JBA has developed a web-based document management system for the Northeast Region of the Environment Agency to provide a centralised facility for editing and publishing their Emergency Response Procedures documents.  

These documents were previously maintained independently and in disparate databases and MS Word documents. The system provides the operation and maintenance technical support team with a method of adding and maintaining existing Emergency Response Procedures and ensuring that these are always up to date and consistent. Once edits are finalised and quality-assured, PDF versions of individual Emergency Response Procedures and the full Emergency Response Procedure Manual can be generated.  Version control is included in the system and an audit trail of changes to the procedure is available to administrators.  Dissemination of the procedures is automated and includes an automated acknowledgement of the documents.

JBA is currently refining the Emergency Response Procedures Manual under a further commission.
