It is required by law. In case of an incident, it may be important to evacuate a building or the site and for employees to gather at the assembly areas outside the fences. To alert employees that they must leave a building or the premises, an acoustic signal, a siren, has been chosen.
Sirens have been placed in each building and in some places outside on the premises. The sound of the sirens placed outside can possibly also be heard in the immediate vicinity of the plant, depending on (weather) conditions.
