Businesses need to be prepared for a range of situations that their company could become impacted by so that they can ensure the safety of staff and customers, mitigate risks and minimize losses. Having strategies, systems, and the right tools in place to respond to critical incidents and other emergency situations can make a major difference in outcomes when an emergency situation actually occurs. Communication strategies, evacuation procedures, and training for employees are key to this as well as ensuring that the company has invested in the right resources to keep people safe.
