Emergency Preparedness Planning - Now Is The Time!

Emergency preparedness is not a new OSHA Standard. Regulation number 1910.38, Emergency Action Plans, is designed to encourage organizations to prepare for situations requiring emergency evacuation and control. The list of situations a company might face is extensive. Natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes and floods, manufacturing accidents, fire, and bomb and terror threats are broad categories that the emergency preparedness regulation is designed to address.    Additionally, companies today must also be prepared to deal with health related threats such as swine flu, avian flu, or a general pandemic flu outbreak.

Train your employees to understand their role in your emergency preparedness plan.   Knowing what to do in an emergency evacuation situation is as vital role as fire fighting.    The Training Network offers a wide selection of emergency preparedness training videos to help you accomplish this goal.
