Need for Planning SIP

Interviews with key contacts in Cuyahoga County repeatedly revealed the need for companies to do more planning for SIP orders. Many companies have no plan in place for sheltering employees and visitors. Shelter-in-place planning need not be complex, and it is similar to basic emergency planning for the home.

EHS facilities are much more likely to evacuate than shelter in place if an incident occurs at the facility itself. However, there may be incidents external to the facility which may require SIP.
