Emergency Action Plan
OSHA general industry regulations at 29 CFR 1910.38 require a written emergency action plan for all workplaces with 11 or more employees on site at any given time. J Connor & Associates provides a written plan that can, and must, be easily customized to your facility.
An emergency action plan must cover the following:
1. procedures for reporting a fire or other emergency
2. procedures for emergency evacuation, including type of evacuation and evacuation routes
3. procedures to be followed by employees who remain to operate critical plant operations before they evacuate
4. procedures to account for all employees after the evacuation
5. procedures to be followed for all employees performing rescue or medical duties, and
6. name or job title of every employee who may be contacted by employees who need more information about the plan or an explanation of their duties under the plan.
As a general observation, even though OSHA allows an employer with 10 or fewer employees to communicate the components of an emergency action plan verbally to their employees, having a written plan allows any employer to consistently and accurately communicate that information to their employees.
