DOL OSHA EAP

What do the initials EAP stand for?

The initials EAP stand for Emergency Action Plan.

Betances Electrical LLC will prepare your EAP!

An EAP is required by OSHA for businesses. The purpose is to direct workers during emergencies that may happen at the business location. A good plan and properly trained workers will result in fewer injuries, less severe injuries, and less structural damage to the facility during the emergency.

We make your EAP meet the requirements.

Hire Betances Electrical LLC to stop by for a workplace evaluation of your business. We will put together an EAP that helps with the issues your worksite may face.

The EAP we prepare for your business will describe how employees should respond to different types of emergencies. It will take into account the worksite emergency system, layout, and structure. We will then go over the EAP with your employees. The commitment and support of all employees is critical to the plan's success in the event of an emergency.

Occupational Safety and Health Standards

Subpart: Exit Routes and Emergency Planning

Title: Emergency Action Plans

Application

An employer must have an EAP whenever an OSHA standard in this part requires one. The requirements in this section apply to each such emergency action plan.

We establish the plan.

You implement the plan.

The plan will include but is not limited to:

Means of reporting fires / emergencies
Evacuation procedures
Emergency escape route assignments
Procedures for employees who remain to operate critical plant operations before they evacuate
Accounting for all employees after an emergency evacuation has been completed
Rescue duties
Medical duties
Names or titles of emergency contacts

Develop your EAP.

Drafting the EAP is not enough to ensure the safety of your employees. When an evacuation is necessary, you will need responsible, trained individuals who can supervise and coordinate activities to ensure a safe and successful evacuation. An EAP is only good if its content is up to date, employees are sufficiently educated, and trained before an actual evacuation.
