It may include emergency services, the nearest medical facility, project management, safety contacts, utility providers, building security, property management, environmental response vendors, equipment support, and designated company contacts.

An electrical subcontractor working on a multi-building hospital campus records the project gate, security desk, emergency department entrance, facility electrical supervisor, general contractor superintendent, company safety manager, utility provider, elevator service contact, nearest AED, muster point, and after-hours project manager. The sheet is posted in the job trailer, gang box, and service vehicle, with a revision date printed on each copy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What emergency contacts should be listed?
Include public emergency services, the nearest medical facility, project leadership, safety personnel, company emergency contacts, utilities, property or facility management, security, and specialized response providers relevant to the project.
Where should the contact sheet be posted?
Post it at locations where crews can access it quickly, such as the project trailer, gang box, field office, shop, service vehicle, break area, or designated emergency-information board.
How often should the sheet be updated?
Review it at project startup and whenever personnel, phone numbers, access routes, medical facilities, utility contacts, or emergency arrangements change. Periodic verification is also useful on long-duration projects.
Should personal mobile numbers be included?
Include only contact information necessary for the project and distribute it according to company privacy procedures. A restricted internal version may contain information that should not appear on publicly posted copies.
Should the nearest hospital always be listed?
List the medical facility or facilities selected through the project’s emergency-planning process. The closest facility may not always be the appropriate destination for every type of care.
What project location details are most useful?
Include the full address, building, floor or work area, gate number, access route, security or check-in requirements, and a clear meeting point for responders.
Should backup contacts be listed?
Yes. Backup contacts are especially useful for supervisors, safety personnel, property representatives, utility coordinators, and after-hours project management.
Does the sheet replace an emergency action plan?
No. The sheet is a quick-reference contact directory. Emergency procedures, roles, evacuation routes, rescue requirements, communication methods, and training should be addressed through the applicable project and company plans.
