BCP Awareness Training Executive Overview 2004 Presented by: Carl M. Evans Vice President Disaster Recovery
Federal Requirements • OSHA Requirements Standards - 29 CFR 1910.38 • Federal Financial Institution Examination Council • The Federal Reserve • The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Essentially, these Federal requirements all boil down to: “You shall have a disaster recovery plan and a training program that reaches every employee.”
BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN (BCP) AWARENESS TRAINING • A comprehensive training program that reaches every employee. • All employees need awareness training annually. • The training must be auditable. Employee Acknowledgement form – For audit purposes, every employee, including senior management, will sign an acknowledgement form to be retained by Human Resources. This same form has been added to the New Employee Orientation (NEO) program, so new employees will immediately become part of the Business Continuity Plan.
LEVEL I TRAINING On an annual basis, Human Resources will send out a BCP Awareness Training form to all employees. This one page form accomplishes three major auditable requirements: • It makes every employee aware of the existence of a company wide Business Continuity Plan. • It makes every employee aware of the fact that should a disaster occur, the employee is to look to their supervisor for direction concerning what to do. • The employee is asked to sign the form acknowledging the above two items. The forms will be retained in the employee’s personnel file.
LEVEL II TRAINING(Tactical) Level II is geared towards back-office & branch managers & supervisors. The focus is on Emergency Action Plans for all facilities and departments. • A brief PowerPoint presentation provides an overview of general Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and explains the responsibilities & duties of a “First Responder”. • A brief introduction to the company’s Business Continuity Plan from the distribution CD’s. • Makes every First Responder aware of their duties & responsibilities during a disaster. Namely: • Get their employees and customers to safety. • Call 911, if necessary. • Escalate the situation to their direct management, if needed. • Deal with the disaster until help arrives.
LEVEL 3 TRAINING(Strategic) This training package is geared toward senior management, including those who will be responsible for providing strategic guidance through a disaster and the subsequent Business Resumption. The training consists of the following elements: BCP - A brief introduction to the company’s Business Continuity Plan from the distribution CD’s. ICS - A detailed explanation of our Incident Command System (ICS). EOC - An explanation of how our Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is set up, how it is activated and what to do if the primary EOC isn’t usable.
