How can you help your heritage clients to streamline their emergency plans? with Emma Dadson from Harwell Restoration
Summary: In heritage businesses, if objects are subject to water, fire, or other forms of damage, a quick response is essential. Yet, some heritage organisations’ emergency plans are stifled by a slow decision-making process, lacking comms policy, or insufficient clarity regarding the delegation of authority in critical scenarios.
In this episode, Emma Dadson from Harwell Restoration talks about the impact that a well-devised emergency plan can have for heritage businesses. She highlights several resources available to help businesses create or further develop their emergency plans.
Quote: "One thing I would really urge is that it's very easy to download a template plan, fill in the blanks, print it and say that's the job done. It’s really important to make sure that anything like that is really fine-tuned and made bespoke to [one’s] particular setup. So, make sure that you create a plan, but then you actually walk through it, practice it and then refine it from that point forward."
