If incidents grow in complexity and scale, the responsibility for directing the company’s overall response may shift to higher levels in the organization. This escalation in responsibility is necessary because the response may require provision of national or international expertise and equipment, may become the focus of media attention, and may require increased funds and management to address a wider range of environmental, social and economic consequences. This Crisis Management Plan (CMP) is designed to assist in protecting OGC from the corporate consequences of a crisis event, whether sudden (emergency) or escalating in nature, by ensuring prompt and effective handling of the strategic, contractual and public image aspects arising. Corporate Crisis Management is activated by the Site Senior Executive or Mine Incident Controller when a situation involves or has the potential to involve any of the following: • Threatens the safety, health and wellbeing of our employees, contractors, neighboring communities or the public at large. • Significantly affect the company’s ability to carry out its business. • Damage the company’s reputation, threatens the environment.
