In plain English
OSHA is updating rules to require businesses to have detailed emergency action plans covering evacuations, shelter-in-place procedures, and how to account for employees during workplace crises. Small-business owners need to write an emergency plan, train staff at least yearly on what to do, post evacuation maps, and test procedures regularly to make sure they work.
