Emergency Evacuation Procedure – April 2019

If you suspect fire or experience a smell of burning - alert Council Staff – report it immediately.

Never shout fire! You could cause a panic

A smoke detector is fitted in the Trainer’s room ceiling, this should trigger a high frequency sound when smoke has been detected. When activated, any person nearby should report it to the Council Staff. A back up emergency light is also fitted in the Trainer’s room ceiling and this should assist in the evacuation when the electricity supply has been cut off. If a NBC Fire Warden or Fire Brigade is in attendance, follow His/Her instructions.

If a Fire Warden or Fire Brigade is NOT in attendance:

Remain Calm
Evacuate towards a clear safe exit away from danger area. The Infirmed, Walker and Wheelchair users should be assisted and evacuated as a priority.
