- All possible
emergencies, consequences, required actions, written procedures and the
resources available;
- Detailed lists
of personnel including home telephone numbers, duties and responsibilities;
- Floor plans and large
scale maps showing evacuation routes and service conduits (such as gas and
water lines).
CCOHS
suggests conducting a vulnerability assessment to determine which technological
(chemical or physical) and natural hazards pose a threat. Then determine the
likeliness that the threat will occur, the impact it will make and how to
prevent it from happening. Involving others in the planning process and
clearly defining the chain of command for reporting the emergency and activating
the emergency plan are recommended as well. Specific safe locations for staff
to gather for head counts are also essential, CCOHS says. For information on
