Why Should My Business Have a Plan?
In the event of an emergency such as a fire or ammonia leak, you need to have plan to get your staff and customers to safety quickly. Create an Emergency Plan that identifies who will sound the alarm, who calls 911, and who looks after getting everyone safely to the muster point. Make sure everyone knows their role and that you practice your plan on a regular basis.
Not all risks are insurable. Being unable to provide your products and services to your customers can seriously hurt your business reputation. A Business Continuity Plan is the least expensive insurance any company can have.
- Remain competitive by staying open for business.
- Reduce the financial losses you may incur.
- Identify the weaknesses within your business.
- Improve your dealings with banks, creditors, investors, and insurers by showcasing your appetite for business resilience.
- Protect staff and customers from harm.
Disasters big and small happen without warning. Having a plan in place before a disruption can make for a more effective response and faster recovery.
While you are out of business, your competition may still be operating.
