Frequently Asked Questions

What is an emergency action plan?

An emergency action plan (EAP) is a written document that outlines how a company will respond to workplace emergencies - including fires, severe weather, medical emergencies, chemical spills, active shooter situations and evacuations. It defines procedures, roles and communication protocols.

What should an emergency action plan include?

An EAP typically includes types of emergencies covered, evacuation procedures and routes, assembly points, designated roles (evacuation coordinators, first responders), emergency contacts, alarm systems, procedures for employees with disabilities, training requirements and a plan-review schedule.

Is an emergency action plan required by OSHA?

Yes - in the US, OSHA requires written emergency action plans for most workplaces with 11 or more employees (29 CFR 1910.38). The plan must cover specific elements and be communicated to all employees. Smaller workplaces may communicate the plan orally but should still document it for clarity and compliance.

How do you write an emergency action plan?

Start by identifying the emergencies most likely to affect your workplace. Define evacuation routes, assembly points and roles for each emergency. Document communication procedures, including how to alert employees and contact emergency services. Train every employee on the plan and run regular drills.

How often should an emergency action plan be updated?

Review the EAP at least annually, after any drill or actual emergency, when the workplace layout changes, when new hazards are introduced and when responsibilities or contacts change. Outdated plans can fail in real emergencies - keep yours current and tested.
