Emergency plans

It is a legal requirement that all workplaces have an emergency plan.

No one can predict when an emergency is going to take place. Emergency situations may arise due to a fire, explosion, chemical spill, medical emergency, natural disaster, bomb threat or violence. Your plans will help staff and visitors in any type of emergency.

Having a pre-prepared plan is the best way to respond to an emergency before it happens. Your plans will help workers and visitors in the event of an emergency.

A work-related emergency could be any event that endangers workers, visitors or members of the general public, causes damage or disrupts workplace operations.

An emergency plan is a written set of instructions that outlines what workers and others at the workplace should do in an emergency.

Emergency plans should be easy to understand and tailored to the specific workplace where they apply. In preparing an emergency plan consider:

  • the nature of the work being carried out at the workplace
  • the nature of the hazards at the workplace
  • the size and location of the workplace
  • the number and composition of the workers and other persons at the workplace.

An emergency plan must include:

  • emergency procedures
  • frequent testing of emergency procedures
  • information, training, and instruction to relevant workers to implement the emergency procedures.

Also consider:

  • workers who travel to work, work alone or at remote locations (including procedures for managing off-site emergency situations)
  • workplaces with confined spaces or that use fall arrest systems
  • neighbouring businesses (such as hazardous chemical spills or bushfires)
  • people sleeping on site (such as hotels)
  • large numbers of people at the site at the same time (such as stadiums)
  • high risk chemical processes and major hazard facilities
  • significant cash handling, particularly outside normal business hours
  • completing a SeasonalSAFE Plan to keep your workers comfortable and safe from the effects of the summer environment. This includes extreme weather, sun exposure, bushfire or smoke. A SeasonalSAFE Plan can be an additional resource or incorporated into your existing emergency plan.

The emergency procedures must include:

  • an effective response to an emergency
  • evacuation procedures
  • notifying emergency service organisations at the earliest opportunity,
  • medical treatment and assistance, and
  • effective communication between the person authorised by the business or employer to coordinate the emergency response and all persons at the workplace.

Workers must be adequately trained in emergency procedures. Arrangements for information, training and instruction of workers should be set out in the emergency plan itself.

Training may include:

  • practising evacuations
  • identifying assembly points
  • location of emergency equipment
  • first aid arrangements and
  • how to safely shut down machinery and equipment.

Consider the following when implementing emergency training:

  • emergency procedure training during induction courses for new workers
  • refresher training for existing workers
  • including all workers, including shift-workers, part-time and casual workers
  • including short-term contractors or visitors at the workplace
  • specific training for people who have a formal role in an emergency, such as fire wardens, area wardens or first aiders.

Shared workplaces 

If you share a workplace with other businesses, for example shopping centres, business estates, construction sites or multi-tenanted office buildings, you need to consult with those businesses when preparing your emergency plan.

Consider preparing a master emergency plan for tenants or businesses at these locations for a coordinated response to an emergency situation.

Making plans available 

Emergency plans, or a summary of key elements of the emergency plan should be readily accessible to workers or on display at the workplace.

Make sure workers know where the plans are located and how to implement them.

Use this  medical emergency plan poster to help emergency services access an injured worker quickly and easily.

Reviewing plans

Review and revise your emergency plan regularly to ensure it remains current and effective.

Other circumstances when emergency plans need reviewing and updating may include:

  • changes to the workplace, such as re-location or refurbishments
  • changes to the number and composition of workers, including increased use of temporary contractors
  • where new activities have been introduced to the workplace
  • after the plan has been tested following an actual emergency to identify failings and improvements.

Prepare your emergency plan

Having an Emergency Plan is an important step to prepare for, survive and cope with emergencies.

Know: All householders need to know where your Emergency Plan is kept.

Involve: all householders in your disasters preparations   so all understand risks and appropriate actions required in an emergency.

Practice: your Emergency Plan with all householders every few months to make sure everyone knows what to do if an emergency occurs.

The Emergency Plan is for you to complete for your household.

Here are four simple steps to help you, your family and household.

1. Research hazards and disaster management arrangements in your community.

  • Check with your local library and local council for information and plans.
  • Check with you local council about local warning systems, evacuation process and nominated evacuation routes.
  • Ask about emergency and evacuation plans at your workplace, school, and childcare providers. Check if they need details of your household emergency contacts.
  • Ask for contact details of local support agencies and record these on your Emergency Plan.
  • If your household will need support to evacuate, find out what assistance is available from local council and support agencies.
  • Become familiar with weather warnings issued by the Bureau of Meteorology website and phone services

