The Cost of Being Unprepared
Without a clear plan, an emergency can quickly become a bigger problem. Delayed response times, regulatory penalties, environmental damage, and disrupted operations are all real risks when organizations wait until an incident happens to figure out next steps. A well-built emergency response plan changes that. It gives your team clear roles, tested procedures, and a faster path to recovery, protecting people, the environment, and your operations.
How We Build Your Emergency Plan
We work closely with your organization at every stage of the planning process. It starts with understanding your operations and risks, then developing practical solutions that fit your regulatory environment. Throughout the process, we stay in close communication to make sure your plan works when it matters most.

Staying Current With Regulatory Requirements
Emergency preparedness requirements continue to change across Western Canada. We stay current with regulatory expectations, including those set by the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) Directive 071, the BC Oil and Gas Commission, and Saskatchewan requirements. Proactive planning that reflects these requirements helps organizations reduce risk and respond effectively when an emergency occurs, rather than scrambling to catch up afterward.
Industry Guidelines and Association Work
Wotherspoon Environmental has contributed to industry-wide emergency response guidance, including response equipment optimization reports and contingency planning guidelines developed for the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) and the Regional Association of Oil and Natural Gas Companies in Latin America and the Caribbean (ARPEL). This experience shapes how we build practical, industry-informed emergency response plans for our clients today.
Technology That Supports Your Emergency Plan
Beyond written plans, we advise organizations on mapping and electronic tools that support emergency response efforts. These tools help your team access critical information quickly during an incident, improving coordination and response time when it matters most.
