Earthquakes, Floods, Fires Oh My!

This presentation will help you learn how to create a comprehensive business continuity and emergency management plan for a manufacturing setting. Many companies and environmental health and safety professionals don’t have a plan or a functional one. Many people don’t start the process because the idea of writing one from scratch can seem like a herculean task. This presentation will discuss how to start, how long it will take, where to find information, who to use as reviewers, and how to ensure your plan is integrated into both your business and insurance systems. This presentation focuses on natural and man-made disasters that arise in a manufacturing setting that is located on the west coast. The sub-plans covered in this presentation are fire, flood, earthquake, chemical spill, and freeze. This presentation will also provide guidance on how to integrate it into your current business practices, communicate and train key staff, and suggest ways to keep your document as an active and viable tool in today’s ever changing conditions.
