Self-protection plan

The self-protection plan (PAU) is a process for dealing with risk and emergency situations that is regulated by the Basic Self-Protection Regulation, RD 393/2007 or, if it exists, the applicable regional or local regulations. The objective of the Self-Protection Plan is to identify, analyze and evaluate the possible emergency situations that may happen in the center and to carry out the organization of the human and technical means necessary to minimize such situations, defining the sequences of action to be developed in case any of these situations take place.
