Designing Effective Emergency Workplace Plans

Why Should You Attend:

• Are all your employees trained and prepared to respond to unexpected events?
• Is your emergency plan, that looks impressive on paper, effective in the event of an actual emergency?

Since by its very definition an emergency is unexpected, an employer must have planned for the skilled intervention necessary in most emergencies to prevent the situation from worsening. What may have started as a small or simple emergency can almost guaranteed to be exacerbated by a lack of knowledge in how to intervene. Many emergencies can affect customers and other bystanders as well.

This webinar will help you develop or review your existing workplace emergency plan to cover a wide variety of applicable situations with its goal of making the workplace safe. You will learn how to design a plan for every workplace or site to minimize injury and loss of human life and company resources by identifying risks, identifying resources, training employees and assigning responsibilities.
