Industries protected by KGICA

Commercial, residential, and industrial properties are legally required to implement an Emergency Fire and Evacuation Plan. Depending on your exact property and/or portfolio mix, special consideration will need to be taken to provide an accurate and comprehensive risk assessment.

We provide property management companies with Fire and Emergency Preparedness Planning, Training and Consulting Services. KGICA assumes the responsibility for compliance with the National and Provincial Fire Code, the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, and will include the required steps to ensure successful implementation, staff training, and ongoing review of fire safety documentation and practices.

The tourism and hospitality industry focuses on welcoming, hosting, and entertaining its customers while aiming to create positive, unique experiences. It’s important to maintain the concept of a “home-from-home” with comfort, convenience and privacy guaranteed to their guests and no compromise on safety.

To ensure visitor safety, detailed emergency plans, and comprehensive staff workplace safety training is required. We work with a range of venues to manage diverse risks, including:

• Hotels and holiday resorts.
• Theme/entertainment parks.
• Galleries and museums.
• Restaurants and nightlife venues. 

Corporate workplaces face a range of risks, from physical or environmental events such as fire, flood, structural failure, or extreme weather, to human threats such as active shooter or bomb threats, suspicious packages, and other violent conduct. We work with businesses to ensure that their emergency/disaster action plan and employee training is up-to-date and fully operational before the worst happens.

• Office/workplace security.
• Company asset protection.
• Datacenter security.
• Infrastructure protection.
• Penetration Test. 
• Digital Forensic audits and investigations

Like any organization, religious groups have a duty of care to their participants in terms of their safety and security while partaking in worship and related events. Our services assist places of worship in ensuring public safety when attending:

• Churches, synagogues, mosques and other worship temples.  
• Outdoor events.
• Domestic and international religious trips.
• Community centres.
• Outreach programs.
• Shelters. 
• Religious education facilities. 

With high concentrations of people, often in limited or contained spaces, entertainment venues face specific challenges in ensuring public safety, both from a security and management standpoint, as well as disaster response and evacuation in the event of an emergency or credible threat. Our team is experienced in developing sector-specific emergency/disaster action plans to cover: 

• Outdoor events, concerts & festivals.
• Casinos
• Sport Complexes
• Movie theatres.
• Music venues.

Industrial workplaces face unique safety risks based on the specific activities carried out on-site and the hazards present. Our experienced team specializes in the assessment and emergency planning for fires, floods, explosions, and mechanical, chemical, electrical, structural, biohazard or radiation hazards. 

We have prior experience working for many diverse organizations in large-scale industrial safety projects including:

• Factories/manufacturing.
• Construction sites.
• Warehouses and storage.
• Chemical processing.
• Ports and rail yards.
• High hazard facilities. 

Shopping centres and malls are vulnerable to a range of public safety threats, and with multiple businesses, employees, and customers present during peak periods, it’s vital to have a coordinated emergency/disaster action plan in place for all possible scenarios to avoid panic. Our clients have successfully passed their insurer audits which resulted in a reduction of their  insurance premiums. 

In the event of an emergency, our plans and training programs will ensure all tenants, building operations team, and security personnel coordinate their efforts effectively.

We consult with government and military organizations to create and implement custom emergency planning which reflects their unique and elevated threat profile. Our team has significant experience in this field, with many of our consultants coming from a military or law enforcement agency background.

In this sector, KGIC will take a fresh look at our clients existing programs which ultimately benefit them as opportunities may exist to reduce financial pressures on their already lean budgets.  We introduce new techniques to develop employee’s abilities and ensure overall organizational preparedness, in addition to  new and effective practices implemented by other agencies and private entities.
