4 Page4 Introduction Business Disruption events can be categorized in two ways. 1. Interruptions These are normally temporary power or communication failures. These events are not usually long term and can be managed simply as part of the businesses normal operating procedures. 2. Disruption This occurs when normal operational management is suspended as a result of massive losses such as fire, flood, earthquake or cyclone. It can also be impacted by events such as a pandemic where the majority of staff are infected and are unable to work. The purpose of a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is to prepare for the possibility of major disruption and form a plan and procedures to counteract the effects of a major disaster. There are also benefits for a business that has a BCP in place which:- a) will identify areas at risk before damage occurs b) will minimize the damage to a brand or business name by the company being able to continue to work with and for clients, subcontractors and staff. It will also help to protect any long term contracts with business partners such as Toll Transitions. c) If a plan is already in place when a disaster occurs, it will enable a business to make a cost effective and immediate response to demands that will inevitably be made on it. This may include a quick change to a new address but will ensure continuity in operation. Everything in a BCP is designed to assist the company take immediate action on extremely short notice in the event of a disaster occurring. The BCP is not the plan of what to do on the day of the emergency, although some aspects of this are covered within the body of the document, but more importantly how you get your business operating again within the 48 hour window before damaging losses can occur. While there are many methods in which to manage and plan Business Continuity Plans, this plan for the Removal Industry in Australia, is designed to be simple, easy to follow and not weighed down by information and superfluous material. It is not a full risk assessment of an actual disaster occurring, but a plan to have your business up and running within 48 hours of any catastrophic event. For a full explanation there are several websites that can give you this information Within the Removal Industry there are 5 essential business requirements that must be protected. a) People, staffing, contractors and clients b) Buildings and Facilities such as offices, depots and warehouses c) IT Hardware and Software d) Telecommunications - Telephones e) Vital Records These can all be affected by infrastructure damage that includes power outage, building inundation, building collapse, fire, etc Your BCP should include plans for the following five areas.

5 Page5 A) People i) Succession Plan - A prescribed plan of action to replace key staff if normal position holders are unavailable. This may involve understudies or people trained to take over at short notice within the organization. ii) Skilled Management Plan To make key information and any other knowledge required for identified understudies so they can assume the new role with as little lead time as possible. iii) An identification of the roles and responsibilities for designated people. iv) Insurance Look at insuring against the financial consequences of loss of key staff v) Payroll Procedures in place to pay your staff when you may have lost all data concerning their wages, hours worked, etc vi) Lists of contact details of all employees B) Buildings, Equipment and other Facilities i) Arrangements and procedures for relocating facilities ii) Agreements and activities required to transfer functions iii) Contractors How are you going to operate if one of your suppliers cannot supply you with an essential service iv) Administrative details such as spare IT equipment, stationery, manuals, key procedure manuals, storage of spare keys, spare mobile phones v) Documented procedures to support business facility recovery and restoration vi) Procedures for action when you are unable to access your property C) IT Hardware and Software i) Preventative controls such as robust systems and application designs, fault tolerant hardware, uninterruptible power supplies and monitoring facilities ii) Provision for backup processing services iii) Use of secure and fire proof in house storage facilities iv) Agreements and activities required to transfer to other locations v) Provision for back up processing facilities electronic and manual vi) Offsite storage of data and the ability to restore a backup onto another computer and records of your software key numbers so you can access your programs in alternative accommodation vii) viii) Availability of vendors who can supply replacement equipment at short notice Continuity of protection of sensitive documents such as personnel files and other classified information D) Telecommunications i) Support from essential staff to support business operation ii) Agreements with various suppliers iii) Can you activate an exchange based diversion of all your phones?

