4. Occupational Safety and Health News and Resources

OSHA Publishes Tools to Aid in Emergency Evacuations

OSHA has recently developed new tools to help employers plan for emergency

response. The Evacuation Planning Matrix provides assistance to employers in

reducing vulnerability to workplace emergencies. The matrix helps employers

evaluate their existing plans or helps them construct new ones, and provides

on-line resources to help develop emergency evacuation plans. OSHA also

developed the Emergency Exit Routes fact sheet, a tool to aid employers and

workers in safely evacuating workplaces during emergencies. The fact sheet

complements the agency's standard on exit routes, and emergency action and

fire prevention plans.  For more information CLICK HERE
