EVACUATION PLAN DRAFTING PROCESS

The purpose of this evacuation plan drafting process is to ensure that a user (employer) has a comprehensive evacuation plan in place for their organisation in order to ensure employees and other interested parties can quickly and safely evacuate the work premises in the event of a fire or other type of emergency.

This evacuation plan drafting process is aimed at small organisations whose employee count is less than fifty (50) employees.

WHO NEEDS TO USE THIS?

This evacuation plan drafting process is intended for all companies who need to implement an evacuation plan within their organisation.

WHY IS THIS EVACUATION PLAN DRAFTING PROCESS IMPORTANT?

This evacuation plan drafting process is important because it creates and develops a comprehensive evacuation plan for an organisation. Through it, details of evacuation routes for employees to take in the event of a fire or other types of emergencies and details of emergency systems such as alarm systems and emergency lighting systems are documented and made available for awareness and understanding.

This assists in helping the organisation provide a safe working environment for its employees and provides evidence to an inspector that the organisation is pro-actively taking steps to ensure a safe workplace and comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and its Regulations.
