Risk Management
Planning for hazardous weather events needs to be
a part of every effective risk management strategy.
Much of our training time and available
dollars are spent on other important issues such as response to hazardous
material incidents, potential threats from terror attacks and other outside
influences that can affect our business success and stability.
A company can lose 2%
of its annual revenue per week due to hazardous weather work
stoppages. Losses of that magnitude can significantly affect the bottom line of
even the most profitable company.
At the Hazardous Weather Preparedness Institute
we focus on hazardous weather potential and have experience that ranges from
understanding the hazards, to emergency management and establishing an effect
crisis communication plan.
Our training should be a significant part of
your overall risk management plan.
We focus on:
- Facility and property interests
- Employee safety both on and off the job
- Vendors and suppliers
- Customers and visitors
| "As a Safety & Loss
Control representative for American Express, I am
responsible for the safety of 2400 employees working at
American Express's Greensboro call center. I have worked
with the staff of HWPI on number of weather related
projects, attended their corporate training seminars and
have found them to be more than willing to help, very
knowledgeable and able to meet the needs of our business.
Most recently, they helped us strengthen our Severe Weather
response program. They conducted training for our Evacuation
Team, held awareness sessions for our general population,
and helped oversee our first ever Tornado Drill (very
successful exercise). I would recommend their services to
anyone wanting to develop or improve weather related
emergency response programs. They provide a valuable service
and are truly professionals and experts in their field."
