Getting Started
Emergency Preparedness - Hazardous Materials
A hazardous materials safety program encompasses measures that improve workplace safety and mitigate potential risks. A hazardous materials governance program promotes employee awareness, establishes protocols for storing and handling hazardous materials, and helps ensure legal and regulatory compliance. On the negative side, the absence of a robust safety program can expose the company to regulatory violations, financial losses, reputational damage, and legal liabilities. Incidents involving hazardous materials can disrupt operations, harm employees, and have lasting environmental impacts.
Emergency Preparedness - Active Shooter
An active shooter governance program helps a company to proactively safeguard its employees, assets, and reputation. Improve your company's preparedness and response capabilities by following a structured method, including the ALICE protocols that help individuals navigate during an active shooter situation. A well-rounded active shooter program reflects a company's ethical responsibility to protect its workforce from threats. Conversely, inadequate preparedness may lead to chaotic responses during a crisis, increasing the risk of harm and hindering recovery efforts. The absence of an active shooter program may expose the company to legal liabilities, reputational damage, and diminished employee morale.
Machinery Controls - Program Management
Proper maintenance on your business machinery and equipment is critical for maximizing its value, whether the equipment is used for manufacturing widgets, doing calibrations, or producing lab results. But machinery maintenance must be consistent and continuous. Establish and manage a program to effectively maintain business machinery and equipment, including documentation, ownership and responsibility, policy and procedures, and training.
Machinery Controls - Maintenance
Proper maintenance on your business machinery and equipment is critical for maximizing its value, whether the equipment is used for manufacturing widgets, doing calibrations, or producing lab results. Great maintenance is preventive and not reactive. Follow a structured method to ensure effective maintenance controls, including inspections, preventive maintenance, operating procedures, safety, and systems access.
Industrial Control Systems Security
Equipment used in manufacturing processes have special controls and system requirements. Physical danger to employees and even surrounding areas are possible if access to these Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are breached. Because of unique requirements, ICS is segregated from a company's IT network and systems. Adherence to these controls will reduce the risk of exposure to criminal elements.
Mobile Equipment Management Program
Managing a mobile equipment program covers several areas, primarily focusing on the safety of employees and machinery and ensuring reliable and available equipment. Structured mobile equipment guidelines focus on preventive maintenance, repairs and services, operating equipment, pedestrian safety program, policies and procedures, operator training, spare parts management, accounting for equipment, and meeting laws and regulations.
Vendor Management - Relationships
Materials, products, services and other items consumed by your business ultimately reflect in your product or service. A vendor relationship starts before the contract is signed and continues throughout the life of the partnership. Nurture the often-neglected relationship with strategic vendors using open communication and mutually beneficial problem solving.
Vendor Management - Performance
Materials, products, services and other items consumed by your business ultimately reflect in your product or service. The performance of strategic and critical vendors and suppliers must be measured and analyzed. Focus on tracking issues, establishing key performance metrics, managing contract compliance, and securing shared data.
Vendor Management - Selection Process
Materials, products, services and other items consumed by your business ultimately reflect in your product or service. What comes into your company directly affects what your immediate stakeholders and customers see. Select the best vendor for your business needs by ensuring that business operations are involved in the evaluation, that company requirements are clearly defined, that the vendor demonstrates continuous improvement, and that performance criteria is specified up front.
Vendor Management - Program
Develop a vendor management program that accounts for managing vendor risks, ensures vendor contracts are tightly controlled, communicates and tracks changes to products and processes, and develops appropriate vendor policies and a code of vendor conduct to address key concerns.
