The goal of a supply plan is to match the demand plan. When done effectively supply and demand planning can greatly reduce costs for organizations. When supply and demand do not match, organizational costs rise. If the supply plan does not deliver enough inventory to match the demand plan, sales are lost, labor hours rise, and transportation costs increase. A supply plan that delivers too much inventory increases handling costs, storage costs, lower margins, and obsolescence. These costs are exactly why effective demand planning and supply planning are so critical for an organization to meet its financial goals.

Welcome to the course on Health & Safety Manager Role in Emergency Response and Fire Safety. Most working adults in the US spend 30% of their waking hours at work. It is the legal and moral responsibility of organizations to ensure employee safety and preparedness in times of emergencies. Workplace related emergencies include fires or explosions, medical emergencies, severe weather conditions such as earthquakes, storms or hurricanes, active shooters, bomb threats, major power failures and/or hazardous material spills. According to the results of an online poll, conducted by Cintas Corporation, it was found that less than a third of employed U.S. adults (31%) consider their workplace proactive about emergency preparedness. Each year, fire hazards cost US businesses 1 Bn dollars in losses. Health and Safety Managers need to ensure preventative measures to minimize the impact from emergencies. They also need to ensure that at the time of an emergency, people know their roles well and are equipped to take the steps to secure themselves. While having robust Health and Safety procedures in place cannot prevent risks, it can strongly reduce the negative impact of emergencies on human life.

In this course, you will learn:

• Role of a Health & Safety Manager in Business Continuity Planning

• Importance of compliance with NFPA 1600 standardization

• Identifying Hazards

• Hazard Assessment
