Emergency drill - Frequency

[tuan]

What should be the frequency of an emergency drill, and where is it derived from, considerng a petrochemical facility?

Though I see this happening quarterly here, but I would be interested in looking into what International Standards say about this...

This is interesting.
Let me open up with the regulatory requirements fiest to place ourselves better.

OSHA does not explicitly mandate a specific frequency such as quarterly for emergency drills in petrochemical facilities. Instead, OSHA requires employers to have a written Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and to train employees on it, but the exact frequency of drills is not strictly defined in OSHA standards like 29 CFR 1910.38.

Now yes, we too do the drills on quarterly basis;
The practice of conducting quarterly drills is often derived from industry best practices and risk assessments tailored to the high-risk nature of petrochemical facilities. These facilities typically adopt more frequent drills (e.g., quarterly) to ensure readiness due to the potential severity of emergencies.

Yes, it has to be a risk based approach to agree upon a frequency for emergency drill.
