Who This Is For

GCs and trade subs with employees on active construction sites. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.38 requires a written Emergency Action Plan for employers with 10+ employees, and 29 CFR 1926.35 extends this to construction. For smaller employers, a written EAP is strongly recommended — when an incident occurs, an undocumented response turns a bad day into a catastrophic one.

What Professionals Say

★★★★★

Every superintendent should have this in the trailer. In an emergency, nobody wants to guess the plan.

— GC superintendent
★★★★★

We needed a written response plan that crews would actually understand on site. This gave us that.

— Safety officer
★★★★★

Good, practical template for small crews and large sites alike. The hospital, assembly, and chain-of-command sections are especially useful.

— Trade contractor

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an Emergency Action Plan required by OSHA for construction?
For employers with more than 10 employees, OSHA requires a written Emergency Action Plan. Smaller employers may communicate the plan orally, but a written EAP is still the best practice on construction sites where crews, layouts, and risks change constantly.
What must be included in a construction EAP?
At a minimum, include site location information, evacuation and assembly procedures, emergency contacts, who does what during an emergency, hospital information, and clear response steps for the hazards your site may actually face.
How often should the EAP be reviewed?
Review it at least annually and anytime the site layout, crew, emergency contacts, or hazard profile changes. It should also be part of onboarding and periodic toolbox talk refreshers.
