Think fast: There’s been a tornado or flood at your food processing facility. Are your employees safe? Can they be evacuated? Who is responsible for safely shutting down the plant’s refrigeration and ammonia systems in the event of a fire?
If you can’t answer these questions and more, you may need to reassess your facility’s emergency protocols for a natural disaster. While it can be nearly impossible to predict when a disaster will strike, a plant’s location can guide management in designing plans for all potential disaster types.
