ARGYLL AND BUTE COMMUNITY RISK REGISTER
OCTOBER 2013
Version 7 - Page 1 FOREWORD
The Strathclyde Emergencies Co-ordination Group (SECG) is the Strategic Co- ordinating Group (SCG) for Strathclyde as defined in the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 and is formed from those agencies having primary responsibilities to provide a response to any major incident or disaster within the Strathclyde area. The existence of the group is an acknowledgement that no single agency has all the skills and resources that may be needed to deal with a major incident and only by combining and co-ordinating can the best response be delivered.
The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 places a legal duty on Category 1 Responders within the Strategic Co-ordinating Group to co-operate with each other to compile a Community Risk Register. This register has been created to provide public information about the hazards that exist within the Strathclyde area and the control measures in place to mitigate their impact.
This document sets out the hazards that exist in the Argyll and Bute Local Working Group area and the control measures in place to mitigate their impact.
These hazards do not represent forecasts or predictions relating to particular incidents or sites but rather indicate the scale of potential problems relating to that type of hazard and for which relevant services and agencies may be expected to plan.

Version 7 - Page 3 Argyll and Bute Local Working Group
The Argyll and Bute Local Working Group (Community Risk Register Sub Group) comprises of representative from the following agencies:
Argyll and Bute Council NHS Highland Police Scotland The Met Office Scottish Fire and Rescue Service Scottish Environment Protection Agency Scottish Ambulance Service (SEPA)
The Argyll and Bute Council area covers a variety of towns and villages, with a population of approximately 90,000. The area covers 690,899 hectares mainly rural with many islands off the West coast. The risks identified, connected to hazardous sites in the Argyll and Bute area are mainly linked to HM Naval Base, Clyde; Oil Fuel Depots at Garelochhead, Loch Striven and Campbeltown; Finnart Ocean Terminal; Defence Munitions, Glen Douglas; and RNAD Coulport. There are also a number of small airports at Oban and Campbeltown and on the islands of Coll, Colonsay, Tiree and Islay, there is also has a large agricultural and tourist industry across the Council area.
Strathclyde Emergencies Co-ordination Group
Strathclyde Emergencies Co-ordination Group was formed in 1987 by those agencies, which have primary responsibility to provide a response to any major incident or disaster.
In the course of their normal business, partners in the SECG share common ground: -
Each is involved in the delivery of essential services to the Public Each serves, cares for and / or protects Each recognises that in the event of a major incident or disaster occurring there will be disruption to normal daily life and they have a public duty to provide a prompt and effective response to minimise the effects of the incident Each acknowledges that no single agency has all the necessary skills and resources required to deal with a major incident and only by combining these services can the best response be delivered The SECG’s strategy implements the philosophy of ‘Integrated Emergency Management’. This concentrates on the effects rather than the causes of disaster. The emergency services, local authorities, NHS Boards and public utilities, that comprise the SECG, recognise the benefits of a co-ordinated multi- agency approach which maximises their individual and collective responses thereby minimising the impact of any incident.
The Purpose of the Community Risk Registers
The Argyll and Bute Community Risk Register has been compiled by the SECG Argyll and Bute Local Working Group in accordance with the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (CCA) and its associated Regulations and Guidance as outlined in the Scottish Government document Preparing Scotland (2006)
Version 7 - Page 4 www.scotland.gov.uk/publications/2006/02/27140215 and as detailed in the UK Resilience website on www.ukresilience.gov.uk.
An ‘Emergency’ is defined in the CCA as ‘an event or situation which threatens serious damage to human welfare in a place in the UK, the environment of a place in the UK, or war or terrorism which threatens serious damage to the security of the UK’.
The Community Risk Register (CRR) is intended to inform the combined communities of all SECG member organisations of a range of potentially disruptive events that the responder agencies have considered and to confirm the state of preparedness to deal with the occurrence of such emergencies ensuring a swift return to normality. The CRR will provide a basis for the responder agencies to develop, implement and confirm emergency plans, to meet the requirements of the SECG.
The inclusion of a particular risk in the Community Risk Register does not necessarily indicate that the Argyll and Bute Local Working Group expect that the risk will lead to an actual event or occurrence, or occur at the scale described. The Risk Assessments have been made on credible worst case scenarios applied to identified hazards or threats that are present within the Argyll and Bute area.
How the CRR has been compiled
The areas of potential risk based on national guidance have been reviewed by the SECG and are listed in the register. Certain risk categories from the national guidance were not relevant to the Argyll and Bute area therefore excluded from this risk register. Likewise the SECG Argyll and Bute Local Working Group identified additional risks for inclusion therefore the numbering is inconsistent with the national guidance.
An assessment has been made of the Likelihood and Impact of an event occurring using historical and empirical evidence and projected occurrence data over a five year period, to give a Risk Rating.
Control Measures in Place
Within the Argyll and Bute area there are a number of site specific and generic plans prepared to cover areas that have been identified as a risk under legislation such as the Control of Major Accident Hazard Regulations 1999 (COMAH Regs), the Radiation Emergency Preparedness and Public Information Regulations 2001 (REPPIR) and Pipeline Safety Regulations 1996 (PSR), or from lessons learned from operational experiences. For the purpose of the column entitled “Controls in Place”, these plans are referred to as “Existing SECG Plans”.
In addition to the above plans, individual Category 1 and 2 Responders have their own generic response procedures which may be used. These are referred to as “Responder Generic Emergency Procedures”.
Version 7 - Page 5 Risk Assessment is not a static process and is subject to constant review. The information contained within this document will, as a result, be regularly updated.
Enquiries concerning the Community Risk Register should in the first instance be directed in writing to: -
