- 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.
