Maintaining Accurate Emergency Info

Emergencies are things that should be well planned for, but never experienced. In the event of an on the job incident, a medical issue, or even someone to reboot a server, it is important to have accurate non-corporate contact information for that person.

This is usually not the case. Some employee’s emergency contact information is usually only updated once in their corporate lifetime when they are hired. It is important that basic contact information is stored such as: home phone number, cell number, pager number, home address, and contact information for a person to reach in case the employee is incapacitated.

Unfortunately most human resource and IS/IT departments do not have the resources to actively send out questionnaires to poll the employees for such information. If the questionnaire does get filled out, there is always the risk of clerical error.
