Having an emergency response plan is essential for businesses of all sizes, across every industry. But in energy facilities, particularly those dealing with hazardous or explosive materials, it becomes a crucial, and often strictly regulated life safety requirement.
In an emergency, not only is it critical to identify where all employees are located, but also that any visitors, contractors, or vendor partners are all accounted for and safely evacuated. When an alarm sounds, duty of care requirements and regulatory requirements dictate that companies have protocols in place to effectively respond to an emergency and know precisely who is on-site and that everyone can exit as quickly and safely as possible. Equally important is making sure that everyone at the facility is aware of and follows emergency guidelines.
