Hazardous Materials Incident Business and Employer Emergency Checklist

Business owners need to be prepared in the event of a natural disaster or an emergency situation. Hazardous materials come in the form of explosives, flammable and combustible substances, poisons and radioactive materials. Hazards can occur during production, storage, transportation, use or disposal. You and your community are at risk if a chemical is used unsafely or released in harmful amounts into the environment where you live, work or play. Many communities have Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) whose responsibilities include collecting information about hazardous materials in the community and planning made available to the public upon request. Contact your local emergency management office for more information on LEPCs The Hazardous Materials Incident Business and Employer Emergency Checklist mobile app allows you to replace your paper emergency preparation checklist with an Android or iPhone. The mobile form includes fields to document items such as date, business name, and address, employer/ owner, hazardous materials incident emergency action and checklist and captures signatures. Once the mobile app is filled out a secure PDF is generated. The PDF is easy to share, and a copy is stored in your account for your employee safety records. You can also use the App Builder to personalize and customize this mobile form.
