Abstract

The work environment, especially in industrial sectors, large office spaces, and other public facilities, is an area that has the potential risk of emergencies such as fires, earthquakes, chemical leaks, or other incidents. Employee preparedness in facing emergency situations in the workplace is a crucial aspect of occupational safety management. This study aims to analyze the impact of emergency response training on employee preparedness using library research methods through a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were obtained from eleven scientific articles published between 2020 and 2024, sourced from various databases such as Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and ResearchGate. The results of the study indicate that emergency response training plays a significant role in enhancing employee preparedness, both in terms of knowledge, technical skills, and a responsive attitude towards emergency conditions. The effectiveness of the training is influenced by the frequency of training, the methods used, the relevance of the material to potential risks, and support from management. Realistic simulations and regular evaluations have also been proven to strengthen emergency response skills practically. Therefore, planned and continuous emergency response training is an important investment in building a strong and adaptive safety culture within the organization
