The Challenge
Every drill builds a growing database of reports the refinery can analyze to continuously improve its emergency readiness and response
With 28 separate operating units, the refinery doesn’t face emergencies one at a time. It faces the real possibility of multiple incidents unfolding simultaneously, across different units, with different scopes and different response needs. Treating the entire site as a single unit during an event would mean unnecessarily halting production across areas with no connection to the incident, creating enormous financial consequences.
The standard alternative makes the problem worse. Radio-based headcounts give emergency responders numbers, not names, leaving them without real-time visibility into exactly who is affected or where. At the unit level, paper sign-in logs don’t reflect who is actually inside a unit when an incident occurs.
That same complexity extends to readiness, not just response. Running effective drills across 28 units, regularly enough to keep personnel prepared, is a scheduling and logistics challenge on its own. The question wasn’t just whether the refinery could track people during a real emergency, but whether they could practice for one without disrupting the rest of an active site.
The Solution
AllClear Unit Accountability and Emergency Mustering Software for Multi-Unit, Simultaneous Emergency Management
The platform mirrors how the site actually operates, not as a single block, but as many interconnected units that run independently.
Multiple emergencies can be run across different units at the same time, rather than forcing every incident into a single, sitewide event.
Each unit generates its own real-time and historical reporting, giving responders accurate, isolated visibility into exactly who is affected and where.
An event can start small and expand with the actual scope of the emergency, from a single unit up to a broader response, without losing track of the response process.
The same unit-level flexibility that manages real emergencies makes it practical to run drills in every unit and every quarter, building readiness without disrupting operations.
The Result
For a site this size, AllClear isn’t just a mustering tool; it’s the infrastructure that lets emergency response match the actual scale and shape of an incident, rather than the other way around.
The refinery can now respond to an emergency in one unit without disrupting the other 27, protecting both safety and productivity at the same time. And because every quarterly drill runs through AllClear, each one adds to a growing database of drill reports. Rather than treating drills as a compliance checkbox, the refinery can analyze this data over time to identify patterns, target weak points, and continuously strengthen its emergency readiness and response, unit by unit, quarter by quarter.
