2800: Standard on Facility Emergency Action Plans
$204.15
Identify potential dangers and help keep your facility safer with the new standard for developing emergency action plans for all-hazard emergencies.
NFPA 2800, Standard on Facility Emergency Action Plans, guides the creation of emergency action plans (EAPs) to help keep people safe during emergencies in non-industrial facilities with more than 500 persons, such as high-rise buildings, large offices, entertainment venues, and others. The standard addresses duties, requirements, competencies, and qualifications of relevant facility personnel and establishes minimum criteria for EAPs relating to all-hazard emergencies.
Intended as a companion document to NFPA 1082, Standard for Facilities Fire and Life Safety Director Professional Qualifications, NFPA 2800 outlines strategies based on the “TRIP” concept: total evacuation, remain-in-place, in-facility relocation, and partial evacuation.
Important topics:
- Key roles, including facility fire and life safety director and the members of the facility emergency response team who implement the EAP
- Performing whole-risk assessments
- Occupant response strategies for all-hazard emergencies (not related to an active shooter or hostile events)
- Accommodations for persons with disabilities
- Training, drills, and exercises for emergency action plans
- Post-EAP activation analysis, including documentation and reporting
