The Industrial Technology Research Institute's (ITRI) Energy and Environment Research Laboratories (EEL) has drawn up this plan to provide technical support services for emergency response to accidents involving chemicals and toxic substances. EERL's plan is designed to mainly serve government environmental protection agencies, while also providing services to other government agencies and businesses. EERL drafted the plan based on its long-term implementation experience with related plans, as well as the operations of chemical emergency response centers both in Taiwan and abroad. On January 18, 2007, this plan was received and carried on thanks to the oversight and guidance by EPA, and with the full effort and cooperation of our colleagues. To date, 100% progress has been achieved for this plan
Throughout the entire year, every day for 24 hours a day, monitoring and record-keeping is implemented for all accidents involving toxic chemicals, hazardous materials, or terrorist attacks, as well as operations utilizing professional consultation services and disaster notification. This year to the end of March of next year, there were 412 domestic cases and 325 foreign cases. Of domestic cases, 151 cases required environmental accident response teams on-site in Northern, Central, and Southern Taiwan. The highest number of incidents occurred in Taipei County. and most incidents occurring at factory sites. Fires were the most frequently occurring type of accident. There were a total of 879 normal consultation service cases, with phone consultations accounting for most of these cases and industries accounting for the highest number of service recipients. Chemical products accounted for most inquiries in phone consultations, with an average of three days for complete recovery as a result of these services.
Planning is underway to fully integrate a toxic chemical substance accident prevention system and related technology, and to coordinate with civil defense mobilization and anti-terrorism response mechanisms. A 10-year outline plan has been completed, and covers short-term, mid-term, and long-term programs. The plan has also undergone two review committee discussions and revisions, and assistance has been provided to the Environmental Protection Administration's Department of Environmental Sanitation and Toxic Substance Management in carrying out revisions to laws and regulations regarding response measures. In addition, Kaohsiung Harbor has been designated as the National Toxic Accident Drill Planning site. Two on-site training sessions for national government agency mobilization have been completed each in Northern, Central and Southern Taiwan, while two on-site group training sessions for a united defense task force for toxic accidents have been completed each in Northern, Central, and Southern Taiwan. The National Conference on Toxic Incident Response has been completed in ITRI during 15-16, November. ITRI has also completed one on-site technology mobilization drill to coordinate with Taiwan national defense mobilization and anti-terrorism response operations. The results enjoyed the approval of all agencies.
Data has been compiled and collected on rescue and response in domestic and foreign toxic accidents, as well as for domestic and foreign toxic chemical control data and accident cases. A new version of a data platform containing information on toxic chemical substance accidents and rescue operations has been completed and is officially online. To date, basic data has been updated on 3,625 factories operating with toxic chemical substances for purposes of location and rescue. In addition, the safety data, emergency response cards, and rescue handbook for toxic chemical substances listed by the EPA (Numbers 1 through 258) have been updated and have undergone expert review. A national Geographical Information System (GIS) has been completed, with data compiled for 472 toxic chemical factory locations. The remaining factories have provided addresses for use in search inquiries. Meanwhile, the "Environmental Toxic Accidents Electronic Newsletter" has already published 13 issues. In addition, in accordance with past meetings, revisions continue to be made to the National Implementation Plan of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, as well as the completion of an abstract for the plan.
