Effective Crisis Management - following a major accident /incident

Having examined the internal aspects of health and safety investigations at the August 2013 meeting, this follow on session aims to give a holistic overview of preparing for effective crisis management with a specific focus on the external health and safety investigation.

Taking a similar format as before we'll look at the ‘pre, during and post phases'.

This will cover:-

• What you MUST have in your Crisis Management Procedures.
• What the regulator's powers really are.
• Understanding and coping with an external investigation.
• How you handle document and interview requests, what is reasonable and what isn't.
• How you action the lessons learnt and show leadership for the future.

Finishing on a discussion of INDG417 "Leading in Health and Safety" the seminar aims to walk attendees through the process whilst at the same time acknowledging that major accidents/incidents are real and traumatic events with very significant human, organisational, financial and legal implications.

We can only learn through a willingness to embrace knowledge and this seminar aims to facilitate just that.

Speaker: Ashleigh Birkett, Associate, Carson McDowell
Supported by: Tom Stephenson, Balcas
