Environmental Health & Safety has launched the new EHS Assistant (EHSA) system. To ensure ease of adoption and understanding, it is rolling out in phases. During each phase, EH&S will contact and arrange an orientation followed by access to the system. Access to the system will not be granted until orientation is complete. For questions, contact EH&S at EHSASupport@uab.edu

Building Emergency Plan Template for Building Administrators
All emergencies require proper planning. Proper planning involves the processes of mitigation, preparation, response and recovery. We like to use the equation:

diligent preparation + organized response = successful recovery

Do the people in your building or department know what to do in case of fire? What about during a severe weather event? Each building at UAB should have a Building Disaster Plan, and all employees should be trained on the actions they should take during emergencies.

In preparation for emergencies, EHS has provided tools to assist you in developing your plan. Keep in mind that your plan must integrate with the overall plan for your building and the University. Below are the Severe Weather Gathering Points for your area, as well as a template for developing your Building Emergency Action Plan.
