EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CHECKLIST Ref:

Project: Page 1 of 1

As part of your responsibility to ensure the safety of people in your workplace, you must make arrangements for a safe and
rapid evacuation in case of an emergency. This checklist will help you develop emergency procedures. You should involve your
workers in developing these procedures. If you share your workplace or worksite with other businesses, you can use the check-
list to co-ordinate your emergency response with them.
If you mark any NO box on the checklist, you need to take action to make your workplace safer.
