Emergency Drill and Exercise Plan

Company Name: ___________________________

This plan is approved and is effective immediately. This plan applies to every facility in the company site. Dated: Authority - This plan is developed as part of the Emergency Operations Plan. Purpose The purpose of this plan is to enhance the companys workers and staff of preparedness for emergencies and disasters by establishing a program of emergency drills and exercises. Terms A DRILL is an exercise in which predetermined response actions are implemented. AN EXERCISE is a scenario-based event to train and prepare for implementing emergency actions and the companys emergency operations plan. Situation The Companys workers and staff are potentially exposed to hazards for which emergency procedures have been established including: 1. Fires, explosions and hazardous materials spill within the work-site that might require a building evacuation (this is called an evacuation or fire drill). 2. Unlikely weather such as sand storm or other high wind events which may, and most likely will, require a severe weather shelter. 3. Hazardous materials spill by accident that could release a hazardous substance requiring a shelter-in-place. 4. Bomb threats and other acts of terrorism that may require a decision tree on whether to evacuate or search with the workers in the place. The response to a bomb threat may include a modified evacuation or a modified lockdown. 5. Other more complex emergencies may also arise. The best method to prepare for these emergencies is to conduct table top or functional exercises to develop emergency management skills. Concept of Operation Objectives
