CLASS DESCRIPTION
When a bio-hazard or trauma event occurs at a property, the property manager is often the first call after emergency services—and the least prepared. With little to no formal training in handling these high-risk situations, many are left unsure of what to do, what to avoid, who to contact, and how to protect themselves and their organization from serious liability.
This program bridges that gap.
Led by industry professional Ivan Pierce, this session delivers a practical, real-world guide to managing bio-hazard and trauma incidents with confidence and clarity. Drawing from firsthand experience building and executing response operations, Ivan walks attendees through the critical decisions that must be made in the moments that matter most. Rather than focusing on theory or regulations alone, this program emphasizes actionable steps that protect residents, staff, property, and the management company.
Key Takeaways:
- You will leave with a clear, step-by-step response protocol that you can implement immediately and share with your teams.
- Understand legal and liability exposure in a bio-hazard or trauma situations and how proper vendor engagement and documentation protects you and your management company.
- Know exactly what to look for in a qualified remediation vendor and what red flags to avoid when the pressure is highest.
