Evacuation Planning
As we all become more aware of the risks we face in the workplace or as event organisers it is critical to ensure the safety and health of all those who enter your workplace or attend your special event. Whether you run a small office, a large manufacturing business or are organising a community or major event, your focus will be on delivering your objectives on time and within budget. EMCS can assist you to develop to ensure your activities are safe and without risk to health. Regardless of the type of business you are in, you need to comply with relevant legislation, such as the Occupational Health and Safety Act covering your jurisdiction. Depending on the type of facility you operate your performance may be assessed for compliance with various standards such as those for building control organisations or relevant building safety regulations. EMCS can assist you to ensure you meet your obligations in these complex areas.
