Crisis Management and Crisis Planning

When a crisis incident or major event occurs is your organisation ready to respond?  Having appropriate measures in place and an ability to respond quickly can often prevent escalation of an incident into a crisis that could compromise safety of individuals and assets, lose reputation and diminish integrity.

Characteristics of Incidents:

  • Lack of accurate information.
  • Number of interested parties.
  • Conflict of self-interests.
  • Public concern.
  • Speed of events/duration.
  • Costs and damages.
  • Liabilities.

Crisis Planning requires:

  • Awareness of an event.
  • A decision making body.
  • Means to implement decisions reached.
  • Control of information flow.
  • Ability to deploy key individuals and support.

Through this experience we are able to offer a similar service to our other clients.

By planning in advance the aim of Crisis Link is to minimise the effect of any incident by producing a strategy and plan to be utilised in the event of an incident occurring. By working together with the clients’ key personnel and by utilising our team of consultants we are able to provide cost effective solutions. Advance planning can be followed up by training courses and site assessments to ensure measures are up to date and suitable for application within a client’s organisation.
