Employee Emergency Action Plans - Evacuation |
||||||
|
In addition to the types of evacuation plans, the designation of refuge or
safe areas for evacuation should be determined and identified. In a building divided into
fire zones by fire walls, the refuge area may still be within the same building but in a
different zone from where the emergency occurs. Exterior refuge or safe areas may include parking lots, open fields or streets which are located away from the site of the emergency and which provide sufficient space to accommodate the employees. Employees should be instructed to move away from the exit discharge doors of the building, and to avoid congregating close to the building where they may hamper emergency operations. |
