Emergency Response Plan (ERP)

Emergency Response Plan

Documented arrangements for responding to foreseeable emergencies, including roles, communication and recovery actions.

Examples

  1. 01The emergency response plan defines who calls the fire brigade, who checks the assembly points and who shuts down the gas supply.
  2. 02Twice a year, an evacuation drill tests the emergency response plan, and supervisors check that everyone reaches the assembly point within 4 minutes.
  3. 03When the drill shows that night-shift staff do not know the second exit, the emergency response plan and training are updated.
