A duty holder must-
- ensure that the manner in which employees, visitors and neighbours will be warned of major incidents is included in the plan;
- sign a copy of the on-site emergency plan in the presence of at least two witnesses who have knowledge in emergency planning and who must be satisfied with the content of the emergency plan and attest to the signature of the duty holder;
- obtain approval of the on-site emergency plan from the relevant local government;
- ensure that the on-site emergency plan is readily available at all times for implementation and use;
- cause the on-site emergency plan to be tested or exercised in practice at least once a year and take the necessary steps to arrange for the local government to participate in such tests; and
- give an early warning to affected or interested parties in case a major incident is likely to go beyond the borders of the establishment.
