EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM TRAINING (2 DAYS)

1. INTRODUCTION

Emergency situations can be fire, chemical spill, toxic release, flood,

earthquake and etc. Costs related to emergencies can significantly impact an
organization’s financial health. A significant amount of money has been lost in
many parts of the world due to the effects of emergencies. Apart from reducing
spending on emergencies, an effective response to any types of emergencies
will also result in fewer and less severe injuries or illnesses or damages to
properties.

Emergencies have to be managed. A well established and implemented

emergency management program always helps in reducing injuries, ill-health
and damage to properties. In the long run, it has the capability to enhance the
overall health and safety performance and also the business continuity of the
organization.

emergency management in an organization and to take the necessary
approaches to establish, implement and maintain it in line with the ISO
