Fire Emergency Evacuation Plan
A fire evacuation plan is a detailed strategy that outlines the procedures, routes, and responsibilities for safely exiting a building during a fire emergency.
In the USA, employers with 10 or more employees are required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to have a fire evacuation plan. It is your legal duty to ensure that there are adequate fire evacuation procedures in place, with additional evacuation procedures for disabled people. To help identify fire evacuation procedures, evacuation routes and the location of fire fighting equipment to staff and visitors, it is recommended that floor plans are prepared and displayed in prominent locations.