6 Page6 DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN Personnel In the unlikely event that a disaster occurs, the following systems are in place to protect our interests and those of our clients. 1. To manage staffing requirements during a disaster and in the following 48 hours, key staff members should be identified to lead the recovery effort. A list of these people with their contact numbers, job descriptions and the roles they will undertake, should be listed and stored within the backups and stored off site in a secure location. This list should also be kept in the Disaster recovery Box/Satchel. It is also important that all employees know who these key people are and how they can be contacted. 2. To further strengthen our staffing positions during a disaster, understudies or back up personnel will also be identified and listed and the information stored as above. Some training should also be given to these understudies to assist them in the event they will need to assume some responsibilities in a disaster. 3. This training should identify the systems knowledge required, job descriptions details and operating procedural manuals. This training should be conducted once a year and focus on the roles people will take during and after an emergency. 4. In the event of a catastrophic event requiring the evacuation of the business property, the normal evacuation plan should be followed, roll call taken, visitors accounted for. Once this is completed and where required, transport should be organised to get employees to their homes where possible. In the event of widespread destruction, the company will endeavour to provide food, water and money. 5. Provision should be made for the payment of employees to continue regardless of the disaster. In the event that all records have been destroyed, arrangements should be made to have funds electronically transferred into employee bank accounts. It is suggested that the amount should be the same as that paid the week prior to the disaster. Any shortfall in amounts paid should be reimbursed at a time in the future where normal working conditions have been restored. 6. In the event that a supplier or contractor is unable to fulfil their obligations to you, either through business failure, suspension or any other catastrophic event, a list of fall back agents and suppliers will be maintained and agreements maintained on file and stored in a secure place. 7. Items contained in an Emergency Recovery Box/Satchel kept off site should contain Spare Keys, spare mobile phone and charger, Software Product Key Numbers, Contact book, bank details, personnel next of kin files, Job Descriptions, a copy of this plan, and Operations Manuals required for those assuming a Disaster Recovery Plan leadership role.

16 Page16 DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN Buildings, Equipment, Vehicles and Other Facilities In the event of a major disaster occurring such as a fire or a flood where buildings and client goods are destroyed the will need to take steps to minimise the risks to clients and to themselves. In order to protect ourselves from these events insurances for this purpose will be kept current and be reviewed annually to ensure the cover is sufficient. Procedure: 1. In the event of building destruction, the police department, insurance assessors, and any affected clients will be notified immediately. In the event of a disaster that requires a security presence on site at all times, our contracted security business will be asked to maintain a full time presence to preserve our premises. This is to prevent any looting, theft or other acts of vandalism and would be required where fire, earthquake or flood had damaged the buildings. When the buildings are vacated for any reason, the employee roll and visitor book will be removed by the person in charge of this item when they vacate. The names of all people who were in the building will then be read at the collecting point for evacuees to ensure all persons are out of the building. Further information on this procedure is listed under Fire Precautions. 2. Nothing will be disturbed until the police have conducted a thorough examination and the insurance assessors have completed their work. 3. Any clients who are affected will also be notified and invited to inspect any damage. They will be given insurance documentation to complete and offered any assistance that can be given. The client list should be maintained as part of the back up. 4. Upon completion of police and the insurance assessors inspection, and in agreement with the client, where their goods are involved, contractors will be contacted to remove all damaged beyond repair material. 5. Any goods that can be salvaged will be removed and repairs effected where possible. 6. In the event of a disruption to the Office facilities, temporary premises will be obtained and phones computers and printers will be connected to minimise inconvenience to clients and agents. It is quite acceptable that where necessary, working from home will constitute temporary premises. 7. In the event of computers being destroyed, back ups will be installed onto new machines in temporary premises so as to allow continuance of normal work. 8. All agents and clients will be notified of events and kept informed of the procedures that are in place to ensure a continuation of business activities. 9. Where vehicles have been affected, immediate efforts to secure Hire Vehicles should be made as required to facilitate the continued smooth operations of the business. Contact numbers for all hire companies should be contained within the documentation stored in the Disaster Recovery Box/Satchel.

17 Page Any vehicles that are salvageable will be serviced by a registered mechanic to ensure the safe working condition of the vehicles. 11. Where whiteboards are used in businesses to record the movements of uplifts and deliveries and the removal of these boards is impossible, and where it is possible to do so, take photographs of all vital information so these can be replicated when in the temporary new premises. 12. In the event that we are unable to access our property, efforts will be made to ensure the security of the buildings either by engaging a security company who is able to access the area or to inform the Emergency Services that our property requires safe guarding. It may also be possible to organise with the Emergency Services permission to gain access to the property to ascertain any damage, and secure vital documentation. 13. A temporary workplace will be established, if required, from home, until other offices can be secured. It would be expected that if our property is damaged by a catastrophic event, the neighbouring properties may also be in the same situation and offices may be impossible to obtain. While it is not expected that any such disaster will occur, in its unlikely event all necessary procedures according to State and Government laws will be carefully followed and all necessary steps taken to ensure this occurs. This company will work closely with police and insurance assessors in determining the cause and then take all reasonable measures to rectify the situation.
