No one ever thinks or expects a workplace emergency will happen to them, but the simple truth is that can strike at anytime.
Are you prepared for a workplace emergency?
Osha defines a workplace emergency as an unforeseen situation that threatens your employees, customers, or the public; disrupts or shuts down your operations; or causes physical or environmental damage. Emergencies may be natural or manmade and include the following:
- Floods,
- Hurricanes,
- Tornadoes,
- Fires,
- Toxic gas releases,
- Chemical spills,
- Radiological accidents,
- Explosions,
- Civil disturbances, and
- Workplace violence resulting in bodily harm and trauma.
When the emergency hits, do you have a plan in place?
Being prepared for an emergency is to prepare before the emergency ever happens. By have protocols in place, that will strategically and tactically specify what you will do, who will do it, so before an emergency you can respond clearly and logically to the crisis. When you prepare ahead of time you can be completely thorough and leave no stone unturned on how to respond the best and most appropriately.
