Morning all,

I am putting together an emergency folder that will be used in the event of a fire etc in our office and passed on to the emergency services. I have included the MSDS and COSHH Assessments for the chemicals we store in our premises.

Is there anything else I should put in this folder?

Many thanks,

Martin

Floor Plan, location of chemicals, location of exits, location of hydrants, contact numbers for relevant staff if fire is out of hours...

What Haggis said, and approximate quantities of chemicals. Also where asbestos is, if any.

Hi Mcham

1st respondent gives a good set of pointers.

You don't identify the type of site or activity, but there's a wealth of info out there. The best is focussed on COMAH sites but it's very easy to trim it back & personalise it to lesser risk sites.

What should be included depends so much on what the site does & stuff it imports, processes & exports.

From my previous [& also current] incarnation, I can vouch for how sloppy & ineffective most of these Emerg Service Responder documents really are.

If you get really stuck, get my contact details from IOSH & drop me an email.

ooooops!

Yes, I did forget the asbestos, didn't I? :o(

I would also add electrical, gas, fuel cut off switches as well.
