Step-by-step explanation:
Where there is anyone with mobility impairments, utilize the evacuation chair (if trained in its use) or escort them to a “temporary refuge point” i.e. stairwell or corridors protected by 30-minute fire doors, and remain with them if appropriate.
Members of staff: If you are near the tally board AND the visitor sign-in sheet, you must pick up both, check the rooms shown on the tally board as you exit, and close all doors behind you. Note the location of anyone with mobility impairment who has been escorted to a “temporary refuge point”. If the tally board/visitor sign-in sheet has already been collected, go straight to the assembly area.
If you have collected the tally board and visitor sign-in sheet and checked the rooms as you left the building, you must report with the tally board and visitor sign-in sheet to the company’s Fire Warden without delay, informing him/her of the location of any one with mobility impairments waiting in a “safe area”.
If you have looked for a tally board that you know is missing from its usual location, then report this to the company’s Fire Warden.
Fire wardens should assume their designated duties. Ensure all staff members and visitors/contractors are accounted for.
DO NOT attempt to fight a fire unless you have been trained to and it is safe to do so.
DO NOT leave the site unless instructed to do so.
Why do you think the visitor sign-in sheet needs to be taken?
- it is part of the fire evacuation procedure.
- the visitor sign in sheet helps account for evacuated visitors accurately.
- the visitors sign in sheet can help to locate people.
- it assists the fire warden to evacuate people more quickly
