Blazemark to present at IFMA Mini World Workplace

We are very proud to announce that Blazemark’s Chief Fire Protection Engineer, Greg Jakubowski will present at this years International Facility Management Association’s Mini World Workplace 2017 on November 1st in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Businesses, no matter what product or service that they provide, need to maintain continuity of operations to be successful.  Communities need businesses to be successful to provide a sustainable environment for their citizens.  In today’s world, incidents of all types abound, including fire, rescue, security, and natural disasters.  Response to these incidents is a partnership between businesses and the community, and complex facilities can present complex challenges for employees, visitors, and responders.  When an incident occurs at a facility, operations can only resume as quickly as it takes first responders, whether from facilities management or outside agencies, to locate and mitigate the incident.  Keeping an incident as small as possible is crucial to all, and is the very foundation for any business continuity program.  Greg Jakubowski will present concepts for emergency preparedness, business continuity and practical steps that facilities can implement to take action when faced with a variety of credible scenarios that may occur in the Philadelphia metro area and beyond.

Greg is a Principal for Fire Planning Associates (FPA) which provides pre-emergency planning and other fire protection/safety services using a cloud based software solution, Blazemark^TM.  Greg is a licensed fire protection engineer in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Wyoming and has worked in the nuclear power, sprinkler, insurance and pharmaceutical industries since 1985.  His experience ranges from small facilities, up to major plants with more than 8000 employees and over $12BB in property value.  He has also been part of design/construction teams for almost $3BB in projects in the US, Europe and Asia.  He has been an area fire chief, teaches for the US National Fire buyonlinegenericmeds.com/products/nexium Academy, as well as several Philadelphia-area colleges and international technical schools.  Blazemark is a useful tool to integrate actual corporate facility information as well as be used to prepare facility management with probable emergency procedures before they happen.
