Employee Emergency and Fire Prevention Plans

EMPLOYEE EMERGENCY AND FIRE PREVENTION PLANS
Emergencies will occur. The effect of the emergency must be controlled by means
of a proper pre-emergency plan. In order to respond to this need, our company has
developed the following plan which all employees are expected to follow in
preventing or responding to emergency situations that we reasonably expect in our
workplace.
EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN
A. SCOPE AND APPLICATION. As required by OSHA the following

Emergency Action Plan has been developed to ensure employee safety from
fire or other emergencies.
B. ELEMENTS
1. Emergency Escape Procedures. Escape route assignments are posted

throughout the facility. A layout of the facility clearly marked with
escape routes is posted in each department. A copy of the layout is
attached to this policy.
If the alarms sounds or if a supervisor orders the evacuation of the

building, remain calm, walk to the nearest exit and leave the building
immediately. After leaving the building, proceed to the front of the
building and meet at insert meeting place. Do not leave the area. Do
not return into the building. Follow your supervisor's instructions.
In addition to the escape routes, color-coded labels indicate the

locations of fire extinguisher and safety stations. Yellow labels
indicate fire extinguisher locations. Green labels indicate safety
stations.
2. Employees Who Remain to Operate Critical Plant Operations Prior

to Evacuation. As there are no plant processes which would require
continued operation during an emergency, all employees are expected
to leave the plant immediately when an evacuation order is
announced. No provisions are made for employees who remain within
the plant to perform rescue, medical or fire fighting duties.
3. Accounting of All Employees After an Emergency Evacuation.
Within the first 15 minutes of each shift, the supervisor is responsible
for taking attendance of the workers. The attendance sheet should
remain with the supervisor at all times. In the event of an evacuation,
all employees are instructed to leave the
plant, proceed to the front of the building and meet across the street.
The daily attendance sheets will be used to account for the workers. In
the event that a worker is absent, the supervisor may at his own
discretion, sweep the area for the missing employee. Employees must not
leave the area until instructed to do so by the supervisor.
4. Rescue and Medical Duties for Employees. Employees are not

expected to perform any rescue or medical duties. Therefore, there are
no provisions for training employees in these tasks. Municipal
emergency medical and fire facilities are used for emergency medical
treatment. Emergency phone numbers are posted at each production
area phone. At no time should an employee be directed to perform
emergency duties which may endanger his/her life.
5. Preferred Means of Reporting Fires and Other Emergencies. The

preferred means of reporting fires and other emergencies is by phone.
Emergency phone numbers are posted at each production area phone.
In the case of telephone failure, the authorities should be notified in
person.
6. Persons to Contact for Further Information. Enter names of contact

personnel.
B. ALARM SYSTEM
1. Employee Notification of an Emergency. Notification of an

emergency or of an evacuation is communicated to the employees via
the plant intercom system. Directions for the use of the intercom
system are as follows: provide instructions
Ask for the attention of the employees. Speak slowly and clearly.
Describe the area in which the emergency is located. Direct the
employees to walk out of the plant and meet in the front of the
building across the street.
2. Fire Brigade. We do not support a company fire brigade. Employees

are not expected to fight fires, clean up major chemical spills or
participate in rescue procedures.
C. EVACUATION FOR VARIOUS EMERGENCIES
1. Emergency Action Plan for Fire or Chemical Release. In the event of

a fire or a chemical emergency, our policy is to immediately evacuate
all employees from the section of the building directly affected.
Additional evacuation of the building, whether partial or complete, is
left to the discretion of the plant manager or the shift supervisor .
Evacuated employees must report to the enter reporting location. The

supervisor must take attendance to account for all personnel involved.
2. Emergency Action Plan for Electrical Outage. In the event of an

electrical outage, emergency lighting should illuminate the plant. All
employees should report to the lunchroom. All employees should
remain in the lunchroom unless the plant manager or supervisor issues
new instructions.
D. TRAINING OF PERSONNEL
In order to ensure the safe and orderly emergency evacuation of employees,

a sufficient number of personnel should be trained to assist in emergency
procedures. The following personnel should be trained in the emergency
procedure: enter titles of those employees who will be giving special training
such as Plant Manager; Production Supervisor ; Maintenance Supervisor ;
Material Handling Personnel.
1. Periodic Review of Emergency Plans with Employees. A review of

the emergency plans must be completed when the plan is first
developed; whenever the employee's responsibilities or designated
actions under the plan change; and whenever the plan is revised.
2. Review of Emergency Plans with Employees. A review of the
emergency plans must be complete with each new employee prior to
the employee beginning his/her duties within the plant. The supervisor
is responsible for performing the review with new employees, both
production and office. Under no circumstances should a new
employee be allowed to begin work without safety and evacuation
training. A copy of the Emergency Plans will be located enter location
with the intent that it will be available to all workers who wish to
review it.
