Crises Management

8. Objective
• To focus our Health & Safety plans where
focus is needed.
Major Changes
• HASP has been divided into 2 parts.
• Part I is Travel Safety, required for all trips
• Part II is Construction Safety, required for all
trips which have construction components
• Will be completed by December 1, and
required to use by January 1
Resources
• Assignment of a Health & Safety Reviewer
prior to preparation so the HASP can be
done well and one.
New Health & Safety Forms

9. Objective
• Ensure our members get the care that they
need as soon as possible.
What are we changing?
• ISOS is now the 24/7 response for EWB-USA
• EWB-USA will hold the blanket insurance
policy, Seven Corners will no longer be
necessary
• Effective Jan. 1 or prior, stay tuned to the
eblast
• Interim solution – Cost will be added to trip
allocation ($500/$1000,$500) until trip
allocation changes.
