Prevention Of Personal Injury And Loss Of Life

There are critical elements that should be included in any emergency plan. In response to a natural disaster (i.e. tornado), you should take shelter in the basement. If there isn’t one, then you should take shelter in an interior room on the lowest level and stay away from doors and windows. In response to a fire, you should call 911 and evacuate the building. If

Secondly, there should be a contingency plan against any wildfires. All drilling sites should have good up to date fire-fighting equipment as well as fire extinguishers in good condition around the area as well. If a wildfire does break out, it the responsibility of the contractor to try and put out the fire with the equipment they should have on site already before the actual local firefighter agencies come by to take over the situation. When dealing with a wildfire, it is important to know the following:

If smoke or fire is observed, the fire department is called and told the location of the fire. No one is allowed to re-enter the building.

In the event of a fire it is crucial you follow these steps in a timely manner

Evacuation protocol will follow with the activation of the visual evacuation alarm triggered either by the Building Manager or member of Emergency Management Team or Emergency Coordinator will contact Kennewick Police Department. VISUAL ALARM WILL BE TRIGGERED AS THE AUDITORY ALARM MAY TRIGGER A BOMB BLAST.

At work during the pre-shift meeting we get reminded or quizzed on the evacuation routes, what to do in the event of an emergency, where to go, and what to tell our guests. I can remember in elementary school, we were evacuated due to a French fry getting stuck in the fryer too long and it caused a whole lot of smoke in the cafeteria. It could have been a whole lot more serious, but thankfully it was not. It is important to evacuate in all situations because you never know what could actually be going on until it could be too late. During the Seton Hall fire back in 2000, due to the smoke it was almost impossible for some students to evacuate. That is a scary thing, and it really demonstrates why evacuation drills are so important because they familiarize occupants with the route to

Cornerstone is a very popular bar for University of Maryland students to go drink, socialize, and dance with friends. As a result, the 2nd floor tables get moved after 11 PM on popular nights, and are converted into a dance floor, which creates a very densely packed crowd of occupants. The currently building evacuation procedures do not familiarize the occupants with the appropriate egress routes and evacuation procedures during an emergency fire. This discrepancy can be rectified by the implementation of monthly training fire drills, by competent staff to guide the occupants in a conductive and pre-planned manner. The staff of Cornerstone needs to be educated better on the evacuation procedures set forth by the fire marshal for the building. This is appropriate because

Instruct patrons to leave immediately by the safest route. Be sure all patrons have exited.

In the event of a fire at your work place, it is absolutely critical that your staff are well trained enough to function efficiently in such a crisis; it really doesn’t matter how recent your Fire Risk Assessment is or how well written your emergency plan if no one has taken any notice of your instructions or even practiced an actual fire-drill.

When the fire alarm sounds, the doors will automatically close, each door has 30 minutes to burn before it takes effect. Once the fire is allocated 999 will be called. In my service we have a fire plan and peeps (personal emergency evacuation plan), this gives information of who live where and their abilities and needs this will be read by an allocated person who will then ask members of staff to start evacuation, starting with the people we support nearest to the fire. Once the fire brigade arrive the lead person will hand over any relative information and the fire brigade will take over the role of evacuation. Staff and people we support will be evacuated to the fire call point which in my service is the main car park furthest away

There are three key elements to ensure a successful evacuation exercise: an up-to-date emergency operations plan, the commitment of the evacuation team, and full participation and engagement of the drill participants.

For lockdown drills it is important that the students practice remaining quiet for safety reasons as the students and teachers will hide away from the door and any open windows. For the fire evacuation drill, the teacher will lead the students to the nearest exit. During this procedure it is important that the students remain quiet and in a straight line. Once outside, it is important for the teacher to make sure his or her students are there. Once the okay is given, they will walk back into the

If a fire stated in Dr. Smith office while there were patients in the office an evacuation procedure should be done immediately. The evacuation procedure called RACE is the man common used when evacuation. The first step to evacuate is (R) to rescue or remove people in immediate danger. Second will be (A) to alert others that there is a fire. Then you will (C) contain the fire to the room or space of origin by closing the door in where the fire started which will restrict the fire from spreading. Last (E) extinguish if safe to do so or if fire is to large evacuate the building (Seattle fire department fire prevention division, 2007). Now if there were a tornado coming towards Dr. Smith office the first step would be get everyone together and

Since my audience is a mixed group of individuals who are not associated with my organization, for the purpose of this assignment I will assume that they are actually members of the Fire Prevention and Education division of the Kern County Fire Department. After reviewing the materials presented both in the book and covered in my prior presentations, Fire Prevention and Education is the division that could benefit the greatest from a needs assessment. Going through each of the needs assessment steps –(1) identify problem or need, (2) determine needs-assessment, (3) collect data, (4) analyze data, (5) provide feedback– resulted in the creation of a desired performance or behavior that is measurable, observable, and realistic. The training will be focused on the ensuring that the division members improve their ability to work with, both private and public organizations, to create emergency evacuation plans.

All locations on site must assess the potential emergencies hat could occur at their site or working environment, so that adequate planning can take place. Activities of neighbouring businesses or residential must also be taken into account as well as climatic conditions.
