Emergency preparedness, response, and recovery

The Employee Safety Conference will catalyse industry connection as well as process innovation"

“It’s no longer an option to reactively respond to an emergency or crisis of any kind,” said Elizabeth Loucheur, COO at AlertMedia.

“Our goal is to provide organisations with the tools and resources required to successfully navigate any emergency or operational incident that may impact their people or business. The Employee Safety Conference will serve as a catalyst for industry connection as well as process innovation when it comes to emergency preparedness, response, and recovery.” 

Minimise loss and ensure operational resiliency

From severe weather to civil unrest to public health crises, the current evolving threat landscape has prompted more organisations to bolster their emergency preparedness and employee safety procedures to minimise loss and ensure operational resiliency.

In fact, According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), businesses see an average return of $4 to $6 for every dollar invested in their workplace safety programmes. Furthermore, companies that offer exemplary safety, health, and environmental programs outperform the S&P 500 by between 3 and 5 percent.
