If your institution’s telephone and email systems are down, you’ll want other options for
contacting people. Consider including personal mobile phone numbers and personal
email accounts. While this level of disaster may be unlikely, having this information is
particularly useful if one should occur.
Consider including the names and phone numbers of staff members at other institutions
who may be able to provide advice or assistance immediately
Fire
In case of fire alarm:
1. Evacuate staff and patrons from the building. Always and immediately evacuate the
building in case of an alarm; do not wait to find out if it’s a false alarm.
2. Do not reenter the building until given an “all clear” from security or emergency
management officials
3. If you discover a fire:
1. Get everyone to a safe area away from the fire.
2. Call 911 and report the location of the fire.
3. Activate fire alarms.
4. Notify the [receptionist or title of appropriate individual] so that he or she can direct
first responders to the right location.
5. Small fires: Use fire extinguishers, but only if it is safe to do so.
6. Large fires: Get out of the building.
7. All fires, large or small, must be reported to Reception, 04712333193.
Evacuation
Staff Assembly Area Car Parking area, Front of the Hospital
1. If possible, use the buddy system, working in pairs.
2. If safe, secure vital records and shut down electrical equipment.
3. Inform patrons and guests that the building must be evacuated.
4. Proceed to the nearest, safe exit.
- Do not use elevators.
- Stay low to the ground if there is smoke.
- If the door is hot or if smoke is visible, do not open the door. Use another exit.
- Close doors as you exit to help contain fire and smoke.
5. Do not attempt to save possessions at the risk of personal injury.
6. Floor Wardens: To the extent that it is safe, walk through your designated area,
checking for any people who have not evacuated.
7. Assemble at Car Parking area, Front of the Hospital.
8. Supervisors: Tally all personnel in the assembly area. Work with staff to identify
any individuals who were at work but who are not in the assembly area and may still
be in the building.
9. Do not re-enter the building until authorized by supervisors.
If trapped in a room:
1. Place cloth material under and around a door to prevent smoke from entering.
2. Close as many doors as possible between you and the fire.
3. Stay low to the ground to avoid inhaling smoke.
4. Try to signal your location through a window.
5. If you have a cell phone, call 04712333193.
Disabled individuals:
Always involve individuals with disabilities in their own evacuation because they are best
informed about their disabilities and how best to move them out of a building in an
emergency. Ensure that these individuals always have someone with them.
Individuals with mobility impairments who cannot evacuate the building without
assistance should be taken to an area of refuge (often the landing of an exit stairwell
enclosed by a fire door) where they can be rescued by the fire department.
Individuals who are visually impaired may need assistance to go through areas that they
don’t typically use. If they need your assistance, explain where you are going, any
obstacles, and the direction in which you are about to turn. When you reach the staff
assembly area, orient the individual to the surrounding area.
All Staff:
1. Read and re-familiarize yourself with these procedures. Ask questions about anything
you do not understand.
2. Be able to identify two emergency exit paths.
3. Locate the fire alarms closest to your work area(s).
