The ERP and CERP are reviewed annually. The contact lists in the ERP are reviewed and updated monthly. The EMS Administrator is responsible for managing and tracking these updates and physically updating each of the controlled copies of the ERP. The ERP and CERP were last updated in June 2010. Mock drills are conducted annually and as discussed in Section 6.3 mock drills undertaken since the last audit were performed in 13 August 2008 and 7 October 2009. A table top drill was also undertaken in November 2009. The CERP is required to be reviewed and revised as necessary after any incident and following annual mock cyanide emergency drills. Although no cyanide related incidents have occurred since the 2007 audit, review of an incident of a non -work related death of a contract worker in 2009 showed that a number of changes were made to the roles and responsibilities of the emergency response team following analysis of the incident response and the ERP was updated accordingly followed by a table top drill to test how the changes were being implemented. 8.
