Emergency readiness
Emergencies and disasters can occur any time without warning. Being prepared can minimize panic and confusion when an emergency occurs. Relatively speaking, small businesses may have more to lose than large companies when a disaster — natural or otherwise — strikes. Because of high costs or lack of resources, many smaller companies have less rigorous business-continuity plans in place, and some have no formal processes at all.
WorkSafeBC has prepared this guide to help for small businesses make sure they have a plan in place.
The requirements for emergency preparedness and response are described in sections 4.13 through 4.18 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation.
