Emergency Action Plan

The Emergency Action Plan (EAP) provides clear procedures for responding quickly and effectively to workplace emergencies. In line with OSHA’s requirements (29 CFR 1910.38), this plan ensures employees know what to do in the event of a fire, chemical spill, medical emergency, severe weather, or other crisis.

A strong emergency action plan includes:

• Evacuation Procedures: Designated escape routes, assembly points, and accountability processes to ensure everyone gets out safely.

• Emergency Reporting: How to report fires, spills, or other incidents, and who to contact first.

• Roles & Responsibilities: Identifying employees with specific duties during emergencies, such as fire wardens or first aid responders.

• Communication Systems: Alarm methods and notification processes to alert employees of an emergency.

• Training & Drills: Regular training and practice drills so employees can respond calmly and effectively under pressure.

By following the Emergency Action Plan, organizations prepare their teams to react quickly, reduce risk, and protect lives and property during critical situations.
