Integrated safety, health and environmental management

Introduction

Life is full of risk. We encounter many uncalculated outcomes, some beneficial and others adverse. Businesses, especially in the financial context, often consider risk in terms of opportunities for gain. Risk in our context is a way of describing the probability and consequences of harm, or at worst a disaster.

An integral part of management systems is emergency preparedness – the management of emergencies and disasters.
