A Practical Checklist An On-Site Emergency

Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services – 

Essential items to include in every emergency checklist are:

  • An evacuation plan with clearly marked exits and assembly points.
  • Emergency contact numbers, including local emergency services and poison control.
  • Location and proper use of fire extinguishers, automated external defibrillators (AEDs), and first-aid kits
  • Procedures for shutting down utilities, such as gas and electricity, in an emergency.
  • Food safety protocols in case of power outages or other events compromising food quality.
  • Communication plan for informing employees and guests of the situation.
  • Shelter-in-place procedures, if applicable.

Customizing the checklist is critical to ensure its effectiveness. Depending on your organization’s specific circumstances, you might need to add additional items.
