WHAT IS AN EMERGENCY?
An emergency can be caused by natural events or human actions.
It is critical to have a plan for any emergency that may occur anytime, anywhere.
![Page 6: FUNDAMENTALS OF safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816580550346895dd819d8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
WORK SETTING
1. Knowing your employer’s Emergency Action Plan (EAP)
2. EAP covers:Evacuation routes and assembly areasMedical response options
Employee notification proceduresTypes of emergencies that could reasonably occur.
![Page 7: FUNDAMENTALS OF safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816580550346895dd819d8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
DEVELOPING AN EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN
1. Describe actions that ensure employee safety during an emergency
2. To map out a floor plan showing emergency routes3. To communicate to employees the actions they are to
take in emergency situations4. To ensure all emergencies that might reasonably be
expected are covered in the plan.

situation
![Page 43: FUNDAMENTALS OF safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816580550346895dd819d8/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
ERGONOMICS
The science of adjusting the environment, task, or procedure to fit the individual.
![Page 44: FUNDAMENTALS OF safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816580550346895dd819d8/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Failure to use proper ergonomic practices can affect almost every part of your body.
Using ergonomics, you should omit unnecessary task and vary activities.
Awkward posture places a person at risk for injuries due to poor ergonomic practices
![Page 45: FUNDAMENTALS OF safety](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816580550346895dd819d8/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
PROPER LIFTING PROCEDURE
Failure to use proper ergonomic practices can affect almost every part of your body.
Using ergonomics, you should omit unnecessary task and vary activities.
Awkward posture places a person at risk for injuries due to poor ergonomic practices
