Recent emergencies and natural disasters all over the world highlight the critical role of an emergency plan in mitigating damages from natural disasters. Compliance with strict safety and work safety regulations has saved countless of lives and properties from further destruction and distress, proving the need for disaster preparedness.
Is an emergency plan one of your priorities this year?
If not, here are some reasons to get started or enhance your emergency planning efforts.
-
Improve disaster preparedness.
Natural disasters don’t choose a time or date – They can occur anywhere, anytime. Although we have little to no control over these calamities, we have the power to come up with ways to reduce their impact. Having an emergency plan is one effective way to reduce risks and improve safety and protection of people and facilities. All occupants in your facility must have adequate training, so they know what to do, how to stay calm, and where to run for safety when emergencies arise.
-
Meet your compliance obligations
Australia has established strict standards and regulations that govern planning for an emergency, with varying requirements for each state. These outline the pivotal roles of building owners, facility managers, and occupants to ensure a compliant emergency planning framework:
