My main concern with OSHA is when government red tape holds up new safety solutions and technology due to the fact that it would take an act of Congress to change regulations within the organization.

Everyone has looked to Security solutions to prevent terrorism but no one looks at the second part of the equation which is SAFETY. What safety procedures are in place to save lives and reduce property losses when these Security solutions fail.

A huge concern that I have is todate’s evacuation policies actually produce more frustration and confusion among the building occupants during an evacuation. Just because you have an Emergency Action Plan in place, are those procedures accurate and comprehensive enough to ensure that all occupants have been accounted for during the event.

Today’s procedures not only produce confusion for the occupants but also for the first responders arriving on the scene. The first thing, on both the facility and first responders objective list, is to ensure that all have been evacuated and are located in safe areas. There is no facility that is required to have an EAP (due to facility population)that can truthfully say that they can account for all occupants efficiently and accurately during the emergency event. Even during drills, the main problem is still accounting for all during the test.

After all, we evacuate a facility due to the possibility of loss of life….shouldn’t we have a system in place that can ensure that this main objective is obtained?

OSHA even agrees that evacuation procedures are less than acceptable. They should be striving to ensure that facility owners have a system in place to ensure the best possible scenario that will save lives and reduce property losses.

How much red tape do we have to unwind before more lives are lost with safety procedures that don’t work!
