occur; and
 (c) evaluate a range of measures for eliminating those potential fires and explosions, or for otherwise reducing the risk arising from fires and explosions; and
 (d) evaluate the incorporation into the facility of both automatic and manual systems for the detection, control and extinguishment of:
 (i) outbreaks of fire; and
 (ii) leaks or escapes of petroleum; and
 (e) evaluate a range of means of isolating and safely storing hazardous substances, such as fuel, explosives and chemicals, that are used or stored at the facility; and
 (f) evaluate the evacuation, escape and rescue analysis, in so far as it relates to fires and explosions; and
 (g) identify, as a result of the above evaluations, the technical and other control measures necessary to reduce the risks associated with fires and explosions to a level that is as low as reasonably practicable.
Note: In so far as it addresses major accident events, the fire and explosion risk analysis forms part of the formal safety assessment.

2.18  Emergency communications systems
 (1) The safety case for a facility must provide for communications systems that, in the event of an emergency in connection with the facility, are adequate for communication:
 (a) within the facility; and
 (b) between the facility and:
 (i) associated on‑shore installations; and
 (ii) associated vessels and aircraft; and
 (iii) other associated facilities.
 (2) In particular, the safety case must provide for the communications systems of the facility to be:
 (a) adequate to handle:
 (i) a likely emergency on or relating to the facility; and
 (ii) the operation requirements of the facility; and
 (b) protected so as to be capable of operating in an emergency, to the extent specified by the formal safety assessment relating to the facility.
Note: See subsection 2.5(3) for the requirements of a formal safety assessment.

2.19  Control systems
  The safety case for a facility must make adequate provision for the facility, in the event of an emergency, in respect of:
 (a) back‑up power supply; and
 (b) lighting; and
 (c) alarm systems; and
 (d) ballast control; and
 (e) emergency shut‑down systems.

2.20  Emergency preparedness
 (1) The safety case for a facility must:
 (a) describe a response plan designed to address possible emergencies, the risk of which has been identified in the formal safety assessment for the facility; and
 (b) provide for the implementation of that plan.
 (2) The plan must:
 (a) specify all reasonably practicable steps to ensure the facility is safe and without risk to the health of persons likely to be on the facility at the time of the emergency; and
 (b) specify the performance standards that it applies.
 (3) The safety case must make adequate provision for escape drill exercises and fire drill exercises by
