Do you have enough provisions in case of a natural disaster? Like we mentioned earlier, this is one of the hazards that we do not anticipate, but we need to be prepared for it. Sometimes, a situation can suddenly escalate to a life-threatening emergency.

Catastrophic weather conditions like storm and hurricane, a fire break-out or a chemical spill can happen without any warning. To deal with such situations, basic disaster management training must be given to the employees so that they are aware of the shelter and meeting/refuge areas, and evacuation routes.

You can conduct drills where employees have to rush to the nearest shelter or hide somewhere safe. Fire drills and shootout drills must be conducted once in a while to remind the employees of the safety precautions to take during an emergency.

This kind of live workplace health and safety training helps them understand the grievousness of the situation, make a calculated move towards safety and help others along the way. Such drills can also be simulated in a mobile training, but you can do that prior to the real training, giving them an idea of what the situation will be like. Disaster management is a skill which does not come to use very often, but when it does, it could save many lives.
