Emergency Action Plans for Office Employees - Online

Emergency Action Plans for Office Employees

Emergencies are unforeseen situations that present an immediate threat to life, health, property or the environment. Emergencies can happen without warning in any work environment, including offices.

Who needs Emergency Action Plans for Offices training?

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers with more than 10 employees to have a written emergency action plan, or EAP, for their facilities. Employees must be trained over their responsibilities under the EAP. While offices might not have the same hazards as some other workplaces, emergencies such as fire, injuries and severe weather can still affect them.
