Course Title: SHE Emergencies in the Workplace
Fires, explosions, chemical releases, violence or biological releases pose a threat to everyone in your organization’s facilities. One way to ensure the safety of all affected populations and reduce the risk to your organization is to have an evacuation plan. The beauty of this strategy is that even the smallest organization operating with meager resources can afford to develop and implement an evacuation plan. The downside is you can’t afford not to implement it.
One of the most devastating losses to an organization is the loss of human life. Not only is it emotionally depleting, it can involve adverse publicity, large settlements, loss of organizational leadership, and the inability to deliver programs or services.
Thus, your emergency evacuation plan can make life-or-death differences for your staff, volunteers, visitors, vendors and program participants. It could also mean life or death for your mission.
