Fires injure or kill thousands of workers annually. Those are the losses due to fires, but there are other hazardous situations that can threaten the life of a worker and health. These situations include severe weather, medical emergencies, chemical releases, and bomb threats.

We cannot completely eliminate dangerous workplace situations, but we can reduce the number of associated injuries and deaths. This course will focus on two important aspects of this effort: egress and emergency action plan

Emergencies can result in chaos. In these situations, time and communication become critical. Clear avenues of escape and well-understood emergency action plans can reduce the casualties and deaths associated with these emergencies.

After completing this course, learners will be able to:

• Identify the different components of an exit route
• Describe the general recommendations of egress
• Explain the detailed elements of egress
• Discuss the core elements of an emergency action plan

Approximately 30 minutes
