Safety Smarts -Emergency Action Plans & OSHA

This is not a drill.
Every business should have an emergency action plan.  But does just meeting OSHA requirements really prepare you for what may happen?  Does your plan cover all the likely scenarios that your organization may face?  Does your plan help you successfully resume business after the emergency?
In this session we will briefly discuss the requirements and exemptions under the OSHA regulations for emergency action plans, then we’ll dive into some scenarios that test your plans to see if you are ready for the unexpected.  We’ll discuss a development cycle to assist in creating or updating your plans including some tips on training and exercises.  We’ll finish up with next steps; “what happens after the emergency?”
