Why every workplace needs an emergency plan
If the fire alarm goes and staff don't know the way out, or a flood warning comes in and nobody knows who is in charge, people freeze. Someone can get hurt, and work stops.
The law expects a workplace to have an emergency plan before that happens. Under the model work health and safety laws, every workplace must have one. It has to be written, kept up to date, and put into action in an emergency. A useful plan says who is in charge, how people get out, how you contact emergency services, and how you tell staff what is happening. It also has to be practised, and the workers who will use it need to be shown what to do. Those model laws are in place across Australia, with some local changes, except in Victoria, which has its own occupational health and safety laws.
A wider plan for keeping the organisation going after a disruption is a good idea. It is a different document from the workplace emergency plan.
A lot of plans are written once and then left in a drawer. We write them, review them and test them with the people who will use them. If yours has been sitting there, get in touch and we can talk it through.
Where this comes from: Safe Work Australia, the model WHS Regulations, the emergency plans fact sheet, the model WHS laws, business.gov.au, and Business Queensland's guides on continuity and incident response.
General information, not legal advice. What applies depends on your state or territory and your workplace.
Training and exercises: teaching operational planning techniques so plans cater for the unexpected.
