Consequence Management Planning (CMP)

Biological contamination of buildings creates many unique challenges and complexities for facility managers and owners. These events can cause an enormous amount of business interruption and as such, facility managers must consider biological contamination preparedness, prevention, detection, and decontamination strategies that are best-suited for their buildings and related organizations to minimize this interruption.

Biological contamination means the presence of persistent microbes that can negatively impact a facility or human health. Many microorganisms can constitute biological contamination within facilities. Highlighted below are just a few microbes that can present serious problems for facility owners and managers.

Sample Biological Contaminants

Anthrax (bacillus anthracis) Avian Influenza (H5N1) Mold (many species) Salmonella E.coli Listeria

MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) Botulism (Clostridium botulinum) Norovirus (Caliciviridae) Clostridium difficile Mycotoxins Allergens

Sabre and CMP

At Sabre, we work with our clients to develop comprehensive preparedness, response, and implementation plans aimed at minimizing business interruption caused by biological contamination events. Sabre's methodology forms the basis on which the U.S., other governments, and major corporations have formulated their approach to biological contamination consequence management. Sabre's established approach for preparing and restoring contaminated facilities includes:

• Detailed Engineering Planning
• Remedial Action Planning
• Sampling and Analysis Planning
• Health and Safety Planning
• Emergency Response Planning
• Ambient Air Monitoring Planning
• Waste Disposal Planning
• Technical Working Group Planning
• Clearance Committee Planning
• Media Relations Planning

Biological incidents and resulting biological contamination can lead to disastrous consequences for impacted organizations. Facility managers can substantially reduce the impacts of biological contamination through advanced consequence management planning and selection of appropriate decontamination methods. Sabre's planning solutions are designed specifically to address the many challenges that biological contamination presents to facility managers and owners. Together these offerings allow managers to plan for, respond to, and recover from a biological incident in a timely manner and represent the standard by which all other plans and methods should be measured.
