Part 1: The Coordinators

The Emergency Action Plan Coordinators are responsible for instituting the procedures needed to take in case of an emergency.  (Note: In an event that a manager is mot present, the coordinator must be responsible in accounting for all employees/visitors in an evacuation.)

The Coordinators of Central Pro Services will provide adequate controls and equipment that, when used properly, will minimize or eliminate risk or injury to employees in the event of an emergency. (Such as a Fire Extinguisher)
Central Pro Services Safety Advisor will review this plan on an annual basis along with its coordinators.

Part 2: Reporting an Emergency Situation


If there is a fire or an emergency were to occur, immediately respond by contacting your first responders:

  • Fire and Police Department: 911 
  • Police Department (Chesterfield)- 609-291-0912
  • EMS/Ambulance: 911

Employees are encouraged to remain patient and use common sense during an emergency.  If it permits, all fires and emergency situations should be reported as soon possible to one of the following managers: 

  1. Director of Operations
  2. Field Operations Manager 
  3. Safety Advisor 

Employees are not authorized to use a portable fire extinguisher to fight a fire in the building.  Under no circumstances shall an employee attempt to fight a fire with a fire extinguisher, nor shall any employee attempt to enter a burning building to conduct a search and rescue. These actions shall be left to emergency service professionals who have necessary training, equipment, and experience.  (Such as the fire department or any medical facility staff member).  Untrained individuals may injure themselves and/or those trying to rescue. 

Part 3: The Evacuation Plan


Emergency exits are clearly marked throughout the building.  In the event that a fire/emergency is sounded or instructions for evacuation have been given by one of the Coordinators, all employees shall immediately exit the building at the nearest marked exit, and shall meet as soon as possible in the safe area of the parking lot/street farthest away from the office building. 


Once an evacuation has occurred, The Director of Operations shall account for each employee/visitor assigned to them in a designated meeting area (most likely a safe area of the parking lot/street.) Each employee is responsible for reporting to their supervisor so an accurate headcount can be made.  All employees shall wait with their departments until further instruction is given.  All employees count shall be then reported to the Emergency Action plan coordinators and managers ASAP. 

Part 4: Advanced Medical Care


Under no circumstances shall an employee provide advanced medical care and treatment.  These situations shall be left to emergency service professionals who have the necessary training, equipment, and experience.  


Central Pro Services main office is located within 5 miles of a hospital. Untrained individuals may endanger themselves and/or those they are trying to assist. 

Part 5: Hostile Intruder/Lockdown


If an employee encounters a hostile intruder, he/she will follow the Department of Homeland Security recommendation of Run, Hide, and/or Fight.
