Airborne Hazards, Incident Response System for Scotland
Scotland Gap, Risk, Issues analysis Service levels Location of potentially high risk sites e.g. COMAH Trunk Roads / Rail links Distribution of population Existence of Detection, Identification, Monitoring vehicle
(DIM) Other equipment e.g. – Collaborate or RIMNET or
another? SEPA cannot deliver this on its own Best value / Shared Service / Team Scotland Approach
Availability of scientific staff? Glasgow Scientific Services and City of Edinburgh
Scientific Services?

Distribution of COMAH Sites in Scotland – Part of Project Risk
Assessment
• Buncefield Type Sites
• Other similar sites
• Location of Field Teams
• Equipment: vans/hand
held meters
• Existing equipment e.g.
•Air Quality Network - LA
• AQC leadership
• Data /incident
management system
• Procedures/training

Options for an Airborne Hazard Incident Response System for
Scotland Multi Agency Group established
Membership – wide Remit - CBRN / HAZMAT? Role – through accredited science
processes deliver high quality data to facilitate public health decision making
Service level – 3 and 6 hrs - Not less than England and Wales
Delivery partners – crucial - dependant upon final agreed option
Processes – will be developed in partnership
NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED
Options for an Airborne Hazard Incident Response System for
Scotland Option 1 – Replicate EA Model using
Contractors Option 2 – Develop a new Model using DIM
Capability Option 3 – a mix of 1 & 2 Option 4 - Other suggestions
SEPA is committed to ensuring that all are aware and kept up to date
