Introduction
Emergencies and crises are a part of life and can impact the workplace in many forms including heatwaves, fire, flood, criminal activity, equipment failure, hazardous material release, failure of utility services, medical and public health emergencies. Emergency events can introduce hazardous situations not normally encountered in day to day operations. Comprehensive emergency management training, plans and response procedures tailored to your workplace and industry ensures your organisation and staff are prepared for and can respond to emergencies. Implementing the necessary training, knowledge, instructions, command and control framework, resourcing and equipment ensures your organisation can respond effectively and recover afterwards.
