This course is an overview of some of the most common workplace emergencies and the actions employees must take to cope with unexpected hazardous situations. Each workplace is unique.

You will be exploring the basic elements of an emergency plan and using them to be effective during a crisis scenario. After taking this course, learners should feel more confident in their ability to read and understand an emergency plan, so they can action in an emergency situation and ensure the safety of anyone they may be responsible for.
