Answer to Question 1

The typical approach to an emergency can be described as follows: control it, take care of the injured, clean up the mess, and get back to work. Often the psychological aspect is ignored. This leaves witnesses and other co-workers to deal on their own with the trauma they've experienced.
It is important to respond to trauma quickly; within 24 hours if possible and within 72 hours in all cases. The purpose of the response is to help employees get themselves back to normal by helping them come to grips with what they have experienced. This is best accomplished by a team of people who have had special training. Such a team is typically called the trauma-response team.

Answer to Question 2

OSHA standards do play a role in emergency prevention and should be considered when developing emergency plans. For example, 29 CFR 1926.35 contains requirements for Employee Emergency Action Plans. Such plans are required to be in writing (except in the case of companies with 10 or fewer employees) and to cover the actions employers and employees must take to ensure employee safety during emergencies. Six elements must be included in the plan at a minimum.
