OSHA requires a written plan for businesses with more than 10 employees. Employees must be designated to assist with orderly evacuation procedures and accountability measures. All employees must be trained on how to report incidents and how to take protective measures.

In order for employees to recognize a potential serious event and for them to act promptly, taking the right steps, their training must instill confidence.

Not only does staff have to respond, some events may cause business interruptions. Your building may be temporary closed due to damages or power outages, flooding can block streets​​​​. How will you continue to supply your customers with your goods and services? By following your continuity of operations plan.
