Does the plan outline specific evacuation routes and exits
and are they posted in the workplace where they are
easily accessible to all employees?- Does the plan address procedures for assisting people during evacuations?
- Does the plan ensure that sufficient medical resources are en route and available on the receiving end of the evacuation?
- Does the plan identify one or more assembly areas (as necessary for different types of emergencies) where employees will gather and a method for accounting for all employees?
- Does the plan address how visitors will be assisted in evacuation and accounted for?
- Is an organized discharge routine in place to handle large numbers of patients upon short notice?
