Why Do I Need Emergency Response Safety Training?
From tornadoes to civil unrest, emergencies can occur no matter where you live. While many natural disasters and emergencies are not preventable, it is important to know what steps you should take to prepare for such events, as well as what you should do to increase the chances of your survival during and after the emergency. Being informed and having a plan to follow could possibly save your life.
When it comes to refresher health and safety training, the standards in some instances (like forklifts) are very specific: operators must be re-evaluated every three years to see if they are still competent to operate the equipment. Best practices say to apply this same rule to all types of equipment. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that prove continued competency.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do to be prepared for an emergency?
Awareness and preparedness could save your life. You can be ready for an emergency or extreme weather event by becoming informed about the types of emergencies that could occur in your area, making a plan with details about how you will respond, and assembling a kit of emergency supplies.
What plans should I make for my pet in the event of an emergency?
Most emergency public shelters will not allow pets, with service animals being the exception. Prepare a list of family, friends, veterinarians, boarding facilities, and pet-friendly hotels where you could shelter with your pets during an emergency.
What should I do after an emergency situation?
This may be an overwhelming time, emotionally and physically, but you must remain calm. If you or those around you have been injured, contact emergency services. Try to avoid driving right after a disaster to allow room for emergency services to respond.
How can I help clean up after an emergency situation?
It may be tempting to get as much work done as quickly as possible after the disaster, especially if you are helping with cleanup or search and rescue efforts. Take precautions with your own health and well-being. Work at a steady, sustainable pace with plenty of breaks for hydration and healthy meals.
