Whether it’s emergency and crisis management, training, security and safety risk assessments, Covid-19 safety plans or event safety and risk management Riskworks tailor solutions to best suit your business needs.
Emergency Management
It’s important to prepare your business for an emergency. With the right planning and training the likelihood of emergency incidents can be significantly reduced or well managed should they still occur. By having resources and understanding responsibilities for dealing with all humanitarian aspects of emergencies (preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery) our clients will be better equipped. The aim is to reduce the harmful effects of all hazards, including disasters.
Riskworks has been ensuring our clients have up to date Emergency Management Plans which meet local standards such as AS 3745:2010 – Planning for emergencies in facilities and that they are regularly maintained, reviewed and most importantly rehearsed.
Riskworks support our clients to do this by:
Ensuring Emergency Plans consider all operating periods including peak and off-peak
Facilitating Emergency Planning Committee requirements as per ‘the standard’
Training key personnel on their responsibilities as Emergency Wardens
Preparing all documentation relating to ‘the standard’ including –
Emergency Management Plans
Emergency and Evacuation Information Cards
Checklists
Evacuation Diagrams
Evacuation diagrams provide emergency and evacuation information which should be displayed in all facilities as per AS3745:2010 [2018].
As documented in the emergency plan information included on the evacuation diagram should reflect the facility emergency and evacuation information.
Evacuation diagrams are designed to inform occupants of the evacuation procedures, locations and directions of the nearest emergency exits, fire equipment, assembly areas and emergency contact details in an emergency situation.

Workplace Health & Safety
Most employers and employees understand their obligations to ensuring workplaces are as safe as practicable and make reasonable efforts to that end; however this can come at considerable cost to business operational time, additional resources and administrative compliance.
National harmonisation of WHS laws also remains an ongoing issue and whilst model laws were developed by the Commonwealth to provide an important bridge between jurisdictions, states and territories still independently implement, regulate and enforce related law.
In some jurisdictions tougher WHS laws now provide opportunity to impose heavy fines and/or Jail time for business leaders who fail to meet their obligations to workplaces safety laws and regulations causing serious injury or death.
