Background of the Growing Importance of Corporate Disaster Prevention and BCP Measures
In recent years, as the importance of corporate disaster prevention and Business Continuity Plans (BCP) has grown nationwide, risks caused by uninspected fire equipment and inadequate disaster prevention systems have become apparent.
Cases of receiving corrective instructions during on-site inspections by fire departments and the risk of serious accidents due to defective equipment are also increasing, leading to a strong demand for 'effectiveness' in disaster prevention measures.
Disaster Prevention Shifts from 'Duty' to 'Management Risk Management'
Limits of Formal Fire Equipment Inspections While fire equipment inspections are mandated by law, they often remain formal exercises and frequently fail to adequately ensure actual operation and safety.
Major Risks Discovered Only Through Inspections In actual sites, there are many cases where 'major defects are discovered for the first time only after an inspection is conducted,' such as discovering severed wiring when inspecting emergency alarm equipment.
These problems may only become apparent during a disaster, potentially having a severe impact on human life and business continuity.
