Enhanced security
At Chemesis, absolute priority is given to the safety of persons and installations. To this end, the platform puts in place extremely strict and effective procedures. Only specially trained companies are authorized to intervene on the Seveso high threshold classified site.
Approved Technological Risks Prevention Plan (TRPP)
The TRPP aims to address town planning requirements around the Seveso high threshold plants. They define the town planning rules for future and existing buildings. With almost 1 billion Euros invested on the platform, 400 million Euros of which are maintenance costs over the past 5 years, Chemesis has an approved TRPP, allowing new investors to establish themselves easily on a site with the latest safety standards.
"Chemesis's industries are placed in a secure area where shared risks are better managed. "
Lionel Gernolle, Director of the Chemesis Arkema plant
To ensure the security of everyone, Chemesis organizes regular security drills and exercises. The stakeholders follow the standards defined by the Union of Chemical Industries (UCI), the professional federation of the sector.
"Chemesis participates every year in the World Day for Safety and Health at Work. It is a real highlight of the platform. "
Gabrielle Kakeldey, Assistant to the Delegate General of the Union of Chemical Industries
Chemesis also has an internal emergency fire response team. The fire-fighters are on site and thus can ensure an immediate response, minimizing risks in the event of an incident.
24/24 secured site
Chemesis has put in place a system of common security surveillance that continuously monitors the perimeter of the Seveso site.
"The pooling of these services and the related costs are reflected in the competitiveness of companies at Chemesis. It also simplifies reporting to the supervisory authorities. "
Lionel Gernolle, Director of the Chemesis Arkema plant
An integrated health care facility
The health of its employees is of paramount importance for Chemesis. To preserve the physical and mental condition of its 1,200 employees, the platform has, therefore, recruited an occupational physician working full-time on the site.
A preserved environment
For the industries, respect of the environment is essential. All are committed to assessing and managing the environmental and energy impacts of their activities as well as implementing joint preventative actions.
"The optimization of the energy efficiency of the facilities, the water cycle, and the remediation of soils are today research priorities at Chemesis.
