In the event of seeing or smelling a fire
If you see or smell a fire, dial 999 immediately and activate the fire alarm. Only use fire fighting equipment if you have received training and feel confident to do so.
If you hear the fire alarm
Lichfields’ fire marshals (Yvonne Hassan and Andy McLaren) will check the office is fully evacuated, including the meeting rooms and both male and female toilets.
Please ensure you take your work iPhone with you. (It’s always important to keep your Outlook contacts up to date).
Exiting the building
Exit the office by following the fire exit signs. There are two fire exit routes on the 6th floor, all fire exit routes are in a downward direction requiring the negotiation of a staircase.
Front exit
The main front entrance/exit/reception is situated on the ground floor.
Rear exit
The rear fire exit is an outward opening door to a staircase which leads out to Brown Street.
Muster point: Pall Mall Court on King Street, opposite Ship Canal House (See map Below)
When you arrive at the muster point, Lichfields fire wardens will check you off the evacuation list, however where there is no fire marshal present, nominate one person to take the roll call, they will check off names using the sign-in app. (see instructions below) If 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.
The fire marshal/nominated person must then report to CBRE’s Fire Marshal to advise whether everyone from Lichfields, including visitors, have been accounted for. CBRE’s Fire Marshal will be wearing a yellow hi-viz jacket and holding a sign.
Only return to the building once you have been advised it is safe to do so by CBRE’s Fire Marshal, the fire service or police etc.
