The mandatory Company Emergency Response Team (CERT) Scheme for companies which store more than five metric tonnes of petroleum and flammable materials, is an integral part of
their emergency response to an onsite incident. It protects the company employees while minimising business losses.
From April 2009 to February 2010, SCDF audited the CERTs from more than 218 premises for their operational effectiveness. More than 90% passed the CERT audits, validating their immediate response plans. Since October 2009, the respective territorial fire stations have been empowered to conduct such audits. This gives them the important operational overview of the CERT capabilities of the companies within their boundaries.
