What you need
- Slide deck on a screen or TV, or printed slides
- A stepstool or small stepladder for the demonstration
- An extension cord and a power strip to show what to check
- Your office floor plan with exit routes and the meeting spot marked
- Your emergency action plan, or the notes you use to explain it
- Printed quizzes, the answer key and pens
- Handouts, one per person
- Sign-in sheet and certificates of completion
Tips from the guide
- Hold the session in the office itself so you can point to real exits, cords, panels and shelves.
- Ask people to name hazards they walk past every day; they usually know where the problems are.
- Keep it about fixing conditions, not blaming the person who left a box in the hallway.
QUIZ
3 of the 10 quiz questions
Pick your answer, then open it. The kit's answer key has them all.
How must an exit route door open from the inside?
- With a key kept at the front desk
- At all times, without keys, tools or special knowledge
- Only during business hours
- With a door code that staff know
Show the answer
B. Employees must be able to open an exit route door from the inside at all times without keys, tools or special knowledge.
You find a power strip with a cracked case. What should happen?
- Take it out of service until it is repaired and tested safe
- Wrap the crack with tape and keep using it
- Use it only for light loads, like a phone charger
Show the answer
A. If there is a defect or damage that might expose an employee to injury, the item is removed from service and nobody may use it until it is repaired and tested safe.
A leak makes a hallway floor slippery, and it cannot be fixed right away. What must happen?
- Guard it so nobody uses that area until it is fixed
- Keep walking on it carefully
- Bring it up at next month's meeting
- Put a paper towel over it
Show the answer
A. If a hazardous condition on a walking surface cannot be corrected right away, it must be guarded to keep employees off it until it is repaired.
