Fire Evacuation Exercise

There is a common misconception that a Fire Evacuation Exercise is merely a process of sounding the fire alarm and getting all the building occupants to make their way to the assembly point. If this describes your Fire Evacuation Exercise then it is unlikely that undertaking this process will provide any assistance to you or your business in the event of a fire.

What should a Fire Evacuation Exercise be based on?

Once you have developed your emergency procedure and provided staff with information & training you will need to test the procedure. Before undertaking a Fire Evacuation Exercise you should determine the objectives of the exercise. These may include;

1. Identify any weaknesses in the evacuation strategy;
   

2. Test the procedure following any recent alteration or changes to working practices;
   

3. Familiarise new members of staff with procedures.
   

4. Test the arrangements for people who may require assistance.
