OSHA requires a written EAP for any job site with 10 or more employees. Most GCs require one from every subcontractor as part of pre-mobilization safety documentation — regardless of employee count.
If your GC asked for “emergency procedures,” “evacuation plan,” or “EAP” in their safety submittal checklist, this is it.
