If you see or smell a fire, activate the fire alarm, and then call 999. Only use fire-fighting equipment if you have received training and feel confident to do so. The Fire Alarm system has an “autodialler” installed which automatically summons the fire service.

Fire marshals (wearing yellow hi viz jackets) will check the office is fully evacuated, including meeting rooms and both male and female toilets.

 

If there are no fire marshals present, please check the office is fully evacuated, including meeting rooms and both male and female toilets.

 

Please ensure you take your work iPhone with you. (It’s always important you keep your Outlook contacts up to date). Close all doors and windows behind you.

 

All fire doors should close automatically.

Exit the office and follow the fire exit signs, these will lead you out to the muster point.

 

Always muster with your colleagues so you can be easily located. The fire marshal (where there is no fire marshal present you will need to nominate a colleague to deputise for the fire marshal) will take the roll call. Where any staff or visitors are missing, the fire marshal/ nominated person may ask you to call them on their mobiles to help locate them. Please be on hand to help.

 

At all times, including out of hours, one person will need to go to the ECP (Emergency Coordination Point) to let the Fire Warden / Building Manager know whether everyone has been accounted for or not. This will be the fire warden or nominated person’s responsibility.

 

Only return to the building once you have been advised it is safe to do so by security, your fire warden, the fire service or police etc.
