Emergency Preparedness

This is a very important subject as every business could experience some type of emergency crisis from fire or a natural disaster. Emergency preparedness will help to minimize human, property, and economic losses caused by any such hazardous event.

Any business would be wise to proceed, step by step, through a process to develop an appropriate emergency plan. Company rules and procedures should be easy to understand and perform, but more importantly, workers must be encouraged and trained to buy into the company’s emergency planning that is designed to protect their safety. They must understand that forethought, planning and compliance will help everyone survive any unforeseen disaster.

Do you have a safe escape route? Get out quickly. But first, sound the alarm. However, if you decide to fight a small fire use the correct alpha rated fire extinguishers. The proper training for the use of these extinguishers is highlighted here together with many other fire prevention measures. An optional item, “How to deal with Home Fires” is included.	Watch out for people who don’t hear the alarm. Accounting for everybody’s safety after an evacuation is a major responsibility. Sometimes employees work in unfamiliar noisy surroundings or are using personal protective equipment that could prevent them from hearing an alarm. Teach employees how to operate “buddy systems” with workers watching out for each other. Visitors may also be present; look out for them too.	Forethought and planning will help us survive a natural disaster. We saw it on TV but what would you do if Hurricane Katrina hit your “neck of the woods”??? An Emergency Action Plan is necessary; you cannot just rely on Government intervention. This topic offers a checklist of questions you never dreamed about so use it wisely to minimize any disaster’s impact!
