Emergency Responders

CPChem’s Emergency Response Teams (ERTs) provide on-site support in the event of an emergency to help keep people safe and minimize impact to the environment. It is critical for employee first responders to complete frequent, hands-on, high-quality training to maximize the preparedness of these front-line teams.

ERTs are trained and equipped for exterior firefighting, interior firefighting, confined space and high-angle rescue, vehicle extrication and medical events. We are proud of CPChem responders who champion safe and prepared communities.

“Our highly skilled emergency response teams are critical for ensuring the safety of people and the environment during an emergency. I am grateful to be a member of my facility’s emergency response team, and we stand ready to protect our colleagues and community.”

Sharing Safety with Students

In recognition of Fire Prevention Week last October, Cedar Bayou and Pasadena facilities’ ERTs visited local elementary schools and met with students to share important safety information and demonstrate best practices for use at school and at home.

Top Marks Earned in Mock Rescue Competition

Emergency responders from the Cedar Bayou Plant earned top marks for their performance in annual rescue challenges during the 2023 International Rescue & Emergency Care Association (IRECA) and (Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service) TEEX conference. The 2023 IRECA and TEEX Conference featured a full week of rescue and medical challenges along with the opportunity to learn with and compete against some of the top teams in the nation.
