Corporate Environmental Emergency Plans Evaluation Based On International Comparison

In the early 20th century, some countries with rapid industrial development, such as America, Japan and Geman carried out some researches related to the preventions and emergencies of accidental environmental pollutions according to the frequent occurrences of serious pollution accidents in industrial production fields. Our country started the similar researches is later than the other countries due to the slower economical developments. There are fewer researches in emergency techniques, risk identifications, as well as risk precautions aiming at accidental environment pollutions in our country where there have been emerging a lot of environmental pollution accidents, therefore it is the urgent problems that studying at the preventive and emergency precaution to make sure the coodinated developments among ecomomic, society and environment.Basing on the comprehensive environmental pollution accidents's surveies of the compiling and evaluation methods of emergency plans, the present research establish the fundamental theories, principles and guideline system of enterprise's emergency plans evaluation from the point of this plan's cmpleteness, at the same time, we also assess the compiling situation of enterprise's plans in Shanghai city by chosing 116 corporations having the plan and carry out empirical reaearch from the these plans' cmpleteness. At last, we put forward corresponding compiling's suggestions of improving enterprise's emergency plans on the basis of above researches.The principle conclusions of this research involves the following aspects:(1) The present research compares domestic compiling guideline of emergency plans to foreign countries', and analyzes the similarities and differences between China and other countries. We mainly chose some typical emergency plans'compiling guideline in America, Canadian, or Austrilia as reference, and then analyze the similarities from the investigation of basic situation, accident sites, emergency response, emergency training and maneuver or so. On the other hand, we identify the main problems in our country's compiling guideline basing on the detailed levels of compiling, the response of private organizations, family communication systems, information publicity, transboundary pollutions. With learning from foreign countries'compiling experiences, we suggest that the compiling guildeline of emergency plans should be more detailed and specific in our country, pay attention to evacuation routes and settlement sites, make the private response organization on the list of this guildeline, as well as enhance the information publicity for the society and media.(2) The procedure and categorizing of the assessment of emergency plans in enterprise's pollution accidents are discussed in this research, and the assessments of emergency plans are classified into three types, that are completeness, flexibility and effectiveness evaluations. We develop preliminary studys at effectiveness evaluation and establish the index systems. On the other hand, we take completeness and flexibility of this plan as the key points, establish completeness and flexibility evaluation's index systems, and the criterion of flexibility index grading. On the basis of these researches, we design completeness index of emergency plans basing on level analyses and weighted comprehensive assessments, and also design flexibility index of emergency plans basing on gray relation analysis.(3) Chosing emergency plans of environmental pollution accidents of 116 corporations in Shanghai city as assessment samples, we evaluate the completeness and flexibility of this plans. The evaluation results indicate that both the completeness and the flexibility's levels of this emergency plans should be improved in the corporations of Shanghai city. Considering the main problems found from this assessment, we put forward the following suggestions:â‘ on the sights of the government management, establishment a united management and assessment's criterion is needed.â‘¡on the sights of enterprise, the completeness, flexibility and effectiveness of emergancy plans should be enhanced continuously.â‘¢from the point of society, the involvement rate of general public and social organizations should increase.
