Emergency Plans

It is a legal requirement that all workplaces have an emergency plan.

No one can predict when an emergency is going to take place. Emergency situations may arise due to a fire, explosion, chemical spill, medical emergency, natural disaster, bomb threat or violence. Your plans will help staff and visitors in any type of emergency.

Having a pre-prepared plan is the best way to respond to an emergency before it happens. Your plans will help workers and visitors in the event of an emergency.

A work-related emergency could be any event that endangers workers, visitors or members of the general public, causes damage or disrupts workplace operations.
