Emergency Response - Orica Yarwun

Orica Yarwun is committed to improving community awareness of potential hazards through consultation with local emergency services, our industry neighbours and the surrounding community. Comprehensive management systems are in place at our site to ensure that our operations are safe and do not affect the local community.

Emergency Response Procedures

Orica Yarwun has safely manufactured chemical products for over 30 years. While an emergency event is very unlikely, we have in place an emergency response plan, which incorporates regulartory and emergency services approval. This plan is aimed at the reduction of harm.

In the case of a major emergency, Orica Yarwun will ensure that up-to-date information is made available to the authorities. For further information on our emergency response plan, download our Orica Yarwun Community Brochure.

Emergency services are responsible for communicating with the community in the event of an emergency with immediate threat to the community.

What to do in an Emergency

In the event of ammonia or other toxic gas releases from Orica, the recommended community response, including all our industrial neighbours, is to shelter in place.
