If there is an emergency at work, what should I do to be prepared there?
Make sure you have prepared your emergency plan and a “go bag” at work, so if you have to shelter in place or evacuate, you will have your necessary supplies.

Ask your supervisor for the company’s emergency plan and make sure you understand fully what their plans and policies are. You may also want to plan and practice an evacuation if the company does not routinely offer drills.

If you need assistance, make sure you coordinate with your supervisor and plan with co-workers in advance so they can provide assistance.
