Emergency Preparedness
Developing and understanding the intricacies of emergency response and command is required for developing, upgrading and modifying, and auditing of emergency response programs.
Emergency response requires understanding of realistic and residual corporate risks identified through corporate risk assessments, PHAs or other methods.
Emergencies are often short-lived, and workers need understanding of:
- what they are to do,
- in what order to do it, and
- why.
Emergency response plans should meet the applicable standards. However, workers still need:
- Intimate knowledge of the risks and controls in an emergency
- To have key resources understood and available
- Have maps that are easy to share
- Checklists/ICS forms to use, and
- Key contact numbers managed.
Peak can help direct your company to meet requirements of standards and to have an effective and efficient emergency preparedness program.
