ͻ Fire Resistant Doors

ʹ All Fire exit doors are fire resistant and capable to keep off
fire and smoke for about 30 mins. These doors should closed
after evacuation, to prevent fire and smoke from spreading
into the staircase
ͻ Fire Exit Sign and Emergency Lights
ʹ These work even if there is a power failure thus assisting in
evacuation
ͻ Staircases

ͻ The human interface with the fire protection is a

critical factor in the provision of an acceptable
level of life safety in the event of a fire.
ͻ Building occupants must know what the
evacuation alarm sounds like, where the exits are,
and the proper response during an emergency.
ͻ Emergency plans and workplace fire drills address
the human element in the protection of lives in
the event of fire.

ͻ To educate building occupants about the procedures to

follow in the event of an emergency that requires
evacuation.
ͻ To provide an opportunity for occupants to locate and
use alternative routes under nonthreatening conditions.

entrance and exit.

ͻ The goal of workplace fire drills is to familiarize

employees with emergency procedures and the
location of means of egress components provided
within the facility.

ͻ The fire drill is a tool that is used to ensure that

occupants react properly in the event of an actual
emergency within a facility.

§
 






 Π


ͻ Before conducting an evacuation drill in the workplace,
the drill coordinator should conduct a pre-drill assessment
of the evacuation routes and assembly points.
ͻ The pre-drill assessment is intended to verify that all exit
components (stairs, doors, etc.) are in proper order and
that occupants can use them safely.
ͻ For example, the assessment might confirm that exits are
clearly marked and that corridors are free of obstructions.

ͻ The occupant will recognize the evacuation alarm.
ͻ On receiving the evacuation signal, the occupant will take
appropriate actions, including the shutdown of machinery or
processes.
ͻ The occupant will immediately begin the evacuation process using
routes prescribed by the facility emergency plan.
ͻ The occupant will provide assistance to visitors or individuals who
are experiencing difficulty.
ͻ The occupant will take evasive action if the means of exit that is
selected is determined to be unsafe.
ͻ The occupant will report to the assembly area monitor at the
assigned assembly point.

Drills shall be held at expected and unexpected times and
under varying conditions to simulate the unusual
conditions that can occur in an actual emergency

Drills should be carefully planned to simulate actual fire

conditions. Not only should drills be held at varying
times, but different means of exit or relocation areas
should be used, based on an assumption that fire or
smoke might prevent the use of normal egress and
relocation avenues.

ͻ An announced drill allows occupants to prepare before the
evacuation.
ͻ Announced drills should be structured learning exercises in which
the occupants walk through the actions they are to take when the
evacuation alarm sounds.
ͻ An announced drill allows businesses to prepare for the downtime
that will occur while employees leave the building.
ͻ The announced drill is the least threatening type of exercise and
can be used to introduce occupants to a new emergency plan or
revised evacuation routes.
ͻ During announced drills, assigned staff members can direct
occupants to alternate egress routes.

ͻ Surprise drill might be considered to be disruptive, it is the best
indication of what will occur under actual emergency conditions.

ͻ With no announced warning, occupants might choose not to react

to the alarm or might demonstrate behaviours that could be
dangerous under actual emergency conditions.

ͻ During the surprise drill, signage may be used to cause occupants

to seek alternative exit routes or take evasive actions such as
crawling under a smoke layer in a corridor.




Companies use fire drills to enhance employee safety.

Fire drills educate building occupants, help in
evaluating the company͛s emergency plans, and
identify unsafe conditions that would hinder Exit.

Fire evacuation drill objectives involve the occupants

recognizing the alarm, taking the appropriate
actions, providing assistance to others who need
help, and so on.
