Emergencies can create a variety of hazards for workers in the impacted area. Preparing before an emergency incident plays a vital role in ensuring that employers and workers have the necessary equipment, know where to go, and know how to keep themselves safe when an emergency occurs. Our Emergency Preparedness and Response Programs provide both training and written programs for emergencies and the hazards to be aware of when an emergency occurs.  EREC will provide information for employers and workers who will be responding to the emergency.
