TIPS FOR HOW TO EVACUATE A BURNING BUILDING?

• The last one out of the room should not lock the door, just close it. Locking the door hinders the fire department's search and rescue efforts.

• Proceed to the exit as outlined in the EAP-Emergency Action Plan.

• NEVER, NEVER use elevators/lift under any circumstances.

• Stay low in the floor to avoid smoke and toxic gases. The best air is close to the floor, so crawl if necessary.

• If possible, cover your mouth and nose with a damp cloth to help you breathe(ensure free breathing).

• A stairway will be your primary escape route. Most enclosed stairwells in buildings over two stories are "rated" enclosures and will provide you a safe means of exit; doesn’t panic descend stairs slowly and carefully. Watch your steps and hold required support if possible to avoid fall from stairs.

• Once in the stairwell, proceed down to the basement & ground floor. Never go up.

• Once outside the building, report to a designated area so that a head count can be taken.

WHAT TO DO IF STUCK IN A BURNING BUILDING?

This is very critical, be careful and don’t panic.

If you're trying to escape a fire, never open a closed door without feeling it first. Use the back of your hand to prevent burning your palm. If the door is hot, try another exit. If none exists, seal the cracks around the doors and vents with anything available.

If trapped, look for a nearby phone and call the fire department, giving them your exact location.

If breathing is difficult, try to ventilate the room, but don't wait for an emergency to discover that window can't be opened.

If on an upper floor and your window is of a type that CANNOT be opened, DON'T break it out- you'll be raining glass down on rescuers and people exiting the building. If you can't contact the fire department by phone, wave for consideration at the window. Don't panic.

WHAT TO DO IF SOMEONE CATCHES ON FIRE?

If you catch on fire:

STOP - where you are

DROP - to the floor

ROLL - around on the floor

this will smother the flames, possibly saving your life.

Just remember to STOP, DROP and ROLL.

If a co-worker catches on fire, smother flames by grabbing a blanket or rug and wrapping them up in it. That could save them from serious burns or more.
