Crisis Management Planning For Your Construction Company

This post is part of a series sponsored by TSIB.

The saying, “life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans,” is as true as a statement that you can make. Unfortunately, the simple truth is, bad things are bound to happen. When they happen to your company, it is critical to be prepared ahead of time with a plan.

When your company is exposed to large liability claims, major accidents, community crises, environmental hazards, and negative media attention, having a well-developed and rehearsed Crisis Management plan, is part of any proactive and responsible Risk Management planning. This plan should be well thought out and include variations to cover any emergency you might expect to encounter,
