General Guidelines for Environmental Emergency Response Plans

 

Objectives

To ensure rapid, standardized response to sudden environmental pollution incidents arising from production operations, contain pollution spread in a timely manner, and safeguard safe manufacturing activities.

 

Working Principles

Clear accountability, standardized workflows; complete framework, full functional coverage; rapid alert response, efficient on-site execution.

 

Formulation Basis

This document is compiled in compliance with the Interim Measures for the Administration of Emergency Response Plans for Sudden Environmental Incidents (Huan Fa〔2010〕No.113), the Shanghai Environmental Protection Regulations, and the company’s actual production operational conditions.

 

Range of Application

Applicable to the prevention and emergency disposal of all types of sudden environmental incidents on-site.



Prevention and Early Warning

 

Environmental Hazard Source Analysis

The company’s site is located in Zhangjiang High-Tech Park. There are no environmentally sensitive receptors in surrounding areas, and no on-site pollution hazard sources. Hardware testing activities within hardware laboratories and power distribution rooms carry potential risks of mechanical injury and electric shock.

 

Prevention Measures

All abnormal conditions shall be investigated and verified immediately. Once an environmental incident is confirmed, internal reporting and early warning activation shall be carried out without delay.

 

Early Warning & Countermeasures

We follow regulatory requirements issued by municipal environmental authorities, conduct routine daily inspections and maintain full readiness for pollution emergency response. Upon early warning activation, the below actions shall be implemented:

1.  Immediately activate the corresponding targeted emergency response plan;

2.  Issue official early warning notifications;

3.  Evacuate and safely resettle all at-risk personnel;

4.  Deploy emergency response teams to conduct on-site monitoring and real-time situation reporting;

5.  Establish restricted isolation zones and suspend high-risk operations to contain hazard escalation;

6.  Mobilize emergency supplies and equipment to guarantee sufficient logistical support capacity.

This clause applies to all activities related to the prevention and on-site emergency disposal of sudden environmental pollution incidents.

 

Emergency Response

Incident Reporting Protocol

If a sudden environmental pollution incident is detected, the person in charge shall report promptly to the Company Safety Manager and notify the local competent environmental authorities with zero delay.

Command & Coordination

An Environmental Emergency Command Center will be set up as required to direct and coordinate the full response to sudden environmental pollution incidents. All involved functional departments shall proactively submit basic emergency rescue data to the Command Center in a timely manner.

Core Command & Coordination Responsibilities

Establish general operational principles for all on-site emergency work;

Engage professional technical experts to participate in on-site emergency command and decision-making;Coordinate multi-level and specialized emergency teams to provide joint on-site support;

Arrange continuous hazard source monitoring across all threatened surrounding zones;

Organize the setup of on-site warning buffer zones and implement traffic control, while demarcating key priority protection areas;

Submit regular updates on emergency progress to local municipal governments and higher-level competent regulatory authorities.

 

Information Sharing & Management

After an environmental incident occurs, the affected site shall be fully secured and cordoned off. All information covering incident details, hazard scope and on-site conditions shall be centrally released, reported and fed back exclusively by the Environmental Emergency Command Center.

Conclusion of Emergency Response

1.  The Environmental Emergency Command Center shall review the on-site situation and issue an official termination order to conclude all emergency response operations.

2.  Once the disposal of a sudden environmental pollution incident is fully completed, all relevant departments shall carry out a comprehensive post-incident review, conduct root cause analysis, summarize key lessons learned, and implement targeted corrective actions without delay.

3.  Dedicated professional teams shall conduct a full evaluation covering: The overall effectiveness of emergency plans and standard operating procedures;

The practical usability and performance of all emergency equipment;

Staff competency levels and on-site response speed. Based on evaluation findings, the teams shall propose formal revisions to the emergency response plan.

4.  The company shall widely disseminate relevant environmental emergency laws, regulations, and general safety knowledge including hazard prevention, risk avoidance, emergency evacuation, self-rescue and mutual-aid rescue protocols.
