In addition to the organisation’s continuity recovery planning policy, the organisation recognises the need to have a separate pandemic recovery plan and procedure. The reason for this is that a general continuity recovery plan focuses on a short-term recovery programme. Should the UK face an influenza pandemic, the effects of the pandemic could last many months.

Note:

The directors of the organisation recognise the need to have a comprehensive continuity recovery plan. The following procedure sets out the contingency measures that the organisation will bring into effect in the event of a disaster or major incident that has affected its business.

The production manager is designated as emergency co-ordinator and, in their absence, the deputy head of production.

In the event of a fatality, the safety of life shall override all other considerations. However, the organisation recognises that once the safety of life is assured, it is responsible for providing investigators, the media and the families of those affected with information relating to the incident.
