Question 1  

This end-of-course project aims to gauge your ability to (1) apply the emergency management principles and concepts to lead workplace emergency planning; (2) examine the degree and extent of planning required given the workplace hazards and environment; (3) analyse the response strategy and examine the capacity building requirements in term of resources and training needs; and (4) illustrate the desired outcomes of an effective emergency preparedness and response planning with the development of the enterprise emergency response plan in accordance to the requirements of the authority in the designated workplace:

Lakeside Mega Mall (LMM) is a 5-storey large-scale shopping complex with an extensive range of shops, restaurants, cinemas, arcades, etc. Situated within the new Jurong Lake Business District, LMM comprises of two adjoining buildings: (1) a fully automated mechanized car park (FAMCP), and (2) an extensive lifestyle hub with shopping, dining, cineplex, and outdoor playground on the top-level.

As the property manager, you are supported by an 8-man facility team and 8-man security team to ensure the smooth operation. You are also the appointed chairman of the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) committee. The top management had tasked the WSH Committee to oversee the build-up of the site’s emergency preparedness.

In this assessment, you are to report on how the WSH Committee and emergency planning teams are organized; how potential hazard-scenarios in the designated premises are determined as well as how the required resources and competencies of the company emergency response team (CERT) are established. Explain how the required site emergency response plan (Site-ERP) is formulated and demonstrate your understanding of the emergency preparedness and response planning approach with the following points: (a) Describe and discuss the associated business activities within the designated enterprise and identify the potential hazard-scenarios that may pose a threat to safety and property.

• Describe and discuss the associated business activities within the designated enterprise and identify the potential hazard-scenarios that may pose a threat to safety and property.
• Examine how the enterprise’s WSH committee and emergency planning teams should be organized, comprising representatives from within the entire workplace, including associated tenant/occupiers and their respective business operations.
• Examine the required evacuation and intervention strategies for the designated enterprise. Use the SCDF’s National CERT Standard and Guidelines to analyze the enterprise’s tier-level, required CERT’s competency, equipping, and training. This should include the enterprise’s incident management team (IMT), company emergency response team (CERT), evacuation warden team (EWT), in-place protection team (IPPT), emergency assembly area team (EAAT), traffic warden team (TWT), and recovery management team (RMT).
• Describe how the Premises-ERP is formulated and develop the Premises-ERP for the selected workplace (as a separate Canvas submission) using the format and guidelines stipulated by the SCDF (with site layout plan, schematic drawing, etc.).
