Background – What is a workplace emergency plan?

All workplaces must have an emergency plan.Nobody can foresee when an emergency will occur. An emergency situation can arise from a fire or explosion, chemical spillage, medical emergency, bomb threat, violence, or natural disaster. Your plan will assist staff and visitors in all types of emergencies.

A prepared plan will help you, your workers and your visitors respond to an emergency quickly.A work-related emergency is any situation that puts workers, visitors, or the general public at risk, or causes disruptions or damage to workplace operations.

Employers are required to train staff in emergency procedures at work. These procedures can include how to respond to a fire, earthquake or other emergency, identifying emergency exit locations, and what steps to take to evacuate the building in an emergency. These procedures are specific to each site and should be part of all employees' training. Regular drills and reviews of procedures are essential to ensure everyone can respond appropriately to an emergency.

The information should be included in any orientation to any new job site.
