plant operations before they evacuate.
Procedures to account for all employees after an emergency evacuation has

Almost every business is required by law to have an Emergency Action Plan. If
fire extinguishers are required or provided in your workplace, and if anyone
will be evacuating during a fire or other emergency, then the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
requires you to have an Emergency Action Plan. Please check with your legal
counsel to ensure your business complies with government regulations.
