Exercise Exodus tests emergency response

Gladstone Ports Corporation (GPC) and stakeholders at Fisherman’s Landing have tested their communication and evacuation processes in an emergency response exercise this morning.

​

Exercise Exodus simulated a motor vehicle accident on site, resulting in a ruptured pipeline and an uncontrolled product.

​

GPC CEO Peter O’Sullivan said that the cooperation of stakeholders, including Fisherman’s Landing tenants, nearby industry, emergency services and Maritime Safety Queensland, made the exercise a success.

​

“Field exercises such as this provide us with an opportunity to assess the effectiveness of our communication and processes,” Mr O’Sullivan said.

​

“The outcomes help inform any changes required to the Fisherman’s Landing Emergency Management Plan to ensure that we can act quickly and appropriately in the event an incident does occur.”

​

The site was evacuated without incident and employees were able to return to work following the completion of the exercise.

​

A full review of the events will be conducted to identify any continuous improvement opportunities.
