Britton, S

The author says coal mining requires the precise execution of tasks to minimize risks. Acknowledging risks and attempting to influence their impact is the basis of crisis management. Crisis management skills include recognizing, measuring, handling, and resolving any of the crisis situations an organization faces during the course of business. The author outlines four phases of a typical crisis and tells how to deal with each. He then discusses crisis forecasting and how to calculate the Crisis Impact Value.
