Evacuation Drills ..

A full evacuation fire drill must be held each year in most facilities. Drills are effective when they are properly planned and the importance is communicated to the building occupants. The majority of people see evacuation drills as an inconvenience and prefer not to participate. THEY LEAVE THE BUILDING IN ADVANCE OF THE DRILL.

Our implementation sessions stress the importance of participation in evacuation drills and we display visually typical concerns when drills are not taken seriously.

We can assist you in the planning, monitoring and evaluation of your evacuation drill. Our service includes the following:

• Prepare specific drill reports for onsite staff and 'fire warden staff'
• Work with onsite staff on the methodology of the drill
• Attend the drill and video specific segments
• Conduct a de-briefing session
• Analyse the 'fire warden' reports
• Provide a written report and CD containing the video segments of the drill

Remember, as a building owner, property manager, or tenant manger you are responsible for the safety of the building occupants.

You are required to provided documentation of evacuation drills to the local 'fire insepctor' and fire drill records must be retained for a period of 2 years after the drill.

Evacuation drills are a requirement of the Fire Code. Failure to comply can result in fines in excess of $50,000.
