17 Common Mistakes in Emergency Plans

Compliance Standards OSHA State Fire Code NFPA 1600

Common Mistakes Planning Ignores: Visitors 24/7/365 Coaches Volunteers Substitutes

Common Mistakes Headcounts & AAs Employees Visitors 24/7/365 Coaches Coaches Volunteers Volunteers Subs Subs

Common Mistakes Headcounts & AAs Required by Fed Law for Employees, Everyone! Must Have a Real Procedure Must be Able to Account for Everyone to Em Services for Any Hazard

Emergency Team

OSHA Requires Every Emp: Emergency Team

Police /Fire /EMTs are not the 1 st responders Employees are the 1st responders

“Emergencies don’t keep office hours.”

Size: Emergency Team???

Em Team Size Too Few Team Members NFPA 1600: 1:3 - 1:7 DHS: 1:5

Common Mistakes Emergency Team 1.Is it Real? 2.Not Clear Cut Who Commands in Absence of Top People 3.Fail to Command Everyone

Emergency Team Too Small: DHS/NIMS 1:5 Not Trained Too Few Radios Not Deployed: All Bldgs All Hours All Year Long

Recommendation Train Many Employees As Emergency Response Team

Training “Train Everyone… Including the Band.”

OCEANOS

Oceanos Personnel Sinking

Oceanos Personnel Sinking Capt & Crew Abandoned 1 st

Oceanos Personnel Sinking Capt & Crew Abandoned 1 st They Raised No Alarm!

Oceanos "When I give the order abandon ship, it doesn't matter what time I leave. Abandon is for everybody. If some people want to stay, they can stay."
