Employees Requiring Assistance

Any employee with a permanent or temporary handicap that would hinder his/her timely evacuation MUST notify their manager beforehand.

• It is the responsibility of their manager to ensure co-worker(s) are trained to assist the handicapped employee during evacuations.
  
• If emergency responder assistance is required, the co-worker(s) must immediately notify a Muster Area Coordinator for planning, at the time of emergency so personnel and equipment can be requested through the Incident Command System.
  
• Helping a handicapped visitor to evacuate is the responsibility of the hosting organization. A visitors escort will be responsible for guiding the visitor to the assembly/muster area.
