Emergency action plans, or EAPs, describe the actions employees should take

to ensure their safety in the event of a fire or other emergency. Well-developed EAPs and proper employee training (to ensure employees understand their roles and responsibilities under the plan) will result in fewer and less severe employee injuries, in addition to less damage to the facility during emergencies. An EAP must be in writing, kept in the workplace and available to all employees for review. An employer with 10 or fewer employees may communicate the plan orally.

What are EAPs?

PPT-009-01

Слайд 3

EAP Considerations
Any emergency situation that can affect the operation of your

facility such as:
Tornado
Hurricane
Flood.
Security issue (hostages, robberies, etc.)
Hazardous materials incident
Fire
Building collapse
Natural gas leak

PPT-009-01

Слайд 4

Mandatory Elements
All EAPs must have the following:
Procedures for reporting a fire

or other emergency
Procedures for emergency evacuation, including the type of evacuation and exit route assignments
Procedures to be followed by employees who must remain behind to operate critical plant/facility equipment/operations before they evacuate

PPT-009-01

Слайд 5

Mandatory Elements (cont.)
Procedures to account for all employees after evacuation
Procedures to

be followed by employees performing rescue or medical duties
Name and job title of every employee who may be contacted by employees needing more information about the plan or an explanation of their duties under the plan

PPT-009-01

Слайд 6

Important Part of EAP = Means of Egress
Any safety issues here?
Yes!

Exit access obstructed by miscellaneous storage.

PPT-009-01

Слайд 7

Means of Egress
A continuous and unobstructed way of exit

consisting of three parts:
• The pathway to the exit (access)
• The exit itself
• The pathway from the exit (discharge)
Includes both horizontal and vertical ways of travel.

PPT-009-01

Слайд 8

Exits
Exits must be marked by a readily-visible sign.
Every exit sign

must be distinctive and easily identifiable.
Any doors, passageways or stairways which are not exits must be marked “NOT AN EXIT.”

PPT-009-01

Слайд 9

Exits (cont.)
Exits should not be blocked/obstructed at any time.
Exits should not

be chained shut, locked or have any devices applied that make exiting difficult.
Exit areas should be well-lit.
Exit doors should be maintained regularly so they are easily operable.

PPT-009-01

Слайд 10

Developing an EAP
A very simple plan will suffice for offices, small

retail shops and small manufacturing locations where there are few or no hazardous materials processes and employees evacuate when alarms sound or they’re notified by the public address system.

PPT-009-01

Слайд 11

Developing an EAP (cont.)
More complex plans are required in facilities that:
Contain

hazardous materials
Have employees who fight fires or perform rescue and medical tasks
Delay evacuation after alarms sound so they can shut down critical equipment

PPT-009-01

Слайд 12

Developing an EAP (cont.)
EAPs must be site specific with respect to:

Emergency conditions evaluated
Evacuation policies and procedures
Emergency reporting procedures, mechanisms and alarm systems

PPT-009-01

Слайд 13

Suggestion for Developing EAP
Anticipate the worst, and plan for it!
PPT-009-01

Слайд 14

EAP – Planning Process
These elements should be addressed:
Preferred procedures for reporting

emergencies, such as dialing a particular phone number or using a manual fire alarm
A description of the alarm system to be used to notify employees

PPT-009-01

Слайд 15

EAP – Planning Process (cont.)
An evacuation policy, procedure and escape route

assignment so employees understand:
Who is authorized to order an evacuation
Under what conditions an evacuation would be necessary
How to evacuate
What routes to take
• Procedures should describe what actions employees are to take before and while evacuating, such as shutting windows, turning off equipment, etc.

PPT-009-01

Слайд 16

EAPs – Planning Process (cont.)
EAP’s should also include:
• Procedures for sheltering

in place
• Procedures for employees who may be required to use fire extinguishers or shut down electrical systems or other special equipment that could be damaged if left operating
• Procedures to account for all employees after evacuation. This includes assigned safe meeting locations, who will take a roll call, etc.

PPT-009-01

Слайд 17

EAP – Planning Process (cont.)
EAP’s should also include:
• A description of

how employees will be informed of the contents of the plan and trained in their roles and responsibilities
• A list of key personnel who should be notified during off-hour emergencies

PPT-009-01

Слайд 18

Evacuation Plans
• Recommend posting “evacuation maps” on the wall near the

exits and in break areas.
All exits should be identified on the map.
Location of fire extinguishers should be identified.
Check to ensure maps are current.
If current map is not available, draw a simple map and place it on the wall.

Another Important Part of EAP
Fire prevention and protection!
PPT-009-01

Слайд 21

Fires - Class
CLASS A – Ordinary combustibles such as wood,

rubber or plastics
CLASS B – Flammable/combustible liquids and gases such as gasoline, kerosene or propane
CLASS C – Energized electrical equipment (e.g., live wires)
CLASS D – Combustible metals such as titanium and magnesium
CLASS K – “Animal fat” cooking oils

PPT-009-01

Слайд 22

Fire Prevention Plan
Suggested program elements:
List of potential workplace fire hazards
Personnel responsible

for controlling fire hazards
Proper handling and storage procedures to control hazards
Potential ignition sources
Appropriate maintenance and housekeeping

PPT-009-01

Слайд 23

Good EAPs
Are practical, functional and understandable
Are kept updated and available to

all employees (including contracted employees)
Are put in practice by regular drills
Are shared with local emergency response agencies

PPT-009-01

Слайд 24

EAPs - Review
Must have one for each location
Must be communicated to

employees
Must be reviewed at least annually and updated where appropriate
Employees must be trained on proper procedures and they need to understand the plan
Employees’ understanding of and willingness to follow the plan will ensure their safety!
