Emergency response program evacuation

The standard requires each employer that falls under nrunber one or two above to develop and implement a written safety and health program which includes an emergency response plan (ERP). Those who fall under nrunber three must develop an ERP. An employer who will evacuate employees from the danger area when an emergency occurs, and who will not permit employees to assist with the emergency, is exempt from the ERP requirement if an emergency action plan is developed in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.35 is prepared.

Have evacuation routes clearly marked on emergency maps. Employees must follow these routes during practice drills. Also, the program must provide alternative routes to be taken if the primary routes are not accessible. Assign to specific employees the responsibility of taking a head count once everyone has assembled at a preplanned area away from the building.
