The president of the ZYX Corporation expresses concern relative to the company's ability to act in an emergency to protect life and property. He instructs that you undertake the necessary action to establish the desired emergency capability within the facility. Which of the following should be the first step in initiating this action?
The initial step in establishing an emergency capability within a facility should be appointing an emergency coordinator at the corporate level. Appointing a coordinator provides a centralized point of contact who is responsible for organizing, planning, and overseeing the development and implementation of emergency procedures. This role is pivotal in ensuring coordinated efforts across the organization and aligns with the task given by the president to establish emergency capability.
Should the first step be is to conduct physical survey of the plant?
I would think that you would need a coordinator to oversee everything before you start.
