Fast and effective evacuation procedures

Drills help you identify evacuation procedures for physically disabled users of your premises

The complete Fire Evacuation package is designed to test staff procedures in an emergency. The program satisfies the statutory requirements incumbent on building owners

Chubb Fire will organise and invigilate Fire Evacuations with the aim of enhancing staff awareness. Our experts will identify and rectify problem areas, with the end result being a fast and effective evacuation procedure.

The “total” package consists of:

a) Liaising with an appropriate person to arrange a mutually convenient date and time on which to hold the drill.

b) Ensuring that the local Fire Brigade are aware and briefed.

c) Initiating the alarm system.

d) Observing personnel’s reaction to the alarm whilst time keeping.

e) With the exception of key staff, ensure all remaining personnel return to the building as soon as the drill is over to resume normal working activities.

f) A post–drill meeting is held with key personnel to discuss how to improve in the future.

g) A full report of the drill will be sent to the appropriate person. The report will include a break down of events, danger areas, strong points, recommendations for improvement and the way forward.

Evacuation for the Disabled

Management procedures for the evacuation of disabled people from a building should be clear and contained in staff guidelines.  They should be regularly rehearsed as a part of every evacuation or fire drill.
