A real tool in the event of a crisis situation, the internal operations plan (POI)<\/strong> is designed to ensure the safety of property, people and the immediate environment of specific establishments. <\/p>\n\n

In accordance with Articles L515-41 and R181-45 of the French Environment Code <\/strong>, it sets out the organization, response and resources required by the operator. Contents, establishments concerned, updates: here’s everything you need to know about the POI.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

What is the Internal Operation Plan (POI)?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The internal operations plan<\/strong> or emergency plan<\/strong> applies to plants where a facility is likely to present technological risks<\/strong> to the health and safety of neighboring populations and the environment. <\/p>\n\n

In fact, an IOP <\/strong>must be drawn up <\/strong>following a study of the hazards<\/a> present in the various areas of a plant. This plan must take account of the elements identified in the study, including the various accident scenarios put forward. <\/p>\n\n

The POI thus integrates the resources deployed by the plant itself, as well as those of the public emergency services, neighboring industries and, if necessary, outside companies. <\/p>\n\n

If necessary, the operation plan is triggered by the plant manager or by the designated Director of Internal Operations (DOI)<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

While internal operating plans are mandatory for high-threshold SEVESO sites<\/strong>, they will also soon be required for low-threshold sites (January 1, 2023). <\/p>\n\n

But it can also be made compulsory by prefectoral or ministerial decree for any facility classified for environmental protection (ICPE)<\/strong> subject to authorization. <\/p>\n\n

What should a plant’s emergency plan contain?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

First of all, the POI is drawn up and drafted by the plant manager, taking into account the hazard study and the various accident scenarios. <\/p>\n\n

To guarantee its effectiveness, it must be forwarded to the Service d\u00e9partemental d’incendie et de secours (SDIS<\/a> ) and <\/strong>shared with the various players involved in its implementation.<\/p>\n\n

This includes in-house employees, employees of the private security company working on the site, and potentially also the various sites in the surrounding area. <\/p>\n\n
