Posted By Raymond Rapp Sian Happy to oblige but, is this part of a course assignment or for the college generally? If you are not competent to do such a task it would be a good idea to inform your employer first, otherwise there could be legal implications should the policy be deemed unsuitable. Back to your query, an emergency plan to cover buildings etc would not be the same as one to cover authorised trips. So, decide what policies and plans you need. For example, for a fire and emergency plan you need to identify the provisions for emergency services, fire drills, training, evacuation plans to include hazardous and flammable materials, isolation of vital equipment, water hydrants, stop cocks, rendezvous points and so on. Unfortunately it is not a simple task without some form of knowledge and experience. Regards Ray

Posted By Ron Hunter Sian, I understand your dilemma. My own Procedures are bound by copyright so I can't help there. My own approach with issues like this is to draw a process map or flowchart, considering 'who','what 'where' 'when' 'why' and 'how' issues for each step.You will have a few "decision diamonds" for things like RIDDOR criteria, and one of the pitfalls in larger Organisations is a lack of understanding by those tasked with reporting of what constitutes a 'dangerous occurence' or 'major injury' etc. Guidance is required! Map out a draft, and then ask others to try and break it!
