TECH EXAM FRIDAY, AUGUST 8 at 11:30 AM.
PLEASE MAKE TRAVEL PLANS ACCORDINGLY.
Safety and security professionals along with facilities
and information systems personnel are typically expected
to be the "first responders" to disasters
that occur in the workplace. This course will
detail planning that can be done regardless of organizational
structure to facilitate emergency response and subsequent
recovery from a workplace disaster. It will focus
on preparation, response, and post-event activities
for emergencies that could likely occur in a company
setting. This focus could prevent many disasters
and work well in planning and preparing the community
responders to a facility. It will draw upon the
5-step model of the risk management decision making
process and a model for safety and security operations
that facilitate community response. Much of the
course will draw upon experiences with major fires,
hazardous waste spills, explosions, major hurricanes,
and miscellaneous events like on the job death, death
threats and many other incidents averted with planning. Case
examples will be used and class participation will
be encouraged.
