Introduction to Falck Group Ability to manage complexity
Falck was a key player in the disastrous Deep Water Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico
14
● Deep Water Horizon exploded in April 2010; 11 people died and 17 were injured. Subsequently, the spill developed into one of the worst environmental disasters of all time.
● Falck provided disaster training prior to the incident which played a key role in minimizing injuries and death.
● To help facilitate the clean up, Falck developed a training program in close cooperation with BP to train more than 5,000 people in Houma, Louisiana.
● Falck provided training on the clean up animal habitats on the beach and in the ocean.
Introduction to Falck Group Unique adaptation competencies in handling major accidents
● The operations and tasks at hand were enormous and Falck quickly hired 200 additional people to further help with the clean-up.
● This is the largest single personnel assignment Falck has had so far in the US.
“In the past, we’ve sent everything from paramedics to firefighters to jobs in the Gulf
of Mexico; however, we’ve never had an assignment of this magnitude. It has given us invaluable experience in handling disasters –
experience that we can put to good use in the future.” Morten Halager VP Falck Alford.
Falck takes pride in participating in disaster management activities and has decades of experience.
15
● Tsunami in December 2004
● Co-working with The Danish National Emergency Agency
● Large explosion incident in November 2004, damaging approximately 250 homes and evacuating 5,000 residents.
Introduction to Falck Group Disaster management capabilities and experience
● 365 days per year, 24 hours per day, the Emergency Response Team (ERT) is on stand-by to be deployed in the event of fires on board ships, incidents with hazardous substances, and/or refinery fires.
● The team consists of specialists, who in addition to their daily activities, immediately deploy to the scene of an emergency with their own equipment - anywhere in the world.
● The ERT is employed by government authorities, shipping companies, salvage companies, and insurance companies.
● The commitment of the ERT makes the difference between limited damages and total loss, as well as the difference between life and death.
● In 2010 the team had 6 deployments, mainly to extreme fire disasters on board large ships.
