Your Response: At Work

Be Prepared

Remember what was said earlier about an ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure? Not only do we want to prevent a terrorist attack, but we want to prevent disaster in the event there is an emergency.  The following are some tips to help you do that:

1) Know where your facility’s emergency action plan is located and study it before you need to use it.

2) Participate in all evacuation drills.

  • Recognize what the evacuation signal is.
  • Know in advance your evacuation route.
  • Listen for any instructions.
  • Shut down any equipment under your control.
  • Proceed to your designated assembly area.
