Environmental Safety & Equipment Management

Disaster Recovery Plan of Information Systems – Defines the steps that are taken in the event a disaster or catastrophic event occurs that renders the organization’s information systems unusable for an extended period of time.

Driver Safety and Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) – The organization requires all employees who operate a motor vehicle to do so in a safe manner and to promote safety on all public streets and highways for the well being of our employees and the general public.

Emergency Operations Plan – The possibility of a state emergency or federal emergency with little warning requires that local government and community agencies take automatic, predetermined actions under varying conditions. However, with advance warning an established system of preparedness assists with response actions. These actions are designated as Operating Conditions (OPCONs). An OPCON is the level of emergency or disaster that may occur. The emergency operations plan includes coordination with county and state emergency management services according to these OPCON levels.
