We help organisations respond to environmental incidents quickly and effectively by ensuring preparedness and priority with our Response Plus policy.

Specific legislative requirements
Under MCA (Maritime Coastguard Agency) legislation and COMAH regulations, operators are required to develop contingency plans for major incidents. Any business with ISO14001 accreditation should also demonstrate the ability to deal with a pollution event.
For all other organisations a response contract is not required but it is best practice as preparedness and speed of response are key to mitigating the environmental and business impacts of an incident and protecting you and your organisation.

Response preparedness audit
Spills will only pose a risk to people and the environment if there is a source, pathway, and receptor present.
As a Response Plus customer our experts will visit your site to perform a Response Preparedness Audit. We will identify any risks, work out the best access points, understand your site layout, and identify pollutant linkages.
Prioritised response
Speed of response is vital to reduce its impact on the environment, your business, and your reputation. With a Response Plus contract you get a prioritised, immediate, SLA-based response, with no call-out fees.
Because we know your site, how to access it, and which equipment we need, there’s no lengthy discussion or onboarding required - we respond quickly, with zero delays.
Discounted planning and training
Though your individual point of contact you can arrange additional spill response planning and training to ensure your teams are prepared and can provide first response in the event of an environmental incident before our teams arrive.
MI data and reporting
We can provide you with data on the number of incidents across your sites, the locations and substances responded to, for reporting purposes.
