Building Evacuation Protocol
|
Continuous sounding of the fire alarm speakers and the flashing
of the fire alarm strobe lights located on your floor
shall be the signal for immediate evacuation from the building.
- Evacuate the building immediately according to your evacuation
route.
- Stop what you are doing and walk, do not run, to the
primary or alternate stairwell. Close all doors behind you.
- Use the stairs. Do not use the elevators. If the power
fails, you may become trapped in the elevator. During fire alarms,
elevators are taken out of service and returned to the ground
floor.
- Once evacuated, proceed to your designated gathering area.
- Report to your supervisor for a headcount. Visitors
must report to the receptionist for headcount.
- Do not re-enter the building until the all clear announcement
is given by the emergency coordinator.
- Fire wardens will assist in the evacuation process, and:
- Ensure work areas are evacuated and doors are closed, not
locked.
- Ensure rest rooms are evacuated.
- Coordinate assistance for injured or incapacitated personnel.
- Report to the emergency coordinator on evacuation status*
and employees requiring assistance.
* Fire wardens will confirm evacuation status with supervisors
or section managers.
