In case of emergency: Answers

  1. Answer: No. Employers should have different warnings for different types of emergencies. Evacuation is required for some emergencies, but other situations (like severe weather) require sheltering in place. Employers should have different alarms or even a PA system to communicate the nature of the emergency and the expected employee response.
  2. Answer: No. An earthquake is a sudden, rapid shaking of the ground caused by the breaking and shifting of rock beneath the earth’s surface. The shorter the distance to safety, the better.
  3. Answer: No. According to NFPA 101®, Life Safety Code®, employers should annually test emergency lighting systems for 90 minutes.
