The 24-hour emergency consultation service is continuously available in the entire year. Since the beginning of the year, the emergency consultation service has been provided without interruption. To date, a total of 20 cases of emergency consultation service for hazardous chemical disasters have been handled. This means that this Center provided 2 cases of important emergency service in average per month. The objects that have received the above services included such organizations as environmental protection, fire brigade, and harbor bureau and navigation station. Afterwards, this Center conducted survey, compilation of data and analysis on the cases of field response support. On Nov 22, 2002, this Center convened year 2002 seminar on emergency consultation cases and operation procedure instances, with participants from such government agencies as Fire Protection Dept of Ministry of Interior, environmental protection units at central and local levels, scholars and the concerned enterprises for discussions, where they made discussions and analysis on the cases of emergency consultation and revision to procedure governing emergency consultation. Number of phone call for non-emergency consultation service ranged from 4 to 5 times per week. Contents of the service included description of toxicity of toxicants, introduction to the relevant laws/regulations, description of installation of alarm system, and key points of hazardous prevention as well as emergency responsive actions. To assure safety and effectiveness in disaster prevention and rescue, by end of Aug 2002, this center has completed to update the card for hazardous chemical materials (HAZMAT) under file No. 107-164 on the list for follow-up actions, manual on prevention and rescue of disasters, the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and other data on toxicity.
With respect to the progress in establishment of basic data on prevention and rescue of plant for production of hazardous chemical materials, the plants have completed filing of the relevant data and the connection of inquiry programs and systems. First priority for establishment of file is assigned to the plants engaged in production of hazardous chemical materials with productivity in excess of the upper limit in the counties and cities in northern Taiwan. To date, files have been established for 400 chemical manufacture plants. Contents of file comprise basic information of the plant, data on production/operation of hazardous chemical materials, plain drawings inside and outside of the plant and data on the resources exclusively for emergency rescue. With respect to the mobilization and orientation sponsored by the competent authority, the government conducted orientation for 56 persons from environmental protection bureaus, the fire brigades at county and city levels as well as the military units within this jurisdiction. With regard to the organization and training in the joint section for control of hazardous control on northern Taiwan such training for 325 trainees has been completed on Aug. 20, 2002. To intensify the mutual responsive actions between members of the team for joint actions for control of disaster from hazardous chemical materials, this Center issued 1500 copies of newsletter at end of Apr. 2002 which were distributed to members of the nationwide joint team for control of hazardous chemical materials, the in-charge personnel of unit for disaster control of governmental agencies, expert groups and the supportive military units. For the re-review on the mode of organization of the joint-team for prevention of hazardous chemical materials in northern Taiwan, there are 383 manufacturers participating in this program and they are divided into 17 sections.
With respect to the plants for production of hazardous chemicals without alarm system for tests, this Center has developed a test program that comprises 3 packages for the test and the scoring, for which presentation was held on June 12, 2002. At the presentation, videotape was displayed to show flow and highlights of the test.
