You need a written emergency action plan for your workplace, and the rule that requires it does not tell you what to write.
Tick the box above to continue. The button stays off until you do.
A complete fill-in-the-blank written emergency action plan for a fixed workplace. You type your building, your exits, your assembly points, and the names of the people with duties into the blanks, print it, and keep it where your employees can read it. It is built to the required elements of the federal OSHA standard at 29 CFR 1910.38: reporting a fire or other emergency, evacuation and exit route assignments, employees who stay to shut down critical operations, accounting for everyone afterwards, rescue and medical duties, and who to ask about the plan. It also covers the alarm signal rule, the training duty, and the three moments the plan has to be reviewed with each employee. This is the federal baseline. 22 states run their own state safety programs for private employers and those can be stricter than the federal rules, so check your own state before you rely on it. 29 CFR 1910.38 is a general industry standard: construction work is covered by a separate part with its own requirement, which this document does not answer. See the exclusions below.

What's inside
What lands in your inbox
You fill in the document itself and hand it on. The checklist is there so you do not leave a blank in it. Everything else is reference. Every file is a PDF you can type into on screen, or print and write on, so you need nothing else to use it.
The rest of the set
Businesses like yours usually start with these. It is where a trade starts, not a complete legal inventory of everything it could ever be asked for — no list on any website is that. Every line below says where it came from.

We have these written down against this trade but not well enough sourced to tell you a rule demands them. So we are not telling you that.

Exclusions
Before you buy
When a rule changes, or an objection to this plan keeps coming up, we rewrite it and the new version lands in your account. You do not pay again. That applies to everyone who buys, member or not, for as long as we sell this document.
The files are yours the moment payment clears, so we do not give money back just because you no longer want them. You agree to that in the box above the button before you pay, not afterwards in small print.
If a file is the wrong one, will not open, is missing pages, or does not match what this page says, that is on us and we correct it at no cost, member or not. A version fitted to your business is either included with membership or $49 on its own. That promise is the reason the no-refund rule is fair.
Want this plan edited to match how your business actually works? A non-member buys one tailored edit for $49, no membership needed, and it comes back within 2 business days. A Simply Current membership is $30/month and every fitted edit is included — it wins on the second edit.
One more time, plainly: this is United States · federal OSHA baseline · general industry. A state or a city can be stricter than the federal floor, so check your own before you file or submit anything built from it. Anything we add for your state ships as a free update.
