Study Notes

Legislated Safety and Security Requirements (Legal Basis)

The text outlines the legal basis for safety and security requirements in an organizational setting.
These requirements are derived from both national and international legal frameworks.
National legislation includes the Labor Code of the Philippines, the Department of Health's Sanitation Code, and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources' regulations.
International legislation primarily comes from the International Labor Organization (ILO), which promotes a "preventive safety and health culture."

Provision for Safety and Security Policies and Procedures

Emergency procedures are crucial for demonstrating due diligence, meeting insurance requirements, and protecting business image. These procedures should cover various scenarios, including accidents, injuries, and natural disasters.
Death protocols are especially important for businesses organizing trips and tours, as they ensure proper handling of a deceased person, communication with authorities, and support for the remaining tour group members.
Personal safety and security protocols are essential for the well-being of both employees and customers. They should address specific threats and risks, including identification of potential hazards, training staff on security procedures, and establishing contingency plans for high-risk situations.

Resources Availability to Support Required Safety and Security Procedures

Businesses rely on various equipment, systems, and plans to support safety and security protocols.
Contingency plans address potential disruptions caused by equipment malfunctions, extreme weather events, data loss, power failures, staff shortages, and disasters.
Specific equipment and systems include reservations/bookings systems, communications networks, security systems, vehicles and transportation systems, stock control systems, and HVAC systems.

Provision Safety and Security Information to Customers

Proactive communication is crucial in fostering trust and confidence between customers and tourism/hospitality businesses.
This involves providing pre-departure/on-departure briefings that address safety and security measures, using diverse communication methods, and encouraging questions from customers.

Feedback to Management on Safety and Security Procedures

Identifying issues requiring attention is the first step in effectively addressing safety and security concerns.
Employees should proactively report issues to management to ensure continuous improvement, compliance with regulations, and customer satisfaction.
Recommending solutions to identified issues strengthens safety and security practices, protects the business from potential legal action, and enhances the overall customer experience.
