San Diego CA -- More than 50 percent of employees say their company is not adequately prepared to respond to an emergency, according to a survey conducted this year by Staples, the office supply retailer, and a vendor of emergency response products exhibiting at the National Safety Congress and Expo here in San Diego.
Robert Risk, national sales manager, safety, for Staples Facility Solutions, told ISHN emergency response is all about the 4 Ps – plan, procure (products necessary – food, cots, lighting, cell phone crank up battery chargers, etc), prepare and practice. Too many companies have plans that are not shared with employees, or perhaps disseminated by email that is too easy to ignore.
