Emergency Training

At Manpower Labour, we offer comprehensive courses in emergency preparedness. Lives can be saved and damage to property can be minimalised when the people are prepared and have the necessary skills accumulated from emergency response training.

There are many instances when emergency medical services, and in worst case scenarios, disaster services are not able to get to the scene in time or at all. It pays to have people who are trained in emergency response who can assess the situation and provide the correct help when necessary.

Fires, explosions, chemical releases, violence or biological releases all pose a threat to everyone in your organisation’s facilities. One way to ensure the safety of all affected populations, and reduce the risk to your organisation, is to have an evacuation plan. The beauty of this strategy is that even the smallest organisation operating with limited resources can afford to develop and implement an evacuation plan.

One of the most devastating losses to an organisation is the loss of human life. Not only is it emotionally depleting, it can involve adverse publicity, large settlements, loss of organisational leadership, and the inability to deliver programmes or services.

An emergency evacuation plan can make life-or-death differences for your staff, volunteers, visitors, vendors and programme participants. It could also mean life or death for your mission.
