This study aims to analyze the influence of the Emergency Response Plan (ERP) on fire risk mitigation in the workplace. Although fire emergencies pose significant risks in industrial environments, the implementation of ERP is still often considered as a mere administrative requirement, leaving a gap in understanding its actual effectiveness. The main variables in this study include ERP planning, training, communication, and availability of fire suppression equipment. The research was conducted using a literature review method, drawing from recent Indonesian journal articles published within the last five years. Data were analyzed qualitatively by identifying patterns in ERP implementation and its impact on the reduction of fire incidents and response effectiveness. The study involved 10 primary sources from accredited national journals and institutional reports. The findings show that workplaces that implement a structured and well-communicated ERP experience faster response times and reduced levels of fire damage. Moreover, employee preparedness significantly increased in environments with periodic ERP simulations. These results suggest that ERP plays a critical role in not only preventing fire hazards but also minimizing their impact, confirming the need for standardized and enforced ERP practices in all industrial sectors in Indonesia. The study contributes to risk management literature and provides practical implications for safety officers and policymakers to enhance fire emergency preparedness across various organizational settings
