Publisher's Description:
Updated to reflect the changes in workplace emergency management, this Second Edition helps you assess your exposure to disasters and formulate OSHA- and EPA-compliant plans that reduce the risk of losses. In addition to revisiting common disasters such as fires, explosions, floods, earthquakes, and transportation incidents, this new edition reflects and examines changes made to emergency preparedness and mitigation efforts. Author William Stringfield provides new and updated information on terrorism, federal response, workplace violence, civil disturbances, sabotage, and hazardous responder competencies. He also provides new information on insurance, loans, and the Small Business Administration; techniques for managing computer threats and viruses; and new disaster planning and management contact information.

Using this reference as your guide, you'll learn how to assess your business' vulnerability to disasters, evaluate planning considerations, preserve records, and avoid the fate of those businesses that do not prepare and ultimately do not survive. In addition, you'll learn about your federal obligations under Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 29 (OSHA), Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) Title III, CFR Title 40 (Environment), and the National Fire Protection Association. A sample emergency action plan, appendices, a glossary, and an index are included to ensure complete planning and preparation. Newly added Internet resources are also included.
