Emergency Action Plans
The Laboratory Safety Manual requires principal investigators and laboratory supervisors to develop emergency action plans for their laboratories. Refer to Section C. Emergency Planning in the manual for a description of the information that should be included. Note: at least one emergency contact phone number should be available outside of business hours - emergencies can occur anytime.
Instructions for completing the Emergency Action Plan
Post your completed Emergency Action Plan near the room exit for easy retrieval during an incident.
The plan should be reviewed and updated annually.
All personnel must be trained on the emergency action plan and the training documented.
