 Emergency
system health check and risk assessment
Recent terrorist attacks around the world make it imperative that
organisations have effective emergency plans and procedures to protect
their staff and visitors.
Most organisations have an emergency plan. However, surveys show that
organisations rarely test evacuation and internal evacuation procedures
beyond the statutory fire evacuation drill.
These drills give false comfort. Relying on building designs and
procedures developed to deal with fires is inadequate to address bomb or other threats
is inadequate.
Even when bomb threat procedures are well developed they not sufficient
or reliable until tested.
The lack of audits & drills, analysis, and adequate training often mean
that the plans won’t work or are less effective than they should be in
saving lives.
What is needed is an assessment of the Emergency “System”.
The
Emergency System
The Emergency System is the combination of procedures, people,
technology, and environment that make up a plan and determine how
effective an emergency response will be. The System must be risk
assessed.
System
Risk Assessment
It is our experience that the emergency plans are developed to meet a
perceived risk but plans themselves are rarely risk-assessed to
understand their potential weaknesses. Failing to
understand and manage the risks in the emergency plan has implications
for compliance with legal and corporate governance requirements.
The outcomes of this service include an action plan to make the
emergency system effective and robust.
