Question 4

How does the E-Info SaaS and App work?

Accepted Answer

Our Software as a Service combined with our Mobile Application allows private and public businesses, schools, and churches to disseminate and communicate On-Demand Emergency Action Plans, Fire Prevention Plans, and other Business/Human Resources Documents to users (employees, customers, faculty, students, congregants, and guests). These crucial plans and documents are placed virtually, by location, using our “patent pending” technology. Once users enter the subscribed location(s), they will automatically have the plans and documents on the E-Info mobile application.
 
This technology eliminates the need to use communication formats of yesterday to provide life-saving information to people who need it, when they need it.
 
Plans and Protocols can be updated when needed and published virtually by location. This ensures all people have the most up-to-date information designed for that location via the E-Info mobile application.

Question 5

What is an EAP or an FPP?

Accepted Answer

We will answer these questions with quotes directly from OSHA. 
​
Emergency Action Plan
​
"An emergency action plan (EAP) is a written document required by particular OSHA standards. [29 CFR 1910.38(a)] The purpose of an EAP is to facilitate and organize employer and employee actions during workplace emergencies. Well-developed emergency plans and proper employee training (such that employees understand their roles and responsibilities within the plan) will result in fewer and less severe employee injuries and less structural damage to the facility during emergencies. A poorly prepared plan likely will lead to a disorganized evacuation or emergency response, resulting in confusion, injury, and property damage."
​
Fire Prevention Plan
​
"The purpose of the fire prevention plan is to prevent a fire from occurring in a workplace. It describes the fuel sources (hazardous or other materials) on-site that could initiate or contribute both to the spread of a fire, as well as the building systems, such as fixed fire extinguishing systems and alarm systems, in place to control the ignition or spread of a fire."
​
What are OSHA EAP minimum requirements?
​
At a minimum, the plan must include but is not limited to the following elements [29 CFR 1910.38(c)]:
Means of reporting fires and other emergencies
Evacuation procedures and emergency escape route assignments
Procedures for employees who remain to operate critical plant operations before they evacuate
Accounting for all employees after an emergency evacuation has been completed
Rescue and Medical Duties for Employees Performing them
Names or job titles of persons who can be contacted
