Bringing it all together
Conducting audits and developing ERPs should not be taken lightly. Too often organizations play a game of chance, hoping nothing will happen at their facilities. Most of the time, they are lucky. Yet, when an employee or guest is injured, made ill or dies as a result of an emergency situation, tremendous pain and suffering is the result. In addition, financial and liability consequences can be devastating to the organization. Regularly scheduled facility audits and development of an ERP will protect employees, customers and stakeholders.
