This video highlights the use and concepts behind doing an HVA. Point to the tool in the Resource Center and urge its use. #13 An emergency response team (ERT) has been formed to help implement the emergency response plan.

This video discusses being sensitive to various special needs populations and mention that the local fire department can help with this issue. The Americans with Disabilities Act may also provide guidance. #17 Arrangements are in place to accommodate the needs of people with disabilities during an emergency.

This video discusses some examples of how an alert and notification system doesn't have to be expensive. A whistle or boat 'fog horn' can do the job. The key is to make sure that the technique covers every part of the facility. #18 There is a procedure for alerting those onsite to a disruption during normal work hours.

This video explains the general role of a Safety Warden and that they are part of the ERT. Discuss some of their responsibilities and the need for ongoing training. #16 Volunteers (i.e., Safety Wardens) have been recruited to work with the emergency response team during a crisis.

This video explains how call trees and online tracking of numbers get out-of-date easily. People move, change names (e.g., marriage), change telephone companies and email addresses - so organizations must stay current on contact information. Also mention the 'out of town relative' number (sometimes called the grandma number). #21 Emergency contact information (staff, clients, key vendors, utilities, etc.) is updated at least annually.

This video explains that staff can play two roles on the ERT. Some make on-site decisions while others are volunteers who play a key role in helping with traffic flow and security during a crisis #14 Management has assigned key positions on the emergency response team to staff members.

This video picks up on the points above regarding both safety and firefighting. Highlight the different types of training and point out this same training is also useful in everyday life. #39 At least 10% of our staff has received emergency medical training (e.g., CPR, AED, 1st Aid, protection against blood-borne pathogens, etc.).

Pointing out where this equipment is located should be part of everyone's safety orientation. Also, remind them that in an emergency to bring the equipment with them. Suggest that people interested in learning more should approach management about additional training. #30 Life-saving equipment (e.g., AEDs, 1st Aid Kits, emergency radios, etc.) is quickly accessible on-site

This video makes the point that fires are very common hazards and that no one should try to fight a fire without training. However, they need equipment to do so, even it if it is just an A-B-C fire extinguisher. These should be located in prominent and easy to reach locations throughout the facility and inspected annually to make sure they are in good operating condition. #32 Our facility is equipped with all required fire suppression equipment such as fire extinguishers.

This video contains a quick discussion suggesting how to test this system. For example, send people to all parts of the facility and note when they hear or read something. Include a short mention of social media and texting as alerting mechanisms in this video. #31 We have a tested facility-wide warning system.
