What is Egress and Emergency Action Plans (EEAP)?

Emergencies in the workplace can happen without warning, and knowing how to respond effectively is essential for safety. The Emergency Preparedness and Egress Training course equips workers with the knowledge and skills needed to identify exit routes, understand egress requirements, and follow effective emergency action plans. Through practical guidance and real-world scenarios, learners gain confidence in responding to fires, severe weather, medical incidents, chemical releases, and other hazards. By mastering evacuation procedures and emergency action planning, employees can help protect themselves and their colleagues, ensuring safer outcomes when every second counts.
