YOUR INDUSTRY: Corporate

Safety isn't just for crane operators and tank mechanics. Corporate offices face safety challenges on a daily basis as evidenced by their comp charges. Being proactive in a corporate office environment includes having a robust emergency evacuation program (especially offices in high rise buildings), disaster preparedness/business continuity planning, workplace first aid and CPR/AED training. Other situations may warrant training in bloodborne pathogens, emergency oxygen administration, hazcom, fire safety, among others.

How quickly your company can get back to business after a terrorist attack, a tornado, a fire, or a flood often depends on emergency planning done today. When you also consider that the number of declared major disasters nearly doubled in the 1990's compared to the previous decade, preparedness becomes an even more critical issue. Though each situation is unique, any organization can be better prepared if it plans carefully, puts emergency procedures in place, and practices for emergencies of all kinds.

Getting back to business after a disaster depends on preparedness planning done today. Small business owners invest a tremendous amount of time, money and resources to make their ventures successful, and yet, while the importance of emergency planning may seem self-evident, it may get put on the back-burner in the face of more immediate concerns. For small business owners, being prepared can mean staying in business following a disaster. An estimated 25 percent of businesses do not reopen following a major disaster, according to the Institute for Business and Home Safety.

Developing Automated External Defibrillator programs is another step in the right direction companies have been taking over the last decade. The American Heart Association and OSHA both encourage companies to have AEDs and employees trained in their use and is mandated by law according to some state and local legislation for certain types of businesses.
