When an accident halts production, the decisions that follow affect more than the next shift. Employees and their loved ones need clear, timely information, clients need to know whether they can count on deliveries, and managers need to determine what it will take to resume operations safely.

Navacord, a proud partner of the Manufacturing Safety Alliance of BC, has produced a five-part video series exploring how manufacturers can prepare for these decisions. In under eight minutes, Navacord’s Rob Shearar and Mark Lee examine what happens during a disruption and in its aftermath, how to build and communicate a post-disruption plan, and how to put a business continuity plan into action.

In the first video, Why Planning for a Crisis Now Saves You Later, Rob and Mark discuss the first hours of a crisis and how little time you have to weigh unfamiliar options. Planning is essential and allows your team a starting point in response to a fire, flood, or workplace accident. They explore the role insurance plays in recovery and how planning can help limit downtime and manage costs.
