STAFF SAFETY TRAINING

Prioritise what to do in the seconds, minutes, hours and days following an earthquake.
Following a Wellington earthquake most CBD businesses immediately evacuate their building using standard fire evacuation procedures, inadvertently placing staff at risk of serious harm. Don’t learn by mistake – book a training session.
