Nautical Term: NCEC
Definition of NCEC
The National Chemical Emergency Centre (NCEC) is a specialized organization designed to coordinate and respond to chemical emergencies in the United Kingdom. The NCEC provides a single point of contact for reporting chemical incidents, and it collaborates with a network of emergency services, industry experts, and laboratories to provide effective and timely responses to chemical emergencies.
For instance, if there was a suspicious odor emanating from a chemical storage facility, the emergency services team would contact the NCEC to report the incident. The NCEC would then coordinate with the emergency services team and other relevant stakeholders to assess the situation, identify any potential hazards, and implement appropriate measures to contain and mitigate the effects of the chemical emergency.
