On discovering a fire, you should operate the nearest alarm, evacuate the building as described below and report the nature and location of the fire to the company’s fire warden. On hearing the fire alarm, you should: Quickly and calmly evacuate to the nearest assembly area. Where there is anyone with mobility impairments, utilise the evacuation chair (if trained in its use) or escort them to a “temporary refuge point” i. e. stairwell or corridors protected by 30 minute fire doors and remain with them if appropriate. Members of staff: If you are near the tally board AND the visitor sign-in sheet, you must pick up both, check the rooms shown on the tally board as you exit and close all doors behind you. Note the location of anyone with mobility impairment who has been escorted to a “temporary refuge point”. If the tally board/visitor sign-in sheet has already been collected, go straight to the assembly area. If you have collected the tally board and visitor sign-in sheet and checked the rooms as you left the building, you must report with the tally board and visitor sign-in sheet to the company’s Fire Warden without delay, informing him/her of the location of any one with mobility impairments waiting in a “safe area”. If you have looked for a tally board that you know is missing from its usual location, then report this to the company’s Fire Warden. Fire wardens should assume their designated duties. Ensure all staff members and visitors/contractors are accounted for. DO NOT attempt to fight a fire unless you have been trained to and it is safe to do so. DO NOT leave the site unless instructed to do so.
