Industries, organisations and businesses may have business continuity plans to ensure the safety of their staff and that ‘business as usual’ is maintained whenever possible.
These plans may include information and guidance regarding damage control and recovery following an incident or event. It is important that such plans are discussed with the responsible person (or their representative) and, wherever possible, fire and rescue services should aim to support those arrangements.
If possible, liaise with the responsible person (or nominated competent person) to understand their business continuity arrangements. When implementing business continuity arrangements, it is the responsibility of the fire and rescue service to ensure that they do not impact on the response or compromise the safety of the public and emergency responders.
