Planning Workplace Emergencies
The Planning Workplace Emergencies course provides essential training on developing and implementing emergency response plans. It covers risk assessment, evacuation procedures, and crisis management to ensure a well-prepared and safe workplace in the event of emergencies.
What is the Planning Workplace Emergencies?
The Planning Workplace Emergencies course from the American Institute of Safety Professionals provides comprehensive training on designing, implementing, testing, and maintaining workplace emergency plans that protect employees during fires, natural disasters, chemical releases, medical emergencies, active threats, utility failures, and every other emergency scenario that can disrupt operations and endanger lives. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.38 requires employers to have a written Emergency Action Plan (EAP) that includes evacuation procedures, emergency reporting procedures, critical operations shutdown, rescue and medical duties, and the alarm system that notifies employees.
The curriculum covers emergency action plan development per OSHA 1910.38, hazard vulnerability assessment (identifying the emergencies most likely to affect the facility), evacuation planning (routes, assembly areas, accountability, mobility-impaired assistance, multi-story considerations), shelter-in-place procedures (chemical release, severe weather, active threat), fire emergency response (alarm, evacuation, extinguisher use, fire department interface), severe weather response (tornado, hurricane, earthquake, flood), active threat response awareness, medical emergency response (first aid, AED, emergency medical services coordination), chemical release response, utility failure response, emergency communication systems (alarms, PA, mass notification, emergency contacts), emergency drill planning and execution, drill evaluation and improvement, and business continuity awareness. All training is delivered 100 percent online through Microsoft Teams and the American Institute of Safety Professionals LMS. Upon completion, graduates receive a certificate, wallet card, and transcript, employer-verifiable at amiosp.com/student-verifications.
