Response Plans for Protests & Civil Unrest
Many protests and demonstrations are planned in advance, but civil unrest often occurs spontaneously, creating unique challenges for organizations nearby.
In these situations, safety professionals have little time to identify potential threats and ensure employee safety.
However, there are response and mitigation strategies that every organization can put in place to protect their people, maintain business continuity, and stay informed during fluid situations.
Suzanne Bernier, President at SB Crisis Consulting, explains how both organizations and individuals can prepare and respond.
We discuss:
- Unique challenges associated with protests and civil unrest
- Mitigation and response strategies to protect your business and people
- The importance of having a crisis communication plan and a skilled spokesperson
- Safety tips to consider when attending a mass gathering
The Employee Safety Podcast is hosted by Peter Steinfeld, SVP of Safety Solutions at AlertMedia.
