Actions During the Attack on Petrochemicals
The CEO of HSE Company for Assaluyeh Petrochemicals emphasized the importance of the golden hour in incidents resulting from attacks, stating: "During the war, the importance of the speed of response from firefighting forces became more evident than ever. In incidents such as fires and gas leaks, forces must reach the scene of the incident in the shortest possible time."
Yasari continued: "In the incident of the American-Zionist attack on the Jam, Mobin, and Damavand petrochemicals on the 17th of Farvardin, given the nature of the flammable liquid materials, there was a possibility of the fire spreading to adjacent units, but operational teams acted swiftly and, through countermeasures, prevented the fire from spreading to sensitive units and other production units."
Synergy of Companies in Emergency Conditions
Yasari, referring to the cooperation of regional companies during the imposed war, stated: "In emergency conditions and combined incidents, the capacity of firefighting equipment, machinery, and forces from companies stationed in Assaluyeh was utilized to enhance operational capability."
The CEO of HSE Company for Assaluyeh Petrochemicals also pointed out the importance of incident command in managing emergency conditions, saying: "Incident command is not something that can be established at the moment of an incident, but rather the result of years of training and conducting drills."
He concluded by adding: "The HSE Company for Assaluyeh Petrochemicals has sought to turn the threat posed by major incidents into an opportunity to strengthen regional preparedness and coordination, and during incidents, act as a communication bridge between petrochemical companies."
