EMERGENCY SITUATIONS

Any and all emergencies must be handled immediately. Personnel:  Emergency situations with personnel, either hurt during the evacuation process, or a medical emergency, must be called into 9-911.  Although the Emergency Response personnel could already be on scene at the building, they may not be aware any other emergencies within the building, so call and report the situation. (Use walkie talkies or cell phones, if available). Before exiting a closed door, feel for heat with the back of your hand, if it is warm or hot do not open, use alternate exit.

STAIRWAY EDUCATION

Stairwells in buildings with 4 or more stories have a protection factor of 2 hours; less than 4 floors will have a safety factor of 1hour with the doors closed. When evacuating a stairway, use handrails and if possible, walk two abreast. Ensure that stairwell door is closed after all personnel have entered Stairwells can be used for sheltering if necessary.
