The Occupational Health and Safety Act (OSHA Act 85 of 1993) requires every business to have an Evacuation and Emergency Response Plan, applicable to the premises at which they conduct their business. This plan must be rehearsed and tested for effectiveness at least once a year, or once every 12 months.

Emergency planning for your workplace- Book cover

The who, what and how of emergency planning for your business by Laurence Palmer.  © 2021 Laurence Palmer.  All rights reserved.

Emergency response planning, and all the supporting elements that go with it, is a legal requirement for all businesses, that occupy premises and employ people. The Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA Act 85 of 1993) requires every business to have an Evacuation and Emergency Response Plan, applicable to the premises at which they conduct their business. This plan must be rehearsed and tested for effectiveness at least once a year, or once every 12 months.

I assume that not only do many businesses operate without such a plan but those that do have a plan do not exercise it as required by law. The tragedy manifests itself when the business encounters a fire or natural disaster due to an unforeseen or unexpected event. If not adequately prepared for it, it may result in dire consequences for the business and its employees.

The generic plan and guidelines set out in this document are intended to provide a user-friendly platform that will empower you, the individual responsible for the safety and emergency preparedness, to prepare and exercise a relevant safety and emergency response plan, for the business.

Although the basis of this document is my 25 years of practical experience and every care has been taken in compiling it, it is not possible to capture every possible eventuality.  Therefore, you are required to complete the templates with due care and apply any unique scenarios, that may apply to your specific business.

The generic basis for the plans is a large Petrochemical Storage and Manufacturing facility, which I believe provides a very comprehensive and multi-faceted approach to emergency planning, which will cover most of the possible scenarios encountered in a Commercial or Industrial facility.

Thank you for your support in purchasing this publication.  I trust that the application thereof will benefit your business going forward, save lives, prevent injury,   and protect assets. – Laurence Palmer
