- Preparing for an emergency evacuation – an emergency evacuation should be put in place dictating what should occur in a variety of situations. This includes outlining exit points, meeting places, and appropriate follow-up. All evacuation plans should be outlined
- Allow first responders access to the area – ensure that any meeting places do not inhibit the access of first responders getting out to the emergency. You can conduct your procedures in a manner that does not interfere.
- Ensure you know who was onsite – you may have a list of employees and contractors that should be onsite, but do you know if there were any visitors that you need to account for? A visitor management system can provide you with this information, that way you can ensure that everyone in the area has been evacuated as necessary.
