Before you buy: what’s included, and what your office adds

How it works: self-paced online lessons with short videos and a quiz after each lesson. There is no live class or instructor. Learners can send a question to our trainers from any lesson (we answer within 2 business days) or call (916) 770-4050, Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm Pacific. Each person who passes gets a dated certificate of completion. It is not continuing-education (CE) credit.

The plan itself is specific to your building. Walk each person through your exits, meeting spot, alarm, extinguisher locations and who does what. Our lessons cover the rules and the skills, and remind every learner to ask for these details.

Audience

Who it’s for

  • Everyone who works in the office, from the front desk to the providers.
  • New staff when they are first assigned, and anyone whose emergency role changes.
  • Staff expected to use fire extinguishers, who need extinguisher training when hired and every year after.
The law

What Cal/OSHA and OSHA require, and when

Cal/OSHA 8 CCR §3220 (federal 29 CFR 1910.38) requires an Emergency Action Plan, and §3221 (federal 1910.39) a Fire Prevention Plan. Employees must be told their duties when the plan is created, when their duties change and when the plan changes, and the plan must be reviewed with each employee on initial assignment. Offices with 10 or fewer employees may share the plans orally.

If employees are expected to use fire extinguishers, §6151(g) requires training on extinguisher use when hired and at least once a year. Offices with a written policy of total evacuation when the alarm sounds are exempt from that part.

FAQ

Common questions

Do dental offices need an emergency action plan?
Yes. Cal/OSHA §3220 and OSHA 1910.38 require one when other standards call for it, and in practice almost every office needs one. Offices with 10 or fewer employees may communicate it orally instead of in writing.
Is fire extinguisher training required every year?
Yes, if your employees are expected to use extinguishers. Cal/OSHA §6151(g) requires training when hired and at least annually. If your written policy is that everyone evacuates immediately, that training is not required.
Can it be done online?
Yes for the general content. Your practice should add the building-specific parts: exits, meeting spot, alarm and who does what.
What proof do we get?
A dated certificate with a serial number for each person who passes, verifiable online. It is a certificate of completion, not an OSHA card and not CE credit.
