Shelter-in-place (SIP) at work:
Preparation to SIP at work is similar to preparation in the home. It should include the following:
- Write an SIP component into the Emergency Action Plan.
- Designate an appropriate room. It should be an interior room with few (or preferably no) windows, an adjoining bathroom, and storage for SIP supplies.
- Measure all doors, windows, vents and skylights, then pre-cut plastic sheeting to fit with an overlap of 6 inches all the way around.
- Gather supplies, tools, and equipment, similar to home preparation
- Train all employees in their roles in the event of a SIP order. Give floor wardens extra training in leading SIP operations.
