The document discusses emergency action plans (EAPs), which organize employee and employer responses to workplace emergencies. Key components of an effective EAP include procedures for reporting fires and other emergencies, evacuation routes, accounting for employees after evacuation, and contacts for plan information. EAPs should address natural disasters like fires, floods, and earthquakes as well as technological emergencies such as explosions, hazardous material releases, and utility failures. Developing an effective EAP involves establishing responsibilities, conducting training and drills, reviewing and updating the plan regularly, and customizing it to the specific workplace.
