Emergency Action Plan Requirements in New Mexico

An OSHA-compliant emergency action plan covering evacuation procedures, shelter-in-place protocols, active threat response, medical emergencies, natural disasters, and emergency drill requirements.

Required by OSHA for all employers who require employees to evacuate during emergencies (29 CFR 1910.38). Employers with 10 or fewer employees may communicate the plan orally. Larger employers must have a written plan.

New Mexico operates its own OSHA-approved state plan through NM OSHA (NMSA 50-9). This means New Mexico businesses must meet requirements that can be more stringent than federal OSHA standards.
