What is an Emergency Plans Box?

Having an Emergency Plan Box in a clear location is essential for large buildings or sites in the event of an emergency. They are used to securely store information about the property, such as site layouts and more essential information that emergency services workers need to know. This information can then be used to aid in evacuation and more in the midst of panic and urgency. Emergency Plan Boxes are designed in a recognised format clearly visible for emergency services and others in the event of an emergency and arrive with a comprehensive Emergency Response Pack guidance manual as standard.

Why You Need an Emergency Plans Box: Rules and Regulations 

Although there are no clear regulations for emergency plans boxes on your property, you must comply with legislation such as the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, that require employers to have an appropriate procedure for emergency situations. With a Gerda Emergency Plans Box, you can not only share your emergency procedures with your staff and visitors but the emergency services will also have access to these plans, contributing to a quick and efficient response. 

Benefits of Emergency Plans Boxes

Emergency Plans Boxes FAQs

What is the difference between an Emergency Plans Box and a Premises Information Box?

An Emergency Plans Box is designed for use in internal locations, comes in a key or keypad format and only contains emergency information. A Premises Information Box, on the other hand, is a heavier container that can be used outdoors but only comes in a key format. 

Where do I put an Emergency Plans Box?

An Emergency Plans Box is designed to be installed within a property where security is not vital but also in a place that is not necessarily open to the public. For example, the entrances and exits of a building may be a good place to install your emergency box as it can be easily spotted and accessed by emergency services in the event of an emergency. It should not be installed outside.
