ERDMP regulation (Emergency Response and Disaster Management Plan) was issued by the Petroleum Natural Gas Regulatory Board in 2009

ERDMP regulation:

The scope of this regulation includes:

• Identifying the emergencies that might occur in the future
• Suggesting the precautionary measures that would help to eliminate the risk/disaster.
• To develop plans and points of action that are to be followed in case a disaster strikes.
• Outlining a plan for post disaster recovery to get the operations in the affected area to its original functioning state

Benefits of this inspection:

• This inspection helps the company examine the post disaster recovery methods they have employed. Having a robust plan in place would help the company recover fast from losses and damage during disasters.
• Regular inspection would help prevent casualties: both on-site and off-site
• Updating the ERDMP plan periodically helps in reducing damage to property, environment and the public in case a disaster strikes.
