Fire drill procedures

What to do in the event of a fire

We have temporary alarms placed  in the warehouse. In the event that you discover a fire and the alarm has not already sounded, raise the alarm by pressing the switch at the nearest Fire Alarm Operating Point.

 

On hearing the fire alarm, please proceed as follows:

1.      Leave the building at once quickly and calmly by the nearest available route Note: Escape routes are indicated by Green signs

 

DO NOT STOP TO COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL BELONGINGS

 

2.      When clear of the building, proceed to the assembly point In the Car Park at  the front of the building.

Note: Do not stand in front of the main gate.

3.      When all staff are assembled, the fire register will be taken. It is important that you listen carefully for your name and indicate your presence when called.

4.      DO NOT re-enter the building until told to do so by the nominated Fire Officer.

 

Fire drills are important and need to be taken seriously. The person taking the fire register needs your undivided attention.
