APA’S RULES AND GUIDELINES
(AS ADAPTED FOR WEBSTER UNIVERSITY’S SECR COURSES)
1. LABELING YOUR WORK: Please be sure to put your name on the first
page of every assignment. You don’t need a cover sheet except for the term
paper and the exams, but I do need your name. Points will be deducted for not
putting your name on your assignment work.
2. MARGINS
1 inch on all sides. The page numbers and headers will violate the top margin (do not
use the page number as the 1-inch guide).
3. JUSTIFICATIONS
Justify the LEFT margin but have RAGGED RIGHTS.
4. SPACING
Double space everything. Use two spaces after a period. Use Times New
Roman, 12-point font.
5. PARAGRAPHS
New paragraphs should be indented 5 spaces. Do not use a “double
double-space” between paragraphs
6. PAGE NUMBER
Upper RIGHT CORNER, Arabic numbers and begins 1 on title page (DO NOT
SHOW) and number consecutively.
7. TITLE PAGE
Term papers will require a title page. The title should summarize the main idea of the
paper. The title of the paper may contain up to twenty words. If a number is part of
the title, it should be spelled out. The author’s name and institution along with the
course title, instructor, and date the paper is due should be included in the title page.
Your cover sheets for the term paper and the examination require a Certificate of
Authorship. Sample title pages follows at the end of the format guide.
8. ABSTRACT
You must provide an Abstract for your Term Paper. This is a summary of the paper,
not to exceed one-page. It is placed immediately following the Title Page and before
the Table of Contents.
9. TABLE OF CONTENTS
Term papers require a TABLE OF CONTENTS. All level one and two headings
should be included. If other levels are used, include them. Sections that appear prior
to the TABLE OF CONTENTS (Title Page and Abstracts) should not be included.
Page numbers should be indicated. A sample Table of Contents is also included with
this guide.
10. HEADINGS
Headings indicate the organization of a paper, report or manuscript and establish the
importance of each topic. Not every paper or report requires all levels of headings.
Note: each subheading must have at least one counterpart at the same level within a
section.
Level 1 ALL CAPITALS, BOLD TEXT and centered
Level 2 Mixed case and centered
Level 3 Mixed case, underline, and centered
Level 4 Mixed case, underline, and flush left
11. ORPHANS & WIDOW LINES
When the first line of a paragraph appears as the last line on a page, it is referred to as
an “orphan.” To avoid this, move the line into the next page creating a wider bottom
margin. When the last line of a paragraph appears as the first line on a page, it is
referred to as a “widow.” To avoid this, move at least one line of text from the
previous page.
12. CITATIONS IN THE TEXT
The APA format does not use footnotes at the bottom of the page, but it used citation
within the text instead.
When you use the author’s name in the text, do not repeat it in the reference. Position
the reference next to the author’s name. Example: Brookfield (1986) identified
several conditions that enhance the ability of adults to learn.
When you are not using the author’s name in the text, supply it in the reference.
Example: In a recent study of reaction times (Walker, 2000) or “The placebo effect
has been verified in previous studies” (Miele, 1993, p.276).
When a work has two authors always cite both names every time the reference
occurs. Example: as Nightlinger and Littlewood (1993) demonstrated
When a work has three, four, or five authors, cite all authors the first time the
reference occurs, in subsequent citations; include only the surname of the first author
followed by et al.
Example: Wasserstein, Zappulla, Rosen, Gerstanam, and Rock (1994) found
Example: Wasserstein et al. (1994) found
Works with no author or with an anonymous author, cite in text the first few words of the
reference list entry (usually the title) and the year. Use double quotations marks around
the title of an article or chapter. Example: on free care (“Study Finds”, 1982)
Italicize the title of the periodical, book, brochure, or report
Example: the book College Bound Seniors (1979)
13.
REFERENCES
The Reference List at the end of the document provides the necessary information to
identify and retrieve each source. This page should be labeled as the “Reference List”,
not as a “Bibliography”. References cited in text must also appear in the Reference List;
conversely, each entry in the Reference List must be cited in the text. Only sources cited
within the text should be included in the Reference List. Arrange entries in alphabetical
order by the surname of the first author. Flush first line and indent the remaining lines.

DEVELOPING A PLAN FOR EMERGENCY EVACUATION

ABSTRACT
Security is an essential aspect of any workplace or social places. For that reason,
emergency evacuations in the workplace or social place buildings is an equally important
consideration that management should take into account. It is against anyone’s expectations that
an emergency or a disaster that could affect their staff members and businesses. However, it is a
fact that emergencies do strike anytime and therefore organizations may need to evacuate the
organizational premises when no one least expects it. Many types of emergencies can hit an
organization at any time. These emergencies may come in the form of fire, toxic gas releases,
explosions, civil disturbances, floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes among others (Occupational
Safety and Health Administration, 2001). Therefore, it is crucial for management to develop
clear evacuation plans to improve the safety of employees in case an emergency or disaster
strikes. Many things are critical for consideration when designing an evacuation plan which
includes;
THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN DEVELOPING AN EVACUATION PLAN
Emergency Conditions Requiring an Evacuation
Identifying the types of emergencies that may require emergency evacuations is the first
step that management need to consider when developing an emergency evacuation plan. As
listed above, many situations may need emergency evacuations such as fire, toxic material
release, terrorism, workplace violence, and these emergencies may require different types of
reactions and evacuation plans. For instance, in case of fire breakout or toxic material release, the
best plan of action is to get out of the premises, but in case of civil disturbance, the best
evacuation plan is to get everyone remain indoors (Occupational Safety and Health
DEVELOPING A PLAN FOR EMERGENCY EVACUATION
4
Administration, 2001). It is also essential to brainstorm the worst-case scenarios that could
happen in case these emergencies strike to find out what to do if the worst happens.
Brainstorming helps in understanding the best reaction to an emergency.
Create A Clear Chain of Command
Whenever an emergency occurs in an organization, there is a likelihood that chaos may
erupt (Perry & Lindell, 2003). Chaos will get even worse if many people handle the evacuations.
Therefore, there is a need to ensure that there is a clear chain command and it deals explicitly
with selecting the people who are responsible for assessing and deciding whether or not an
evacuation is necessary. Also, these people will be responsible for managing the evacuation
processes.
Specific Evacuation Procedures
Specific evacuation procedures are another vital aspect that management needs to
consider when developing evacuation plans. Management should ensure that all employees are
aware of the evacuation procedures that are in place regardless of the area they are in the
building. Management needs to design a floor diagram map that will mark all the exit routes and
equipment locations that will allow employees to act accordingly depending on the emergency
(Occupational Safety and Health Administration, 2001).
Plan for Visitors
Every organization from time to time have visitors. These visitors may not know the
building’s plan and escape procedures. Therefore, management needs to consider how to
evacuate visitors in case of an emergency.
DEVELOPING A PLAN FOR EMERGENCY EVACUATION
Designate The Last Employees Out
The last people to get out of the buildings are necessary to shut down critical operations.
These people are also responsible for ensuring that no one remains behind after evacuations
(Perry & Lindell, 2003). Therefore, management needs to ensure that they designate the last
employees to get out.
Account for Employees and Visitors
After completing the evacuation process, it is essential to ensure that all employees and
visitors managed to get out of the building. To account for employees and visitors, management
should include mechanisms for accounting for all employees and visitors.
CONCLUSION
It is clear that security is a primary consideration for all organizational management.
Therefore, it is crucial for management to consider several things as explained above. That way,
developing evacuation plans becomes easy and effective.