2. Discuss possible scenarios and responses with your household.

  • Discuss each hazard and potential scenarios.
  • What would you do in the event of each emergency?
  • Where might you be when such an emergency occurs?
  • Depending on the type of emergency, decide how you would keep in touch and where you would meet.
  • Does everyone know the Standard Emergency Warning Signal (SEWS) and what to do when this warning is issued? Learn more about the SEWS
  • You may need to prepare for evacuation. Discuss where to go if you were unable to return home or if you have to leave your home.
  • Nominate two meeting places in case of an emergency, one nearby, another outside your neighbourhood, everyone can easily get to.
  • Nominate two family members or friends who do not live with you (one local, one interstate) to be household emergency contacts in case you and your family become separated. Ensure everyone know how to contact these people.
  • Discuss medical conditions of household members. Include essential medications and dosages in your Emergency Kit. Consider  any special needs, including access to constant power, safe water or oxygen,  and whether these are best met at home or an external location.
  • Discuss what preparations are needed for your pets .

3. Record important details on your Emergency Plan, such as:

  • emergency and related phone numbers
  • Triple Zero (000),
  • 132 500 (SES)
  • medical services
  • local council
  • electricity and other service providers
  • insurance providers
  • relatives and friends
  • All householder mobile phones, other numbers such as work, school, childcare providers, friends, neighbours and your household emergency contacts.
  • Details of the two meeting places you have nominated.
  • Any specific medical conditions, essential medications and dosage.
  • Details for your pets—descriptions, photo, veterinarian contact details, medication.
  • Radio frequency of your local ABC radio station , Bureau of Meteorology website and telephone weather services for local warnings.

4. Ensure everyone in your household is prepared

  • Prepare an Emergency Kit and store in a safe, accessible place.
  • Review and practise your Emergency Plan regularly (three times per year).
  • Teach children how and when to call Triple Zero (000) in an emergency (use 112 from mobile phones). Only call Triple Zero (000) if you believe the emergency is life threatening, critical or serious.
  • Ensure householders have current First Aid certification. Include a fully stocked First Aid Kit in your Emergency Kit. First aid training and equipment is provided by the Queensland Ambulance Service
  • Tune into warnings .
  • Create wallet emergency cards for all household members to refer to when activating your Emergency Plan.
  • Ensure everyone know where and when to turn off the main power, water and gas supply in case of evacuation.
  • Display your Emergency Plan on the fridge or household notice board, provide copies to household members, relevant friends, family and neighbours and keep a copy in your Emergency Kit.
  • Consider joining a community emergency services organisation such as the State Emergency Service (SES) to learn more and help your community prepare for and respond to natural disasters.

First aid and emergency plans

As an employer, you must have first aid arrangements and plans in place to deal with emergencies in your place of work.

You must make sure that:

  • first aid equipment and facilities are provided and accessible
  • an adequate number of workers, or other persons, have been trained to administer first aid.

First aid requirements may vary between places of work depending on:

  • the nature of the work
  • the types of hazards present
  • the size, location, number and composition of people at the place of work.

When deciding what first aid arrangements need to be provided at your place of work, you should consider all of these factors. You should also consider the number of trained first aiders who should be available to administer first aid.

Keep emergency phone numbers handy for the following services:

  • fire service
  • doctor and ambulance
  • Poisons Information Centre (13 11 26).

You can find further advice in the  First aid in the workplace code of practice 2021 (PDF, 0.48 MB) .

Emergency plans

You must also have plans in place to deal with emergencies in your place of work.

Your emergency plan must provide:

  • an effective response to an emergency
  • evacuation procedures
  • notifying emergency service organisations at the earliest opportunity
  • medical treatment and assistance
  • effective communication between the authorised person coordinating the emergency response and all persons at your place of work
  • testing of the emergency procedures, including the frequency of testing
  • information, training and instruction to relevant workers in relation to implementing the emergency procedures.

All of your workers should be familiar with the emergency procedures for your place of work, such as:

  • who to report to in an emergency
  • emergency telephone numbers
  • evacuation procedures and the designated meeting place
  • the type of fire extinguisher to use for different fires.

It's important to note that your emergency plan is in addition to the requirement for a fire and evacuation plan under the Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008 . Both of these plans can be combined into one plan for your place of work.

Emergency Response Plans

Find disaster recovery services and support.

Expand list

In Australia, state and territory governments have primary responsibility for protecting life, property and environment within their borders. They have established plans in place to respond to, and recover from, natural and human-caused emergencies.

The Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet is responsible for maintaining and updating the Australian Government Crisis Management Framework (AGCMF). The AGCMF underpins the other crisis plans (below) which are maintained by the National Emergency Management Agency.

Version 3.1 of the AGCMF was released on Friday 17 December 2021, to ensure that arrangements which set out the Australian Government’s response to emergencies and natural disasters are up to date in preparation for the 2022-2023 high-risk weather season.

A full copy is available from the  Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet website .

To complement the efforts of state, territory and international governments responding to a disaster or emergency, the Australian Government can also provide physical assistance.

