Department Emergency Action Planning
Department Emergency Action Plans
Creating a resilient campus requires collaborative planning and implementation of Risk Management, Mitigation, Emergency Preparedness, Business Continuity and Employee Personal Preparedness. In a shared goal to protect our faculty, staff, students, visitors, academic and business operations, and our institution’s reputation, diligent attention must be given to each of these pillars of resiliency.
Level I Emergency Action Plan
UCSC departments are required to be compliant with Cal OSHA 3220; the delivery of Emergency Action Plans to their employees. Currently, this requirement is satisfied by completing and distributing the Level I Emergency Action Plan template.
Steps for completing a Level I Emergency Action Plan:
If you are located in a building that houses multiple department or divisions, every respective department must complete an Emergency Action Plan. Post and disseminate this plan to your employees. This is a necessary and required step towards fulfilling your emergency procedural compliance. Cal OSHA 3220 may be reviewed at the following link: https://www.dir.ca.gov/title8/3220.html.
Download the Emergency Action Plan Template, then,
- Enter the building name that your department resides in.
- Enter special operator duties, if applicable.
- Email the completed document to your department employees; include copy to: oem@ucsc.edu.
- Post this document in common breakroom areas.
- Where practical, post these procedures to your department web page or a shared location.
- Review and distribute the EAP annually.
- Include the EAP in new employee onboarding materials.
