Employee Training and Education
Employees must know what types of emergencies may occur and what course of action they must take.
In addition to the FPP, make sure all your employees understand the function and elements of your company's OSHA 1910.38, Emergency Action Plan (EAP), including types of potential emergencies, reporting procedures, alarm systems, evacuation plans, and shutdown procedures.
Discuss special hazards your workplace may have such as flammable materials, toxic chemicals, radioactive sources, and/or water-reactive substances. Your training should address the following 7 subjects:
- individual roles and responsibilities
- threats, hazards, and protective actions
- location and operation of manually activated pull stations and communication equipment
- emergency response procedures
- evacuation, shelter, and accountability procedures
- location and use of common emergency equipment
- emergency shutdown procedures
When your employees know how to sound an alarm and/or notify emergency personnel at the first sign of an emergency, it may make the difference between life and death.
