Every business makes plans; there are always meetings about the short-term, medium-term and long-term strategies. People are concerned about the marketing policy or the PR strategy and a lot of businesses will have somewhere the lottery syndicates who are planning to escape to an easy life.

But if a business does not have a Fire Emergency Plan to deal with a fire safety emergency they are playing a lottery with peoples lives.

Macdonald Martin, fire safety consultants, can help businesses to put together an effective Fire Emergency Plan.

A Fire Emergency Plan basically ensures that all members of staff know what to do if there is a fire and that the premises can be safely evacuated. The plan should be based on the outcome of a fire risk assessment. MacDonald Martin can also help businesses perform an effective fire risk assessment.

Obviously the plan will be affected by the size of business involved. The larger the building the more complex the plan will be and it will need to be detailed and all agencies should be consulted before the plan is finalized.

The plan will include a fire evacuation strategy. After the fire risk assessment a business will decide which strategy is best for them. The simplest evacuation is called a simultaneous evacuation. This just means everyone reacting to the alarm and making his or her way by means of a fire exit to a place of safety away from the building.

When discovering a fire it should be the duty of every person to sound the fire alarm immediately. The fire service should be called immediately. If a fire warden scheme is in place then depending on the evacuation strategy in force they should help staff leave the building safely.

The plan will also include pre-determined assembly points and a roll call of all staff should be taken. The assembly point should be a safe distance away from the building so as not to put staff in danger and not to impede the fire services.

Macdonald Martin can help your business to formulate an effective Fire Emergency Plan for any size of organisation. It can form part of a well thought out fire safety strategy that all organisations should have in place as part of their health & safety policy.

Make sure the only gamble workers make is on the lottery on a Saturday and not when they step into work every day. See http://www.macdonald-martin.co.uk/ for lots more information.
