EMERGENCY PLANNING
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The importance of an effective workplace safety and health program cannot be overemphasized. However, even with a comprehensive safety system in place, incidents can still occur in spite of efforts to prevent them. This course is designed to provide guidance to employers that need to set up an emergency response plan and wish to have guidelines for creating a plan or to audit their existing plan. Also, this presentation will improve employees’ knowledge and heighten their awareness of the basic information and pre-planning needs they must be accountable for within their specific work areas to be properly prepared for an emergency.
