Developing and Implementing the Emergency Action Plan
Drafting an EAP is not enough to ensure the safety of your employees.
6 Steps to Developing an EAP.
When an evacuation is necessary, you will need responsible and trained individuals who can supervise and coordinate activities to ensure a safe and successful evacuation. An EAP will be useful only if its content is up-to-date and employees are sufficiently educated and trained before an actual evacuation.
Conduct the following steps to successfully develop and implement your plan:
- Development the emergency action plan;
- Establish authority;
- Conduct employee training and plan review;
- Review, coordinate and update the plan.
We will be covering these four EAP steps in the following modules of this course. Now that you have read through the basic overview of an emergency action plan, find out how to develop the written plan in the next module. But first, make sure you take the module review quiz.
