An employer completing an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) template would address several key areas including:
- Procedures for reporting a fire or other emergency.
- Procedures for emergency evacuation.
- Procedures for employees who remain to perform critical operations before evacuating.
- Procedures for employee accountability after evacuation.
- Procedures for employees performing rescue or medical duties.
- Identification of contact persons for information or explanation of duties under the plan.
- Alarm systems with distinctive signals for emergencies.
- Training employees on the emergency plan.
- Reviewing and updating the plan as necessary.
These components ensure that employees are prepared, informed, and safe during workplace emergencies and that there is an organized response structure in place.
