Regulation 10 Preparation of emergency plans by harbour authoritiesI1
England, Wales and Scotland
A harbour authority must have in place an effective emergency plan, before dangerous goods are permitted into the harbour area, for dealing with emergencies which may arise and which involve, affect or could affect dangerous goods that are brought into or are handled in the harbour area.
In preparing the emergency plan the harbour authority must consult—
the emergency services; and
any other bodies which appear to it to be appropriate.
Where the harbour authority’s harbour area abuts the harbour area of another harbour authority the emergency plan must in addition be agreed by both harbour authorities.
The harbour authority must review the emergency plan periodically, having consulted with the parties listed in paragraph (2), and where relevant paragraph (3).
