Development and implementation of an emergency response plan at Company XYZ specifically for impaired employees

Abstract

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the best way to develop and implement an emergency response plan at Company XYZ that effectively incorporated the needs of employees with disabilities. The researcher began with a thorough review of the rules, regulations, and recommendations that apply to emergency response plans. The next key part of the study was evaluating the current emergency programs and policies at the company in order to determine what improvements were needed. The evaluation consisted of interviews with managers, reviews of documents, discussions with the safety manager, observations of recorded drills, and a tour of the facility. All data were analyzed qualitatively and compared to the regulations and recommendations from the literature to identify any deficiencies. The author identified some possible controls and procedural changes to improve and implement an emergency response plan at Company XYZ specifically for impaired employees. Recommendations and conclusions were made on how to have and implement an adequate emergency plan.
