OSHA's Evacuation Planning Steps (continued)
- If applicable, designate individuals who must shut down or continue critical operations.
Certain chemical mixing or reaction processes may need to be continued or shut down in a specific order. Employees should be designated to complete these operations.
-
Designate assembly areas for employees.
If the evacuation is limited to one building or a portion of a facility, assembly areas should be nearby buildings or other shelters where employees will be protected from weather and/or hazards. Designate assembly monitors to account for all employees and train them in procedures for accounting for all personnel and for reporting missing individuals.