The National Emergency Management Agency coordinates:

  • Australian Government disaster assistance to states and territories
  • state and territory emergency response capabilities to disasters overseas (if requested by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade).

We maintain a range of response plans that we can give to state and territory governments and international partners responding to an emergency.

Extreme weather can happen very fast.

Having a plan means everyone in your household knows what to do if the weather turns bad. When you are making a plan, you might want to include your neighbours or friends. People you know who are elderly or have special needs may need your help. 

If you need help making an emergency plan, ask a friend or neighbour to help.

Household Severe Weather Emergency Plan  

Download and print the Household Severe Weather Emergency Plan (PDF, 2.07MB) which is best filled in with pen on paper. This is a good opportunity to have a chat with your household and fill it in together.

Alternatively, you can fill out our online version below. Download, save, and print the form once you've completed it. 

Remember, we don't store your data, so an unfinished form won't be saved if you close this window. 

Reviewing Your Emergency Plan

At least once a year you should review your emergency plan. It is important to keep information up to date. If the details of your plan are not updated you may have incorrect information. This can be very unhelpful when trying to act fast. 

It is also important to update your plan if you move houses.

  • Preparing your emergency plan
  • Resource Centre
  • Tools and downloads

Your business is critical to your financial wellbeing, so you’ll want to take steps to protect it as much as you can against emergencies and disasters.

Emergency management planning will help you identify risks to your business, the critical areas of your business and how to best protect them. It also covers continuity and recovery planning to help your business prepare for and survive any emergency.

You should regularly review your emergency management and recovery plan to ensure it’s up to date, reflects your current business conditions and gives you the best foundation for action in the event of an emergency.

Start by downloading the free template which will guide you through the process.

  • Use the template as a guide. Don’t attempt to complete the plan straight away. First, decide which sections are relevant for your business. Feel free to add or remove sections if you need to. Then work your way through the plan by filling in the empty boxes section by section.
  • Use the [italicised text]. The italicised text in the template is there to help guide you by providing more questions you may like to answer when preparing your response. If a question doesn’t apply to your circumstances it can be ignored.
  • Seek help . If you aren’t confident in completing the plan yourself, you can enlist the help of a professional (i.e. Business Enterprise Centre, business adviser or accountant) to look through your plan and provide you with advice.
  • Review. Review. Review. Ask several impartial people to proofread your final plan.

An emergency and recovery plan can consist of these elements:

  • Risk Management. List the potential risks to your business (in order of likelihood) and any mitigation/contingency strategies. What can you do to reduce the impact of, or eliminate, these risks?
  • Critical business area analysis. Identify all the critical areas of your business (e.g., product refrigeration process, seasonal demand, computer access and connections, knowledgeable staff) and any protection strategies that can reduce or remove negative impacts of their loss.
  • Scenario planning. When you have completed your critical business areas and ranked them, complete a more detailed scenario based on each of your top three critical business areas.
  • Insurance. List the insurance policies you currently hold to cover your business risks and consider other insurances.
  • Property and infrastructure. List what you have done, or need to do, to make your property and infrastructure less vulnerable to damage. Is your property secured with alarms, security personnel or video surveillance from unlawful entry? Do you have fire retardant or flood resistant building materials? Do you have your gutters checked regularly to minimise fire risk?
  • Temporary office accommodation. Identify temporary office accommodation you can quickly access in an emergency. Consider attaching a map of your accommodation to the back of your plan.
  • Business continuity strategies. Consider other strategies to help you maintain ‘business as usual’ practices. Have you considered a virtual office service, e-commerce website or online auction or e-marketplace shopfront?
  • Key personnel training. List your current staff and any training they may need.
  • Skill retention strategies. How can you ensure the skills of staff are maintained and updated? Do you have an appropriate allocation of responsibilities? How are responsibilities documented and communicated to staff? What internal processes will you implement to regularly check that skills are appropriate and maintained? Do you offer professional development opportunities?
  • Data security and backup strategy. Detail your protection and backup procedures. How have you protected your network and your critical data (e.g., virus protection, secure networks and firewalls, secure passwords and data backup procedures)?
  • Environmental resilience. Have you considered how your business might be impacted by changes to environmental conditions? Environmental factors include weather, climate, and climate change, which all may affect how companies operate and the products they offer.
  • Emergency contacts. List your local emergency services numbers and any additional contacts you will need to phone in an emergency (e.g. employees’ next of kin).
  • Emergency procedures. List your emergency/evacuation procedures. It may be useful to attach a copy of your detailed emergency procedures and floor plan with the location of emergency exits, emergency kit and safety equipment clearly marked. Your emergency procedures should include a map of evacuation locations for all emergencies.
  • Evacuation drill schedule. Prepare a schedule for emergency evacuation drills and ensure you run them. Include staff in discussions about how to improve your evacuation procedure.
  • Emergency kit. Decide and clearly identify where your emergency kit is located. List the contents and when each item was last checked.
  • Emergency team. Choose your emergency team and ensure its members understand their roles and responsibilities.
  • Business impact assessment . After an event, be ready to itemise all damages to your business per severity and the action needed to recover. Attach your impact assessment to your emergency plan.
  • Recovery contacts . Include all the organisations or people needed to help your business recover. See also Emergency contacts above.
  • Insurance claims . What insurance policies have you claimed? After an event, record and keep on file any discussions you’ve had with an insurer about your claim.
  • Market assessment . After an event, and based on your assessment of the damage to your business and/or surrounding area, list any areas of your market that have changed. Alternatively, attach a complete market assessment to the back of your plan.
  • Marketing strategy . Update your marketing strategy after an emergency. If your business will reopen after event, how will you communicate the message? What channels will you use to target customers? How will this strategy depend on changes in the market? You may consider a targeted marketing effort (such as a social media campaign) to communicate changes to your operations when the event occurs and when you reopen.
  • Current creditors . List all current creditors and any arrangements you have made during the recovery period.
  • Current debtors . List all current debtors you have contacted and their agreed payment amount and date.
  • Government funding . After a severe emergency event, there may be government support offered to affected businesses. This support varies depending on your location, business type, industry, and the severity and type of event. If support is available, list all government funding you have applied for, including the program name (e.g. flood relief package), contact details, application dates and amounts.
  • Expected cash flow . Consider your expected cash flow during and after an event.
  • Supporting documentation . Attach any supporting documentation you may need to your emergency management and recovery plan. This may include copies of your floor plan, detailed emergency procedures, employee names and contact details, impact and market assessments, and financial documents.

