Survival Kit for Your Workplace
All too often we over look the idea of being away from home when a natural disaster may occur. Here are some important things to have in the office.
Assemble a survival kit for the workplace with the following supplies:
- Food (nonperishable -- nutrition bars, trail mix, etc.)
- Bottled water
- Jacket or sweatshirt
- pair of sturdy shoes
- Flashlight with fresh batteries
- Battery-operated radio with fresh batteries
- Essential medications
- Blanket
- Small first aid kit
- Extra pair of eyeglasses and/or contact lens solution.
- Whistle or other signaling device
Evacuation Plans
If an earthquake occurs, you may need to evacuate a damaged area afterward. By planning and practicing for evacuation, you will be better prepared to respond appropriately and efficiently to signs of danger or to directions by civil authorities.
- Take a few minutes with your co workers to discuss a office evacuation plan. Sketch a floor plan of your office; walk through each area and discuss evacuation details.
- Plan a second way to exit from each area, if possible. If you need special equipment, such as a rope ladder, mark where it is located.
- Mark where your emergency food, water, first aid kits, and fire extinguishers are located.
- Mark where the utility switches or valves are located so that they can be turned off, if possible.
- Indicate the location of your co worker emergency outdoor meeting place
