How has COVID Compromised your Emergency Plans?

01. "Emergency contact details for key personnel who have specific roles or responsibilities under the emergency plan, for example fire wardens, floor wardens and first aid officers."

Action: Review your warden assignments, checking coverage by warden role and area, and ensure you confirm and record acceptance from each warden on their revised responsibility.

02. “Contact details for COVID-19 information lines”.

Action: Record the details and make them available to the EPC, ECO and entire warden team - ideally via a central repository with all your related fire and emergency related documents and records for compliance purposes.

03. “A description of the mechanisms for alerting people to an emergency or possible emergency – this may be affected by remote working”.

Action: Being able to send real-time updates / emergency communications to all staff and wardens means you avoid unnecessary safety risk exposure. With COVID, immediate communication and response times are vital.

04. “Contact details for COVID-19 information lines”.

Action: Record the details and make them available to the EPC, ECO and entire warden team - ideally via a central repository with all your related fire and emergency related documents and records for compliance purposes.

05. “The post-incident follow-up process, including who must be notified. (This may include the process for notifying the business if a worker experiences an emergency while working from home) ”.

Action: All communications and correspondence should be retained for compliance purposes, securely stored and easily accessed in the event of any incident review or audit.
