Business Continuity Planning and Emergency Procedures

The reality of terrorist attacks in London and Glasgow and governments around the world openly saying that further attacks cannot be ruled out also that global warming is a significant threat to the security of each country it must make sense to factor measures into your companies forward planning that will limit the impact of such events on future business development.

AEGIS Associates have worked closely with both the Scottish Ambulance Service and the Hereford and Worcester Ambulance Service NHS Trust in respect of planning for the health and safety of their employees, we are also heavily involved with Kenyon International Emergency Services who are working with Local Authorities in the UK to assist them to cope with emergency scenarios.

UK health and safety law requires all employers to have an emergency plan in place for the safety of their employees and we at AEGIS Associates are able to help your organisation to comply with this requirement by working with you to not only to plan for the protection of your employees but also by prudent business continuity planning to minimise the possible financial implications of an emergency on your company.

The first health and safety team into Thailand

AEGIS Associates are the retained health and safety advisers to Kenyon International Emergency Services who had been contracted by the Australian Federal Police to provide temporary mortuary backup services at Taukua Pa and Krabi, Kenyon also constructed a purpose built International Repatriation Centre close to Phuket airport.

Kenyon First Responders went into Thailand on the 27th December and we received a request to assist on site on 6th January, the main concern of Kenyon Managers was that the Thai Authorities were using chemical sprays to deal with flies, mosquitoes and smells and no-one knew what chemicals were being used particularly as some had been donated by countries such as China and deciphering container labels was quite a challenge.

However within a week of arriving on site we had managed to locate the suppliers of 95% of the chemicals being used and obtained safety data sheets in English from which we could provide advice on the PPE that was necessary.

We also provided general safety advice for Kenyon employees on both sites, it was a challenging task but good to have been able to assist Kenyon personnel return home free from injury or disease.
