Discuss with your group what you can do <br />to prevent and prepare for emergencies. <br />Prevention: Is your area free from hazards that could cause an emergency? Ask yourselves "What <br />could happen here?" Have the group discuss three potential emergencies and then make sure that <br />steps have been taken to prevent these. <br />Preparation: is your area prepared if there is an emergency? Some businesses have formal <br />Emergency Response Teams, other do not. Formal teams are not required in order for a response to <br />be effective. What is required is that everyone prepares and works together to resolve the situation. <br />EXERCISE: Take this time to discuss the following questions with the people in your area: <br />What are the possible emergencies? (Fire, spill, medical, storm, etc.) <br />Does everyone know who the Emergency Responders are? <br />Does everyone know how to contact the in-house Emergency Responders? <br />Are 24-hour phone numbers available? <br />Does everyone know where the evacuation congregation area is? <br />Are there plans for verifying that everyone is out of the building? <br />Are facilities (eyewashes or showers) available to decontaminate individuals who are <br />exposed to chemicals? <br />Are supplies (pumps, absorbents) available to pick-up spilled materials? <br />Are first aid supplies and emergency medical services available at all times? <br />II.
