Statutory Mandate Across Workplaces
Under the Factories Act, state-specific Shops and Commercial Establishments Acts, and National Building Code (NBC) guidelines, employers bear legal accountability for workplace life safety, emergency egress, and trained first responders.
Key Elements of a Valid Emergency Preparedness Program
- Designated Warden Certification: Training floor wardens, stairwell marshals, and searchers on emergency protocol, headcounts, and designated assembly points.
- First Aid & CPR Preparedness: Practical hands-on training for basic life support (BLS), AED operation, and triage.
- Periodic Controlled Evacuation Drills: Simulating real-world obstruction scenarios to test egress speed and alarm system effectiveness.
- Statutory Evacuation Logs: Maintaining proper logbooks, photo documentation, and observer reports required for facility audits and insurance reviews.
