Varnel Helps Organizations to Prepare for Emergencies
Emergency Action Plans play a critical role in helping organizations prepare for fires and explosions, severe weather, medical emergencies, chemical releases, workplace violence, and other unexpected hazards.
A clear, well-designed plan helps protect people, reduce confusion during a crisis, and support a safer workplace before, during, and after an emergency.
Varnel works with organizations to develop practical, OSHA-aligned Emergency Action Plans tailored to their operations, risks, and responsibilities.
All our offerings meet state requirements for emergency planning.
What Is an Emergency Action Plan?
An Emergency Action Plan (EAP) outlines how employees should respond during different types of emergencies.
​
It defines procedures, roles, communication methods, and coordination steps so people know what to do when time matters.
​Our approach focuses on plans that are:
-
Clear and usable
-
Aligned with regulatory requirements
-
Designed for real workplaces, not templates
All our plans help California businesses comply with Cal/OSHA Title 8 Section 3220, mandating emergency action plans for fires, earthquakes, chemical spills, and other hazard.
