Disasters can be of different types, and many are found well outside the familiar territory of the EHS professional. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided in vivid detail, large gaps in our business continuity plans, and safety management systems. EHS professionals are being called upon, now more than ever, to not only lead response efforts but to use their management system expertise to keep organizations operational throughout the entire supply chain.
This session will focus on the newest crisis, COVID-19, and discuss the elements of change needed to fill system gaps and how the practitioner can best provide leadership.
