Assessing your risks

Violence in the workplace, severe weather, fire floods,
Hazardous materials, epidemic loss of heat, water or electricity

Many people, when discussing emergency management, focus on major events such as hurricanes, earthquakes and bomb threats. While those threats may be valid risks, there are also many other incidents that can affect your organization and your staff drastically.

Examining mitigation procedures

Transportation Methods, Plant Processes, Back-up Systems, Employee Training, Security

What can be done to prevent a potential incident or reduce the risk? An objective and trained facilitator can work with staff to discover lower risk alternatives in many cases.

Creating an Incident Management System

Incident Manager – Liaison – Operations – Planning - Safety & Security
Public Relations – Administration - Communications
Roles & Responsibility

A written set of policies and procedures that address seven key functions combine to create a comprehensive system. The Incident Management System is designed to be scalable and appropriate for all hazards. It outlines common lines of communications and integration with other agencies. This system will avoid confusion and provide a strategic and calming action plan in the midst of chaos.

Training staff

Who does what? What gets done? Where does it get done?
When does it get done? How does it get done?

Once a plan has been put into place, the people who would actually have to carry out the tasks in an emergency have to be identified and trained. In many organizations all staff should receive a minimum level of training to protect patients, students or clients.

Establishing a recovery plan

Staffing requirements, Broken machinery, Delayed deliveries,
Damaged workspace, Post-traumatic stresses, Negative media

How do you get things back to normal as soon as possible?
