Emergency Closings Policy

If you are advised to evacuate the building, you should:

– Stop all work immediately.

– Contact outside emergency response agencies, if needed.

– Shut off all electrical equipment and machines, if possible.

– Walk to the nearest exit, including emergency exit doors.

– Exit quickly, but do not run. Do not stop for personal belongings.

– Proceed, in an orderly fashion, to a parking lot near the building. Be present and accounted for during roll call.

– Do not re-enter the building until instructed to do so.

General information, not legal advice. Treat this as a drafting starting point, not a finished policy — employment law varies by jurisdiction and changes often, so have a licensed attorney tailor it to your situation before you rely on it.
