Metrics are used measure success and drive improvements in the EAP. Evaluating the metrics after an evacuation or drill will lead to faster reaction times and an EAP that is more reliable and trusted by stakeholders. The following list is a list of important metrics to collect:
- What was the total number of employees and visitors that were onsite before the emergency?
- How long did it take to detect the emergency and sound the alarm?
- How long did it take to call 9-1-1?
- How many employees and visitors were accounted for at the assembly areas / mustering points?
- How many employees and visitors were not accounted for that were onsite earlier in the day?
- How long did it take to get a full headcount?
- How long did it take first responders to arrive?
- How long did the evacuation take?
- How many injuries were reported?
- How many safety professionals / employees were helping to manage the emergency evacuation?
- What mistakes did the safety professionals report that could be corrected?
