Manmade and natural disasters occur without a moment�s notice and always catch you unaware. Unfortunately, people don�t usually think about the likelihood of disasters ahead of time. As the saying goes, it is better to be safe than sorry, it is important that you prepare for the worst ahead of time. Studies have shown that people who have prepared and are equipped for disasters have come out of them less affected that those who have not. This is true in all disaster cases, be it plane accidents or accidents on the ground like hurricanes and earthquakes; when people have been prepared, they have fared well (or better than average, most often).
Disaster preparedness training is important if you want to prepare yourself and your loved ones in case of any unforeseen disasters. Disaster preparedness training is also essential for office and business employees. Here are five points about disaster preparedness training for offices and business centers.
� Although disaster preparedness training is important for every family, it should be a special consideration for offices and other work places. The employers are responsible for the lives of other people and therefore it is up to them to organize an appropriate response in case of unexpected situations. Offices must be equipped with adequate kits and supplies, while also ensuring that employees get to attend disaster preparedness training sessions.
� The first step is to invest in some high quality disaster preparedness supplies and kits. Those supplies that are designed by emergency personnel and first responders are always of superior quality as they are the ones who have tons of field experiences in dealing with unimaginable disaster situations.
� As an employer, you should approach the local fire department to provide training classes for disaster preparedness for your employees. The fire fighters will also provide you with the needed supplies. For instance, a corporate disaster kit will include water, food, sanitation materials, medical supplies, and other necessary tools. There are special kits for schools too that include water pouches, snacks, basic first aid, and a light stick.
� Employers must make sure that the disaster plan for their organization is foolproof. It is good to appoint a disaster preparedness coordinator so he can himself learn and then teach others regarding strategies and best practices for evacuation and triage, along with professional first aid techniques.
� Select a few of your employees along with the disaster preparedness coordinator to be a part of the disaster team. In case of disasters occurring, they will be skilled to lead evacuations and conduct rescues as there may be a lot of chaos and it may take time for the first responders to arrive at the scene. The members of this must also be trained in CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), first aid, and how to differentiate between minor and major injuries.
Risk management is a vital part of the corporate world. Most times this is limited to reputational risk, financial risk, and so on. Risk management for business should also consider risk to property and people as a result of natural and manmade disasters. Adequate disaster preparedness training for employees is very beneficial in lowering the risk of injuries and death, and property damage that unforeseen circumstances may cause.
