High Hazard Facilities

Manufacturing, construction, and public utility sites typically have hazardous materials such as corrosives, explosives, or poisons on site, and federal, state, and local regulations require the establishment of rigorous safety and risk management programs. With the VES Solutions, company management, regulatory agencies, and first responders can instantly retrieve comprehensive visual and technical information about any facility in the event of a catastrophic event, whether fire, explosion, chemical spill, law enforcement situation, or act of terrorism. Facilities with large “footprints,” like utilities, refineries, chemical manufacturing or other industrial sites, can economically cover their entire site, and call up all desired tactical information on any commercially available laptop. Thus first responders and proprietary specialists alike can be given instant and secure access to this valuable information. 

But the installation and implementation of preventive devices and measures, even when coupled with careful event planning, does not fully “close the loop” in the emergency management continuum.

To be fully prepared, facility managers and first responders need to be sure that when a disaster strikes they have the best information on hand to mount a precise and efficient response to any given situation. By integrating the existing emergency preparedness materials developed in-house with VES's visual and inquiry software, management achieves unprecedented level of readiness.

No matter the nature of the business, people are always the most valuable resource. It is imperative to assure employees, visitors and their families that the facility has implemented risk and safety programs that cover all scenarios and that if a disaster should strike, there is a way of containing and controlling the outcome.
