PLAN OF ACTIONBusinesses should have an emergency action plan in place. An action plan will lay out steps that

employers and employees should take in an emergency situation. The action plan should address all the issues that may come up and should be tailored to suit the businesses specific worksite.

PREVENTIONThe adage ‘prevention is better than cure’ is apt for emergency situations. By taking the right precautions businesses can reduce the chances of emergency situations like a fire, or a shooting. Security check points should be established to ensure that no individual is allowed to possess a dangerous weapon. Similarly, proper housekeeping practices can help keep the workspace free of fire hazards.

EVACUATION PROCEDUREAn emergency action plan should include an effective method that employees and customers can use to

report fires or any other emergency. It should articulate the evacuation procedure; a detailed map for each area of the office. Evacuation process and basic first aid should also be taught to employees.
