ABSTRACT

It is doubtful whether any industry can do away with emergency planning. Wherever there are workers there is always potential for human emergencies such as injury, illness, death, violence, and medical emergencies. The weather and environment can also cause natural emergencies such as storms, floods, earthquakes, and tornados. Man-made emergencies, such as fire, explosion, or chemical spills, cannot be overlooked either. The key is to be the best possibly prepared to react to any emergency. This requires a number of issues to be addressed.
