A business survival "checklist," Emergency Preparedness for Facilities provides step-by-step instructions for developing prevention and response plans for all types of emergencies and disasters. It helps you create an organization-wide emergency management plan that ensures that all procedures are in place and all equipment and personnel needs are addressed so that your company can respond to an emergency situation quickly and instinctively. You will feel confident that your employees are trained and prepared to put your company's plan into action and protect all workers, property, and the life of the company in the face of any natural or non-natural event. The author identifies and examines nineteen natural and non-natural emergencies-defined as anything that disrupts an organization, including power outages, chemical spills, bomb threats, riots or demonstrations, workplace violence, fires, droughts, and blizzards or floods-and provides two case studies for each. He also provides detailed instructions on what to do if faced with each emergency. This book references and explains all relevant OSHA requirements, including the completion of OSHA Forms 300, 301, and 300A after an accident. It includes a companion CD-ROM that the forms and templates you need to prepare for an emergency and to create a complete emergency preparedness plan.
