Xmo Strata has terrorist threat procedures as part of our business continuity plan – make yourself
familiar with them. Remember that although the recent events are deeply sad, the risk of you being
involved in a terrorist event is very low, work should continue as normal with the above guidance kept
in mind during your LMRA.
We are all a product of learning. Every skill we have; everything we know; everything we believe and everything we do has
been learned throughout the course of our lives. Some of us learn best by studying graphs and charts, some through visual
presentations, and some by reading detailed text books. It is important that we receive information in a format that works for
us as individuals! That’s why at Xmo Strata we use a variety of communication platforms such as bulletins, newsletters,
videos etc. However, if you feel there is a better way for us to share health and safety information, please let us know.
Ultimately, your safety is in your hands – but we will do all we can to keep you well informed!
