As safety professionals, we have either experienced or understand how emergencies and disasters can affect the physical and emotional well being of the employees we support. We prepare regularly to manage the affects of these incidents through employee training, procedure development and capital investment on appropriate emergency notification or control systems. With these controls and the ongoing testing of their effectiveness, we provide our employers a defense against the adverse impact from various potential natural and man-made risks. The continued impact of the tragic disasters of 9/11/01 on the business and safety community has been well documented. The most positive impact from those events has been an overall expansion in the awareness of the need to assure employee safety and security. However, what has also happened is that employers are realizing that systems need to be in place for managing their business concerns as well.
