO 14001 calls for a systematic approach to avoid environmental risk and emphasizes the need to identify potential emergencies in good time. A critical environmental analysis can help to recognize risks at an early stage and to react accordingly.
Companies are kept to develop emergency plans in order to keep environmental impacts under control. These plans should include responsibilities, emergency descriptions and immediate measures. Regular exercises for the realistic preparation of the employees are also essential in order to be able to act quickly and efficiently in an emergency. Alarm plans serve as an important communication instrument to ensure quick alarm in emergencies.
Preparation for emergencies
The incident in Pöchlarn can be seen as an example of the need for well -thought -out emergency management. The fire brigade, which works closely with external interests such as authorities, not only carries out operations, but also develops strategies for risk minimization. The protection of the environment, especially when handling dangerous substances, plays an important role.
The organizations concerned must continuously face the challenges that can arise from accidents and withdrawals of dangerous substances. The correct preliminary planning and training of employees are crucial for the minimization of potential damage and the preservation of the company image.
