Terrorist attacks are well publicised but floods, fires, computer & power failures and other incidents affecting both physical assets and workforces are surprisingly commonplace. No responsible manager can afford to ignore the danger to employees, the loss of essential assets and the overall financial impact. Existing legislation (as well as standards imposed by Regulators such as the FSA) together with recent proposals for new legislation covering the management of major emergencies means that many companies will have to ensure that they are fully prepared for a disaster. Have you planned for the impact on your own areas of responsibility and across the organisation? Does your company have an up to date plan to deal with current threats?
