Emergency Preparedness
Every factory has to prepare for an emergency before it happens. Proper emergency preparedness can prevent casualties, deteriorating health conditions and property damage as well as the legal and financial consequences. Emergency infrastructure is needed (e.g. alarms, first aid kits, emergency lights, etc). But that is not all. Safety must always be put first! This means that the evacuation of the workforce must not be stopped or delayed when an alarm rings.
