Hi All

Just wondered if anyone has a template (preferably the more simple the better) for the above they would care to share?

Also I'm struggling to think of what type of emergency might realistically (?) befall us? Is there a general list of emergencies one should consider when drafting such a plan?

I once worked on a construction site where an emergency plan for the possibility of a plane crashing onto the work site had to be written... Hence not sure where to draw the line!

Any other thoughts, comments or guidance would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance, Kay

Kay, brainstorm what scenarios may lead you to dial 999 or compel you to ring your directors at 4AM on a mid-January morning. These will be high-impact but low-frequency events (hopefully).

You plan then will be a set of procedures designed to minimise further harm, not only to any affected personnel but also the organisation and should include a comprehensive communications plan, media response and how to deal with affected families.

Much more than that and you are entering the realms of disaster recovery and contingency planning, subjects which need much more in-depth thought and arrangements.

My list is
Accident or medical emergency
Fire
Spill
Intruder or security threat
Flood

each with its own mini-procedure.
Keep it simple, define who is responsible for what and don't forget to state the obvious (like "call 999" and the site address - people can forget this under pressure!)

Kay PM me your email addy - I can send you something
