An evacuation plan is an essential tool to ensure the safety of people in the event of an emergency. It outlines the steps that need to be taken in the event of an emergency, such as a fire or natural disaster, to ensure that people are safely evacuated from an area. An effective evacuation plan should consider the needs of all individuals, including those with disabilities, medical conditions, and other special needs. It should also take into account the specific risks and dangers of the premises in question and provide detailed instructions on how to safely evacuate the premises. By having a well-thought-out evacuation plan in place, you can ensure that people can evacuate quickly and safely in the event of an emergency.

An evacuation plan should include detailed instructions on the evacuation routes, assembly points, and other relevant information such as the location of emergency exits, first aid kits, fire extinguishers, and other emergency supplies. It should also provide a list of the roles and responsibilities of individuals involved in the evacuation process. Furthermore, it should include a checklist of things to do in the event of an emergency, such as shutting off power, water, and gas supplies and locking doors. It should also provide information on how to contact emergency services and any other relevant contact information. Finally, the plan should be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that it remains up-to-date and appropriate for the premises.

It is important for supervisors to be aware of the position of fire alarm pull stations in their area and how to use them correctly. They should also inform their staff of the locations of these pulls stations.

If you discover a fire:

• React to the situation by calling 0777767160 or 1440 and answering all questions.
• Signal all employees by activating the nearest fire pull station alarm (if it can be safely done) to signal other employees.
• The emergency evacuation coordinator or supervisor should be informed of the fire
• Closing doors upon exit helps with containing the fire
• Exit the building using the nearest safe exit
• Anyone requiring assistance should be reported to your manager or the emergency evacuation coordinator.

When fire alarms sound, a person should:

• Declare an emergency and notify your manager or the emergency evacuation coordinator.
• Close all doors upon exit to contain the fire.
• Exit the building through the nearest safe exit (DO NOT USE ELEVATORS).
• If staff or visitors require assistance, notify your supervisor and the emergency evacuation coordinator right away.

After safely exiting the building:

• Gather with your work group 300 feet away from the building at least.
• Notify your emergency evacuation coordinator and supervisor of any missing staff members.
• Wait for the "all clear" signal from the on-scene commander, Environmental Health and Safety personnel’s before returning to your work center

Types of Extinguishers and their Use

Water extinguishers: used on paper, wood, coal, cardboard and other solid fuel fires.

Foam extinguishers: used on solid fuel fires as well as flammable liquids.

Powder extinguishers: used on any kind of fire except for Class F cooking oils.

CO2 extinguishers: Used on flammable liquids and electrical fires.

Wet chemical extinguishers: used on cooking oil fires as well as combustible solid materials.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

• Remain outside and gather with your workgroup if you are outside when the alarm goes off.
• If your clothing catches fire, roll to put it out by dropping it to the ground.
• Report any smoke or fire-related injuries to a coworker or supervisor, and get help right away.
• Unless a fire is blocking your egress route or you are adequately educated and equipped, avoid attempting to put out a fire.

MISSING EMPLOYEE(S): (Actions supervisors must  take)

• Before anything else, make sure the employee(s) aren't gathered with another team or department in the evacuation assembly place.
• If the employee(s) cannot be found, inform the nearest firefighter of their assigned location and work area so that they can (if at all possible) perform a check.
• Give the firefighters a description of the missing employee(s) and the location of their last sight.

Earthquakes are a widespread phenomenon that occurs regularly throughout the world, with an estimated one million occurring each year. These seismic events can cause immense destruction when they occur in populated areas, with the last four decades alone witnessing over a million deaths in various countries due to their devastating effects. Earthquakes are caused by sudden shifts in the Earth's crust, triggered by tectonic plate movement, volcanic activity, or other changes in the Earth's structure.

The population density of certain cities in seismically active areas has reached alarming levels, with as many as 20,000 to 60,000 people living in each square kilometer. This makes these megacities highly susceptible to the effects of earthquakes, leading to a high number of fatalities from trauma, hypothermia, asphyxiation, and acute respiratory failure. Additionally, the destruction of infrastructure can cause fractures and other physical injuries.

Protocol for Dealing with Earthquakes:

1. Remain calm and stay in place.
2. If safe, quickly move away from windows and tall furniture.
3. If indoors, stay indoors. Do not attempt to leave the building until the shaking has stopped.
4. If outdoors, stay outside away from buildings and power lines.
5. Stay away from elevators and stairwells.
6. If in a lecture hall, stay in your seat and protect your head and neck with your arms.
7. When possible, evacuate the building as quickly as possible and gather with your work group 300 feet away from the building at least.
8. Use the nearest marked exit, and take your belongings with you.
9. If you are unable to evacuate, stay in a safe place until help arrives.
10. Stay away from any objects that could become dangerous during an earthquake.
11. Do not attempt to drive away from the area.
12. Follow the instructions of emergency personnel.
13. Report any injuries or damage to emergency personnel.
14. Assemble in a designated area, and do not return to the building until it is declared safe by emergency personnel.
15. Check for injuries, and provide first aid if necessary.
16. Do not use cell phones or other electronic devices until the shaking has stopped.
17. Remain aware of aftershocks, and take necessary precautions.
18. Monitor local news and other media sources for updates.
