Company Emergency Response Teams: Business Continuity and Damage Control
Background
1. The petroleum & chemical industry has seen robust growth over the past years and many leading petrochemical companies find their homes in Singapore.

Any incident that occurs in these premises may lead to loss of lives and properties, mass panic and major disruption to business processes.
