Preface
This is the first edition of CSA Z246.2, Emergency preparedness and response for petroleum and natural gas industry systems. This Standard provides requirements for a continual improvement process to develop, implement, maintain, and evaluate an emergency preparedness and response program that helps operators in the industry to be prepared to respond to an emergency that affects people, the environment, and property. In developing this Standard, previous and existing standards were used. These include, but are not limited to, legislation, best practices, policies, standards, and applicable codes. CSA acknowledges that the development of this Standard was made possible, in large part, by the financial support of the petroleum and natural gas industry and its member organizations.Scope
