Emergency Planning

Existing OSHA, SARA Title III, and numerous state regulations call for all facilities to meet a number of Emergency Preparedness/Crisis Management requirements. These include:

• That every facility have an "Emergency Plan" that spells out what is to be done in case of an emergency.
• That this plan, as well as other important information, be shared with the local Emergency Planning Committee and emergency response groups such as the police, fire department and others.

• Types of emergencies.
• The emergency plan.
• The "crisis management team".
• Evacuation.

• The role of outside agencies.
• Practice sessions and drills. and more.
