Dear Colleagues,
Given the recent fire disaster in Bangalore, it appears that organizations within the building were not trained on how to react to hazards such as fire: with the result of numerous people jumping to their death.
As a HR professional and a representative of several small organizations, I think it is our responsibility in this capacity to provide real-life training/drills and background checks in the location of business, to ensure the safety of all in various hazard situations, not just rote processes in writing.
Bigger organizations may have a structured set up - my concern is more with small and medium sized organizations, where such topics may not be high on their priority list.
I would like to bring out, through this forum, a list of mandatory regulations in buildings that employers must ensure are in place (for any enterprise), along with suggestions on how employees and employers may be trained accordingly.
All ideas are welcome.
May this bring about a safer workplace for everyone!
Thank you!
Ramya Suresh
