3.6 Assessment of Existing Recovery Provision

It is useful to integrate existing contingency provisions into the BC planning process, at an early stage. This can be useful, not only because the provisions will be relevant, but also because it will confirm the relevance of previous BC work and guarantee the co-operation of the previous planners.

Existing provisions can be anything from full BC plans to a list of home and mobile telephone phone numbers, or the appointment of fire-wardens and first aid officers. These should be re-assessed and incorporated into the final BC plans.
