OSHA 1910.38 Emergency Action Plan Requirements
Understanding what OSHA requires in your EAP template
Emergency Reporting Procedures
Your EAP must include procedures for reporting fires and other emergencies. This includes designated alarm systems, phone numbers for emergency services, and internal notification chains.
Evacuation Procedures & Routes
Emergency escape procedures and route assignments must be documented. Each work area needs designated primary and secondary fire escape routes with posted maps.
Critical Operations Procedures
Procedures for employees who remain to operate critical plant operations before evacuating. These employees must be trained on shutdown procedures and when to abandon operations.
Employee Accountability
Procedures to account for all employees after evacuation has been completed. This typically involves assembly points, headcounts, and designated accountability officers.
Rescue & Medical Duties
Rescue and medical duties for designated employees. If your workplace provides first aid or has a rescue team, their roles and training requirements must be documented.
Emergency Contacts
Names or job titles of persons who can be contacted for further information about EAP duties. Contact information must be current and readily accessible to all employees.
Written Plan Required: OSHA requires a written emergency action plan for employers with more than 10 employees. Our templates automatically include all required elements formatted for immediate compliance. View full OSHA 1910.38 regulation →
