Emergency Action Plan (EAP)
What is it? The Division of Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) requires every workplace have an Emergency Action Plan (). The Emergency Action Plan outlines important emergency response information such as: Emergency Reporting Procedures Evacuation Routes Assembly Areas Staff Rosters and Accountability Staff Responsible for operating critical plant equipment before evacuation Location of Fire Alarm Pull Stations and Fire Extinguishers Rescue and Medical duties for those able to perform them The EAP must be made available to employees for review at any time. 51�� provides a list of EAPs.
Who is it for? Emergency Action Plans are for 51�� employees. They are specific to work areas and are not department specific, although collaboration is an important aspect of emergency planning and is encouraged for creation of your EAP. A workplace is typically considered any suite of offices, lab, or smaller floor of a building. Each EAP will typically cover up to 20 persons, although exceptions can be made. The creation and update of the Emergency Action Plan is the responsibility of the Building Coordinator of each workspace. Please consult with the Office of Emergency Management if any questions arise during the creation of your EAP or selection of Building Coordinator.
How is it used? EAPs should be used to plan and prepare for emergencies at the workspace level so that if an emergency occurs, 51�� employees will know what to do. For example, the EAP helps to guide, evacuation, assembly, sheltering-in-place and other staff responsibilities.
What can I do? Make sure that your workspace has an up-to-date EAP. If you are not sure where to find your EAP, ask your Building Coordinator.
