Emergency Planning
What will happen on your site if the fire alarm actuates in the next few minutes? Are you confident that your staff will know what to do? Will you be able to account for everyone in the building? If the Fire and Rescue Service or Police attend what will they need from you? How about SEPA, or the media?
Under the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 if you employ five or more people then you must have a written emergency evacuation plan. This should be available at all times to your employees and form part of their induction and training. Your plan should give clear instructions on what action to take in the event of fire and detail the procedures to ensure safe evacuation. In a small business this may take the form of simple instructions on the fire action notice. In larger or complex premises, or where there is a greater risk to life (less able people or persons asleep, or potentially hazardous processes) you will need to create a more detailed emergency plan.
It’s too late to consider this once the emergency is underway. Preparation is key to resolving incidents however large or small, ensuring everyone remains safe and getting back to business with the minimum of delay. We can help. From a simple site survey with recommendations for procedures, to a full site emergency plan assessment with staff and management training and testing of procedures by exercise. Let us help to ensure that you are prepared.
