Say this
- If you find a fire, shout and hit the nearest red call point. Then call 995 or tell your supervisor to call.
- When the alarm sounds, stop work and leave by the nearest safe exit. Leave your bags. Don't use the lift.
- Go straight to the assembly point and report to your warden. If you are missing from the count, someone may go back in to look for you.
- Only fight a small fire, and only with your back to the exit. If it doesn't go out in a few seconds, get out and close the door.
- Use the right extinguisher. CO2 or powder on electrical fires, never water. Pull, aim at the base, squeeze, sweep.
- If someone is hurt, check it is safe for you first. Then call for help and call 995 for anything serious, such as a fall, a crush, heavy bleeding or someone not responding.
- If they are not breathing, start CPR and send someone for the AED. Don't move them unless they are in danger where they are.
Ask the crew
- Where is our assembly point, and who is your warden?
- Where is the nearest call point and the nearest extinguisher from where you work?
- Which extinguisher would you use on a burning switchboard?
- A worker falls and does not respond. What are your first three actions?
Show them
- Walk the escape route from today's work area to the assembly point.
- The nearest extinguisher, call point and AED, and the label on the extinguisher.
- The first aid box and the posted emergency numbers.
