FIRE SAFETY AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE

Safety rules, emergency information and evacuation routes are

prominently displayed
- Good use of the skills above
- Evacuation plan (break the glass and go to the eating area),
shows use of safety rules, emergency information and
evacuation routes in case of a fire.
- Exit signs
The Alarm can be heard in the area (when applicable)
- Smoke alarms can be seen, unknown if they work but given
the age of the building (fairly new) it would be thought that
they should work, but maybe a 6 monthly test would be great
Doorways, walkways and evacuation exits are kept clear and at
least 600mm wide
- Some chairs where possible tripping hazards, so moving chairs
and other objects that get used daily if not in use needs to be
implemented
External exit doors can be opened from the inside without a key and
emergency fire exits are signed
- Exit signs clearly visible, easy to read and follow, done very
properly
- Exit doors with special opening, easy to use for fire, not much
needs to be improved here
Fire Control equipment is easily accessible, signed and regularly
tested and of the appropriate type
- 3x fire extinguishers, 2x fire blankets, sprinklers on the ceiling,
Fire bells, electrical fire extinguisher,
- Fire equipment is signed and in date, also regularly checked,
so no extra notes or concerns need to be considered
Emergency lighting
- Need some form of torch, light etc that are working so if lights
fail people are not stuck in the darkness
An approved first aid kit is readily available and stocked
appropriately
- First aid kit approved and easily accessible , the only thing
that needs to be considered is qualified to use the first aid
equipment available in the building or in one close to the
building.
