Emergency Planning is an essential part of the loss prevention strategy. This is a preplan to handle any emergency situation effectively. Emergency planning is an integral part of the overall loss control program and is essential for any organization. The same is important for effective management of an accident /incident to minimize losses to people and property, both in and around the facility. The important aspect in emergency management is to prevent by technical and organizational measures, the unintentional escape and ignition of hazardous materials out of the facility and minimize accidents and losses. Not only unrecognized hazardous conditions which could aggravate an emergency situation be discovered, the emergency planning process also brings to light deficiencies such as lack of resources necessary for effective emergency response. Emergency planning also demonstrates the organization’s commitment to the safety of employees and increases the organization’s safety awareness.
