The information in this plan is not intended for casual reading, but is intended to get the appropriate message across. We present the material for training in the following manner: Classroom instruction that uses lecture, discussion, videotape, and/or conference formats Practical instruction that uses demonstration,practical exercises and drills Hands-on instruction formats Safety meetings Handouts, memorandums, or e-mail; posters; mentors; and performance reviews for training. We communicate the contents of this plan through a presentation followed by a drill. White Arrow performs drills for the following emergencies: o Emergency Evacuation We hold these drills annually. After a drill, the Plan Administrator judges the effectiveness of the plan and reviews any employee input concerning the drill. Employees performing the drill may identify something that did not follow procedure or was ineffective. For example, they may discover doors that would not open; they may enter storage closets instead of exiting; they may get lost and confused or they may carry a suspicious package through the facility. These are the types of things the Plan Administrator needs to hear about after a drill. That way, they can be addressed before a real emergency.
