“The Disaster Cycle”

 

An essential part of any operational Company’s management system is to ensure fast, effective Emergency Response at sites and Emergency Management from regional bases and company headquarters.

CW International has been at the forefront in leading its Clients to establish and then maintain effective Emergency Management Systems. This includes setting up initial systems, reviewing and improving current systems or simply providing specific services to help Clients apply, maintain and/or check their own systems.

Emergency Management System Summary: An effective Emergency Management System is essentially a sub-set of a Company’s HSE MS and can be structured similarly but also address the elements of Prevention & Mitigation, Preparation, Response and Recovery described in the ‘Disaster Cycle’.  Will address: 

·         Leadership and Commitment

·         Policies & Objectives

·         Risk Assessment & Planning
