Fire, Rescue, and Medical Services
Even though most people quickly leave dangerous areas during emergencies, a trained team of emergency responders and medical staff are in charge of handling these situations. They contain the risks, rescue people who are in danger, and give medical help to those who are hurt.
Unless the company is a large employer handling hazardous materials and processes or has employees regularly working in hazardous situations, the company will probably choose to rely on local public resources to provide these specialized services.
If you're using outside services like the local fire and police, medical clinics, or ambulance services, make sure they're ready to act as the Emergency Action Plan (EAP) says. They should also know the building well, including any areas that might be risky.
