mergencies can be completely eliminated, but if you have a strong emergency response plan and if your workers are trained to respond appropriately and quickly, then you can possibly save many lives.

But how good is your emergency action plan? Here are a few questions that should be asked:
- Is there a way to report emergencies after an incident?
- Who should be responsible for making decisions during an emergency?
- Does everyone in your workplace know what safety procedures to follow in case of an emergency?
- Do all the workers know about the escape routes and evacuation procedures?
- Do your workers know where the emergency supplies are?
You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
Although accidents and mishaps can be eliminated through OSHA courses such as 24 hour hazwoper, it is still good to have emergency plans as there are still things or events that we cannot stop such as acts of nature - storms, earthquakes etc.
