​Confirmation items regarding BCP personnel

In desk training, we will check the procedure and workflow written in BCP, but most of the time, we will simulate as if we were working, not actually working. Due to the limited time required for training, it is difficult to imagine what the physical and mental condition of the person in charge will be because it is done in the form of document confirmation and oral Q & A.

Can you really move in a real disaster? Below are eight items to check.

The actual disaster (large-scale system failure = IT disaster) that the author experienced in the past, the experience of practical training as an emergency gathering member, and the mental health care of the person in charge who has been a problem in the disaster area for the past few years. It is created based on.

  1. Does the person in charge understand the entire BCP and act flexibly?

  2. Is the amount of work of the person in charge appropriate?

  3. Is the implementation procedure and estimated required time realistic?

  4. Are there too many items related to work management?

  5. Is the concurrent role minimized?

  6. Is the person in charge communicating effectively?

  7. Does the manager have the knowledge to perform mental health care for the person in charge?

  8. Does the work environment consider the workability of the person in charge?

​Explanation of confirmation items

1. 1. Does the person in charge understand the entire BCP and act flexibly?

Next, I understand what I will do and who is doing what, and I can act independently.

Are you able to decide what to do next and move flexibly without instructions?

2. 2. Is the amount of work of the person in charge appropriate?

Even if you can do it with a short training, isn't the amount of work unreasonable during a disaster that lasts for several days?

Is the workload considered in consideration of the fact that the training is carried out by shortening the actual period?

Are shifts and breaks considered?

3. 3. Is the implementation procedure and estimated required time realistic?

Is the actual time required to implement the procedure taken into consideration? Isn't it supposed that the simulation is not enough to measure the time and that it can be done in a shorter time than it actually is?

Also, is the time set considering the skill and proficiency of the person in charge?

4. Are there too many items related to work management?

Are frequent checkpoints and reports disrupting your work and reducing your productivity? Is the management narrowed down to be necessary in an emergency, not the same management as normal work?

5. Is the concurrent role minimized?

If the number of operating personnel is small in an emergency situation, the workload will be further increased by concurrently serving. Is it considered to create a system in which the gathered members can flexibly take on roles and transfer roles depending on the situation? Are there any training or documentation that enables multitasking of the person in charge?

6. Is the person in charge communicating effectively?

Do you not only concentrate on the assigned work, but also communicate with others and actively seek information? Also, are there positive conversations that encourage and encourage each other?

7. Does the manager have the knowledge to perform mental health care for the person in charge?

Does the manager notice the mental illness of the person in charge and have the knowledge to take appropriate care?

8. Does the work environment consider the workability of the person in charge?

Is there a place where the person in charge can take a break, and is the calorie content and nutrition taken into consideration when working with meals?

Our institute supports the implementation of BCP training based on the above eight items.

  • Support for creating training plans

  • Witness to training
