About this employee emergency contact form
If an employee is taken ill or injured at work, you need to reach someone quickly. An emergency contact form keeps two contacts, their relationship and phone numbers, and any medical information the employee chooses to share, such as allergies or conditions first aiders should know about.
Medical details are optional and should only be seen by people who need them in an emergency. Ask employees to update the form whenever their contacts change.

The template has 5 sections and 19 questions. Every one can be renamed, moved or deleted.
