Moving ForwardCrises Management
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
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.
