Development of PMLLPA at the OPO

Our specialists work with all types of organizations that are subject to the requirement to have a plan for OPO, including enterprises of hazard categories I-III in the following areas:

• treatment of dangerous types of substances;
• production and use of melts of ferrous and non-ferrous metals;
• mining operations production;
• processing of plant products with the risk of explosive mixtures that are not intended for the gas consumption network;

The plans developed by our company's specialists fully comply with the terms of Government Decree No. 730. We also ensure that the PMLLPA is approved with all the necessary authorities.

A sample plan is described in sections 11-13 of the said resolution. According to this regulatory act, the PMLLPA includes two main blocks:

• the main sections. It describes the state of the analyzed object as a whole, the state of accidents and industrial injuries, as well as the likely variants of accidents. Among these sections, it is necessary to indicate potential sources of accidents and probable places of occurrence of abnormal circumstances;
• special sections that include a description of the rules for taking measures in case of force majeure, taking into account the specifics of the object. Such chapters include the action plan for eliminating the consequences of a radiation accident and other information;

If a company operating a production facility from a dangerous category has signed a cooperation agreement with a rescue team, the content of the document requires approval with it.

For plans for the application of measures to eliminate the consequences of accidents, limited application periods are established, which depend on the degree of danger of the enterprise:

• for coal mines and facilities operating underground — six months;
• for organizations engaged in open-pit mining or rock enrichment - 1 year;
• for other enterprises of the I hazard category — 2 years;
• for other enterprises of the II hazard category — 3 years;
• for other enterprises of the III hazard category — 5 years;

After the expiration of the regulatory period of application, the plan is subject to updating. The revised version of the plan must be approved no later than 15 days before the end of the period of its use.

In some cases, the revision of the PMLLPA should be made on an extraordinary basis. Contact our organization for urgent registration of the plan in case of such circumstances as:

• modernization of the existing capacities of the enterprise, reconstruction or updating of production technology;
• change of methods or replacement of equipment used for the implementation of production control;
• updating of production process management systems in the company;
• changing the directions of people's evacuation routes;
• serious accident at the enterprise;
• detection of inconsistency of the previous version of the plan with the real state of affairs;

Our specialists will promptly prepare a new document in accordance with the requirements of Resolution No. 730. Thanks to our work, your company will be ready for any emergency situations, which will minimize the consequences of even the most serious accident.
