Emergency Procedures

Emergency Action Plan (EAP)                                                            

An Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is a comprehensive guideline designed to facilitate and organize employer and employee actions during workplace emergencies. It outlines a systematic, methodical approach to ensure the safety and well-being of employees in the face of an unexpected event, such as fires, severe weather, medical emergencies, chemical spills, or active shooter situations. The plan typically includes procedures for emergency evacuation, routes and exits, critical operations shutdown, communication strategies, and responsibilities of individuals during the crisis. Developing and regularly updating an EAP, while also training employees to follow it, can significantly minimize harm and potential loss during an emergency.
