"Safety for Life" Helps Organizations Be Prepared for All Natural and Manmade Disasters

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - April 10, 2008) - "Safety for Life," a customized program that
helps organizations respond effectively to any kind of disaster, natural or
manmade, has been launched by Bowman Specialty Services, a division of E.G.
Bowman Company, New York.
"Preparedness makes a huge difference when the unexpected strikes -- from a
tornado to a flood, a gunman to terrorists," said Harry Nolan, PhD, chief
loss-control engineer with Bowman Specialty Services.
Clients receive a customized emergency preparedness manual, a safety video
and technical support. "Safety for Life" can supplement the efforts of
in-house safety staff or be used by organizations that do not have their
own safety professionals.
"The emergency preparedness manual is designed as a working plan that's
regularly updated and always ready to be implemented at a moment's notice,"
Nolan said. It also outlines setting up a crisis management team (CMT),
creating an emergency evacuation plan, showing how to test the plan,
addressing employee training and motivation -- and more.
Evacuation planning is often overlooked, but planning can make a difference
between life and death in an extreme emergency like a high-rise fire or an
attack by terrorists or a murderous gunman.
The approved safety video, in DVD or computer format, shows employees how
to respond in emergencies, while covering the key safety concerns in any
organization, whether it's a manufacturer, a service business, hospital,
government agency or utility.
And as an optional value-added feature, Bowman can arrange for a
disaster-relief company that guarantees a stricken company to be up and
running again within 48 hours, with services including mobile offices,
computers, satellite phone and Internet access, and power generation.
Bowman safety professionals have many years of experience serving business,
nonprofits and government. They've written many articles on safety, loss
control and evacuation planning for leading trade magazines.
