Administration, Information Center.
Contingency planning is a major focus in China, which
will be hosting the Summer Olympics in Beijing in 2008
and the World's Fair in Shanghai in 2010.
Mr. Rayburn focused on emergency planning, preparedness,
and response at airports for hazardous substance releases
arising by accident or intention (i.e., terrorism).
While the focus of the workshop was geared toward terrorism,
Mr. Rayburn also demonstrated that preparing for terrorist-driven
impacts can address many other root causes of spills,
including operator error, equipment malfunction, natural
disaster, etc.
He discussed emergency response management and the tools
and processes that need to be engaged to help the leadership
identify a crisis, proactively address response needs,
assess the current situation, delineate potential impacts,
minimize impacts, and recover.
He presented a mix of case studies, lessons learned
from recent crises, training/exercise regimes, and a
response management tool being developed by EnSafe’s
Information Technology Division.

EnSafe Opens Office in Shanghaii
|
| November 21, 2005
Over the next 5 years China plans to spend an estimated
$157B, or 1.5% of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
on environmental technologies and services. “These projected
expenditures, coupled with the sharp increase in US
based manufacturers locating facilities in China, and
the recent promulgation of more stringent environmental
and labor protection standards provide an advantageous
business climate and are the catalysts for our expansion
into China, stated Phillip G. Coop, President and CEO
of EnSafe, Inc.
Shanghai was selected as EnSafe’s logical first location
in China due to its burgeoning economy and prominence
as a key manufacturing center in Asia. “It became clear
to me as early as 2003 that China was emerging as a
real economic superpower with tremendous opportunity
for us to serve our US based customers with economic
interests in China and other parts of SE Asia”, added
Sean Smith, Vice President of International Business
Development at EnSafe.
Dr. Wen Chen (Victor) Liu, a Certified Industrial
Hygienist and Safety Professional, fluent in English,
Mandarin and Cantonese will head up the new office.
“Recent legislation by the State Environmental Protection
Administration (SEPA), new Labor Protection Standards
for the safety and health of workers, along with the
Five Year National Economic and Social Development Plan
(Eleventh-Five Plan) will serve as a compass to
navigate us into the developing environmental and health
and safety market.”, stated an enthusiastic Dr. Liu.
“I see only intensified efforts on both the part of
government and industry in the next five years to meet
the environmental goals detailed in the plan.”
EnSafe is hosting a formal open house and ribbon
cutting ceremony on Thursday, December 8, 2005 at their
new office in the Pudong District of Shanghai. For
