Emergency Action Plans (EAP) Development / Implementation (Description)

An Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is a written document  required by particular OSHA standards [29 CFR 1910.38(a)]. The purpose of an EAP is to facilitate and organize employer and employee actions during workplace emergencies. Well developed emergency plans and proper employee training (such that employees understand their roles and responsibilities within the plan) will result in fewer and less severe employee injuries and less structural damage to the facility during emergencies. A poorly prepared plan, likely will lead to a disorganized evacuation or emergency response, resulting in confusion, injury, and property damage.

At a minimum, the plan must include but is not limited to the following elements [29 CFR 1910.38(c)]:

 MEANS OF REPORTING FIRES & OTHER EMERGENCIES

EVACUATION PROCEDURES & EMERGENCY ESCAPE ROUTE ASSIGNMENTS

PROCEDURES TO FOLLOW BY EMPLOYEES WHO OPERATE CRITICAL OPERATIONS BEFORE THEY EVACUATE

PROCEDURES TO ACCOUNT FOR ALL EMPLOYEES AFTER AN EMERGENCY EVACUATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED

RESCUE AND MEDICAL ASSIGNMENTS FOR ANY EMPLOYEE ASSIGNED THOSE TASKS
