HFSY217 ECA (End-of-Course Assessment) SUSS : July Semester 2024 – Emergency Preparedness and Response Planning

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 terms 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.

The designated enterprise is a 5-star hotel and beach resort, Shang Hotel & Resort (SHR) located on Singapore’s Sentosa Island. SHR occupies a 2-hectare land, comprises a 12-storey, 400-room hotel building with a common beach front, 20 standalone villas with private beach access, sports facilities, swimming pools, function halls and a 200-car parking facility.

As the operations director, you are the appointed chairman of the workplace safety and health (WSH) committee. The top management tasked the WSH committee to oversee the build-up of the enterprise’s emergency preparedness. In this assessment, you are to report on how the enterprise’s WSH Committee and emergency planning teams are organized, how potential hazard-scenarios in the enterprise are determined, as well as how the required resources and competencies of the enterprise’s company emergency response team (CERT) are established. Explain how the required enterprise’s emergency response plan (Enterprise-ERP) is formulated and apply your understanding of the emergency preparedness and response planning approach by doing the following:

(a) 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.

(b) Describe and discuss the associated business activities within the designated enterprise and identify the potential hazard-scenarios that may pose a threat to life, safety and property.

(c) Illustrate the required evacuation and intervention strategies for the designated enterprise. Analyse the enterprise’s tier-level, required CERT’s competency, equipping, and training using the SCDF’s National CERT Standard and Guidelines. 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).

(d) Describe how the Enterprise-ERP is formulated and develop the EnterpriseERP 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).
