Emergency preparedness and security are cornerstones of NOVA Chemicals'
Responsible Care program. Our emphasis is on prevention, but as a chemical
manufacturer we recognize that each plant must be ready to respond to crisis
situations in order to protect the safety of our workers, the community and the environment. The company's Emergency Preparedness and Security Council ensures
that we have appropriate plans and procedures in place to manage security issues, emergencies or crises at all facilities.
