LESSON 2 FINALS Flashcards
you don’t normally start a journey
until you have some idea where you’d like to end up. To identify where you hope
to be, ask a simple questions.
Determining your objectives and scope
a team of people is needed to adequately develop a
plan. Your knowledge base may be one of great breadth, but you’ll need the
assistance of people whose knowledge has real depth to it.
Identify the resources
depending on the scope of the emergency
plan, costs can quickly escalate.
Understanding the Costs Involved
is a position that should not be
granted without careful thought. The elected individual should be sensible, able to
direct and delegate, able to communicate with all levels of the organization, and
most importantly, able to make decision without fear of being vetoed by others.
Emergency planning director
requires employers to evaluate
the hazards that exist at their workplace and create an emergency plan specific to
their business.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
OSHA does not provide businesses a “canned” safety plan because every
businesses is unique and the exposure to hazards is different. T OR F

types of emergencies that you must prepare for.
Geographic Location
When performing a risk analysis for a building based on its geographic location,
we sometimes focus on the natural, weather-related events. T OR F
TRUE
A logical starting point for determining risk would be to list any hazard that may
occur. Upon completion of that list, you would then rank the hazards in order of
probability
Risk Assessment Matrix
Many of the hazards that exist in the community may be “hidden” hazards which
might be easily overlooked. T OR F
TRUE
has created an excellent
matrix for performing a risk analysis.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA)
is effective because it allows you to
assign a probability factor and human, property, and business impacts in addition
to an internal and external resource scale.
The matrix
exists to save lives and reduce injuries in the event of
an emergency. It provides the means and methods to help you plan, survive, and recover
from an emergency.
The emergency action plan
GIVE 3 regulations that identify the
minimum requirements of an emergency action plan.
*Emergency escape procedures
* Description of potential hazards
