Main Topics Covered in this Course Include:

- Assisting and Directing
Opening Remarks:
Emergency Training Division has developed this online training program for Emergency Evacuation Coordinators. This includes personnel who are responsible for directing and assisting employees during evacuations or in-place sheltering.
CERTIFICATION
Certificates of completion may be received by the participant once a score of 80% or greater is achieved. The participant may take the quiz as many times as necessary in order to reach the 80% score.
In addition, each participant must complete the training on an individual basis. If you ask someone else to go through the program for you, you will not learn the information you will need to ensure the health and safety of Emergency Response Team members. This will render your certificate null and void.

Legal Requirements
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), as well as state and provincial requirements, an employer must develop a written Emergency Action Plan that describes evacuation procedures.
In addition, the employer must designate and train employees to assist in the safe and orderly evacuation of other employees. These requirements are listed in OSHA’s standard on Emergency Action Plans.
