Training

Training is essential so members of emergency management and business continuity teams can execute plans and procedures to protect people, property, operations, and the environment. Training is also essential so employees are aware of their responsibilities for loss prevention, safety, and security as well as what to do during an emergency.

Training creates awareness and is needed to enhance the skills required to develop, implement, maintain, and execute the emergency management and business continuity program. Awareness is required of everyone to understand their role in prevention and mitigation as well as response to and recovery from emergencies. Awareness includes understanding company safety and health policies and procedures, fire prevention program, hazardous materials management plan, security program, vital records program, and others.

Numerous regulations specify training requirements particularly for employee safety and health, loss prevention, and emergency response activities. These include Occupational Safety & Health Administration standards and National Fire Protection Association standards. In addition, training is required by model fire prevention codes and local ordinances. Business continuity training is specified in professional practices and within industry standards.

Training SessionPreparedness, LLC can help you develop a comprehensive training program for all employees. We can develop baseline training on protective actions for life safety including evacuation, shelter-in-place, and lockdown. We can also develop employee awareness programs that cover loss prevention, safety, and security. We can develop a training program for members of your emergency response and business continuity teams customized to your hazard profile, company policies, and emergency response and business continuity procedures. We would also address regulatory requirements and industry practices.

Don Schmidt, CEO of Preparedness, LLC, is also a member of the National Fire Protection Association's professional development faculty. He teaches their two-day course on how to develop, implement, and evaluate an emergency management and business continuity program following NFPA 1600.