It’s important to seek help early from the range of advice and support services available to you.

  • Contact the Office of the Small Business Commissioner to discuss any issues relating to contracts, especially before you sign a commercial contract
  • Contact the Office of the Industry Advocate to discuss major government projects and tenders
  • Find your nearest small business advisor in business advice services .

As outlined in the State Emergency Management Plan, Emergency Management Australia is responsible for managing a number of Australian Government emergency management plans. These plans provide an overview of how national, state, territory and local governments collectively approach the management of emergencies, including catastrophic emergencies. At the state level, WA’s State Emergency Coordinator is responsible for liaising with Emergency Management Australia during an emergency.

The Australian Government EM plans outline the principles, structures and procedures that support the coordination of EM in Australia and its offshore territories and the collaboration necessary to match the response and assistance required to the nature of the event. A number of different agencies are responsible for the national plans, including:

  • Emergency Management Australia
  • Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry
  • Department of Health and Aged Care
  • Australian Maritime Safety Authority
  • WA Risk Register Tool
  • 2019 Emergency Preparedness Report
  • State Emergency Management Document Amendments September 2020

Under the model WHS laws, all workplaces must have an emergency plan in place. This includes workplaces where construction work is being undertaken. The plan must let workers and visitors know what to do in an emergency. The emergency plan should be easy to access and reviewed and updated regularly.

Under the model WHS laws, all workplaces must have an emergency plan in place. This includes workplaces where construction work is being undertaken. The plan must let workers and visitors know what to do in an emergency. The emergency plan should also be easy to access and reviewed and updated regularly. 

Preparing emergency plans

The emergency plan for your workplace may include:

  • Contact details for key people – like fire wardens and first aid officers.  
  • Contact details for local emergency services.  
  • How to alert people at the workplace to an emergency or potential emergency – for example, using a siren or bell alarm.  
  • Help for hearing-, vision- or mobility-impaired people. 
  • A map of the workplace showing where to find fire protection equipment, emergency exits and assembly points.
  • The post-incident follow-up process – for example, notifying the regulator, organising trauma counselling or medical treatment.  

For more information on emergency plans, please view Safe Work Australia’s Emergency plans fact sheet . Your PCBU can also use this emergency plan template to help prepare an emergency plan.

Examples of things that might be included in an emergency plan include: 

  • Medical emergencies
  • Incidents with hazardous chemicals

As a worker, your PCBU must consult with you on WHS risks in the workplace. This includes emergency planning.

Reviewing emergency plans

Your PCBU must maintain the emergency plan for it to remain effective. Reviewing an emergency plan will help it stay current. The plan should be reviewed when:   

  • There are changes to your workplace, like re-location or refurbishments.  
  • The number or arrangement of your workforce changes, including if there are more temporary contractors.  
  • Your work activities increase or change. 
  • After testing the plan.

Emergency procedure training

Your PCBU must provide you with training on emergency procedures, including on :

  • Evacuations and assembly points
  • Safely shutting down machinery

For more information on duties on emergency plans and procedures, please refer to Regulation 43 of the model WHS Regulations.
