Preparing your company for a CBRN incident... Why does my company need to prepare specific CBRN plans?
The likelihood of a CBRN is so low that planning for such an incident is an unnecessary expense... Wrong. The risk may be higher than you think and such planning brings other benefits: * Governments have warned that a terrorist CBRN event is a case of when, not if! * Employers have a duty and liability regarding employee safety under corporate governance and health and safety legislation! This is discharged by suitable hazard and risk assessments. CBR planning provides this element. * Unlike previous terror devices, CBRN agents will quickly spread through both buildings and vast areas well outside possible controls. * Government response cannot be available for all in minutes and may take days to complete. Resilience is essential and is achieved by controls and planning. * Unprotected buildings may face ingress of contamination and seven-figure decontamination costs taking months or years with many buildings being uneconomic to decontaminate. I don't know where to start... Cost effective help is at hand.

A
chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear incident will catapult
your company into the middle of a major contamination incident,
which will be beyond the scope of a conventional BCP. Specific actions
are required and unless you pre-plan your company will not be able
to respond quickly or appropriately.
