The DuPont Integrated Emergency Response program helps industries and communities handle hazardous materials and dangerous goods and prepare for effective early response to chemical incidents. Basically, the program serves two major purposes: It provides a framework for using the closest Corporate regional resources for responses to chemical emergencies. It facilitates the sharing of resources to satisfy local and regional chemical emergency response obligations. The program is intended as a guide to ensure that responses to chemical emergencies are consistent with corporate policy, as well as product distribution standards, emergency planning, community preparedness, and industrial initiatives such as CAER and Responsible Care®. It is an important part of DuPont's ongoing commitment to the continual improvement of chemical management within our industry. The program illustrates how our worldwide manufacturing operations will provide timely and effective emergency response to incidents involving the DuPont materials we manufacture, use or transport. It explains how we will assist with other off-site chemical emergencies in which DuPont's knowledge and experience may be needed to prevent personal injury and protect the environment. Finally, it outlines our comprehensive training programs that are designed to improve the skills of those facing chemical emergencies. The program plays a vital role in helping DuPont remain a responsible leader, preferred supplier and welcome member of the communities in which we do business and through which our products are transported.
