ABB – The Show Must Go On

      ABB, a leader in power and automation technologies, entrusted the elaboration of their business continuity plan to Acuratek and Marsh Canada Ltd. in order to ensure the availability of their services to their clients. As such, a plan that provided guidance in responding to emergency situations involving visitors and/or personnel and/or an incident that could significantly interrupt, impact or impede ABB’s business operations was needed.

      Three main sections were presented in the plan: emergency response, crisis management and business continuation plans. In order to develop these subjects, Acuratek and Marsh utilized various methods such as worst case scenarios and the identification of potential external, internal and natural exposures. Also taken into consideration were human factors as well as a review of procedures already in motion.

      The findings met the needs of its client by providing clear guidelines for ensuring the security and safety of visitors and employees through proper management of emergency situations. In turn, the plan constituted an essential tool for maintaining ABB’s business activities.
