‘Business Checklist for Pandemic Flu Planning’

The UK Cabinet Office has published a checklist to help businesses with pandemic ‘flu planning. The foreword to the checklist spells out that the government “recommends that all organisations adopt robust and flexible generic business continuity management arrangements which will help ensure that the impact of any disruptions will be minimised”.

The ‘Business Checklist for Pandemic Flu Planning’ checklist has been prepared by the Cabinet Office in conjunction with the CBI, the Institute of Directors, British Chamber of Commerce and others. It has been designed to provide a simple reference tool for businesses which also allows the benchmarking of the current state of planning preparedness.

The checklist is “intended to work in partnership with more specific guidance already issued by the government” and, although it is primarily aimed at large and medium size businesses, local authorities and small businesses will also find aspects of the checklist helpful.
