Whose responsibility is the establishment of the Emergency Action Plan?

• A. Supervisors
• B. Employers
• C. Employees
• D. Safety Committee

Answer: (B)

The main concept tested is accountability for safety planning. The Emergency Action Plan is the employer’s responsibility to establish, implement, and maintain. OSHA requires the employer to develop the plan, designate who is responsible for various actions, provide training, and ensure procedures for evacuation, reporting, and employee protection are in place. Supervisors and employees play crucial roles in carrying out and following the plan, and the safety committee can offer recommendations, but the formal duty to create the plan rests with the employer.
