QUICK TIPS FOR NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH
In observance of National Preparedness Month, OSHA is reminding employers about the importance of preparing for emergencies. Emergencies can be the result of man-made or natural causes, and include hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, explosions, civil disturbances, fires, toxic gas releases, chemical spills, radiological accidents, workplace violence and terrorism. All too often, people are forced to evacuate their workplace without warning and when they least expect it. Few people can think clearly in a crisis, and that is why it is so important to prepare for an emergency before it happens. Visit OSHA's Evacuation Plans and Procedures eTool to learn how employers can help prevent severe worker injuries during emergencies.
