An emergency plan is a legal safety plan for a property that guides the preparedness for accidents and incidents. It helps to anticipate risks, allocate responsibilities and improve safety - both in everyday life and in emergencies.
The emergency plan is drawn up in cooperation with:
Emergency planning is the responsibility of the owner of the building or site, who has control over the whole building. If the requirement to draw up an emergency plan also arises from the nature of the activity, the operator should draw up his own emergency plan to supplement the emergency plan for the building. It is the responsibility of the building owner to ensure that the emergency plans drawn up do not conflict with each other.
The emergency plan is in line with good safety management practice and should be considered even if the legal obligations to draw up a document are not met.
According to the Rescue Act and the Government Decree, a rescue plan is mandatory in the following areas:
Conclusions of the risk and hazard assessment
safety arrangements at the property
Code of practice for accidents and incidents
Guidelines for residents, employees and visitors
Practices for maintaining and updating the plan
The main purpose of the emergency plan is to ensure the safety of people and to promote self-reliance in the event of everyday incidents and emergencies.
