Emergency Preparedness
When an emergency happens, your plan is already too late to write.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.38 requires employers with more than 10 employees to maintain a written Emergency Action Plan. Docera builds plans that are compliant, practical, and actually used.
The regulatory reality for your business
Federal law is clear: if you have more than 10 employees, your Emergency Action Plan must be in writing. Smaller employers may communicate plans orally — but in practice, a documented plan protects everyone. Docera helps businesses of every size build emergency preparedness programs that satisfy OSHA, protect employees, and hold up under scrutiny.
Emergency Action Plans
Employers with more than 10 employees must have a written EAP covering procedures for reporting emergencies, evacuation routes, employee accounting, rescue and medical duties, and contact information for plan coordinators.
Fire Prevention Plans
Where required by OSHA standards, employers must maintain a written Fire Prevention Plan covering fuel sources, ignition sources, housekeeping procedures, and employee training.
Employee Alarm Systems
Employers must provide and maintain an alarm system capable of alerting all employees in the event of an emergency, with regular testing and maintenance documentation.
