ABSTRACT
The crisis team should be made up of senior management with the authority to act quickly and decisively in the face of both ‘sudden’ and ‘simmering’ situations which could have a negative impact on the well-being of the company or organization. The exact composition will depend heavily on the type of operation you have, but the following set-up is applicable to most:
Chairperson
Deputy chairperson
Human resources
Finance
Legal and insurance
Communications
Operations
Health, safety and environment
Record-keeper (preferably a senior PA or secretary).
