Responding to a Natural Disaster
Are you prepared?
Safety in a Natural Disaster
With the aftermath of Hurricane Isaac on everyone's mind, response and recovery work in these impacted areas presents some safety and health issues. All employers are responsible for their employees' safety when responding to natural disaster such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and tornadoes. This brings about the question, "Is your company prepared?"
Join presenter Randy Donaldson on October 2, 2012 at ENERGY worldnet, Inc.'s Annual Conference & Expo to learn how to operate and maintain the systems while responding to a natural disaster on a scale never experienced.
Randy will be sharing his experiences in the 137 tornadoes that whipped through Alabama in 2011 and how the local utility company responded under these conditions.
