Emergency Evacuation Plans
In addition to assessing fire risks, preparing an escape plan is essential. This plan should outline clear and accessible escape routes for everyone on the premises. Consider factors such as the number of floors and possible obstacles. Regularly reviewing and practicing this escape plan ensures that everyone knows what to do in case of a fire. At least two emergency evacuation drills must be carried out by businesses in Ireland every year. Issues arising during fire drills must be recorded and addressed immediately, with appropriate control measures.
