Evacuation, Signs, Diagrams & Management Plans

Do you have the required evacuation signs and diagrams for your company site?

Every building must have evacuation signs describing evacuation procedures, and evacuation diagrams that map the exit route to the agreed assembly point.

An evacuation procedure outlines the process to follow in the event of a fire or hazardous materials emergency. Whereas evacuation diagrams must show the following details (fire safety reference points):

• The place that corresponds to the place in the building where the diagram is displayed.( Eg ‘You are here’ signage).

• The route from (you are here) to the nearest exit.

• Each exit of the building.

• Any intercommunication devices in the common areas (e.g. Warden Intercommunication Points).

• The location of manually operated fire alarms (e.g. break glass alarms).

• The location of any fire fighting equipment in the building (e.g. fire extinguishers and hose reels).

• The designated assembly area outside the building.

• The main route from each alternate exit route to the assembly area.

Evacuation signs and diagrams must be displayed in a conspicuous position, securely attached to a wall or the internal side of a door and orientated in line with the building layout.

Do you have the required Emergency Evacuation Management Plan for your company site?

This plan is a legal requirement and an essential part of operating a business. Not having one may result in lost lives and significant loss of property. For small businesses this may be a simple procedure - for larger ones the plan may be far more complex.  Whatever size your business may be, we can assist you to develop your own emergency evacuation plans/manual.

It includes such information as:

• The company name and address
• The name, address, telephone number and electronic contact details of the owner and occupier of the building(s) and the evacuation coordinator
• The Staff Fire Warden(s) details and duties
• The person(s) responsible for developing, changing and reviewing the plan
• The evacuation coordination procedures for the building
• Instructions for evacuating the building safely, in the event of a fire or hazardous materials emergency
• How to operate fire fighting equipment and manually operated fire alarms in the building
• The history of Fire Safety Instruction session(s) and Evacuation Practices
