OSHA's Evacuation Planning Steps (continued)
- Determine specific procedures that must be completed before evacuation.
Hazardous chemicals should be secured. MSDS and other information vital to enabling the IC to control the release should be gathered and shared with first responders. These procedures should be posted conspicuously and exercised routinely.
-
Decide on procedures to assist those who do not speak or understand English and those who require extra assistance due to a disability.
If the facility includes or could include individuals who do not speak English, enlist the aid of multi-lingual employees or add signage in other languages to assist them in the evacuation process.
