Fire and Emergency Evacuation
Fire precautions Worcester Office
• The building is a designated no smoking area and is installed with
Fire alarm
Heat and smoke detectors
Fire extinguishers
Fire blanket
• The fire alarm is routinely tested Thursday’s at approximately 10:00 and this consists of an approx. 15 second alarm.
• If the alarm sounds for longer than 15 seconds on Thursday morning or at any other time the building should be evacuated with staff and visitors gathering at the designated assembly point. Use the clearly marked emergency exits do not stop to collect personal belongings and don’t use the lift.
• The evacuation assembly point is, point1 the Taxi rank in front of the building.
• Do not attempt to fight the fire unless it is safe to do so call 999 and request for the fire brigade do not assume some has already done so multiple calls are better than no calls.
Security and end of day locking up Worcester Building
• We have a digital sign in system for Staff Visitors and Contractors. This will allow us to accurately track who is in the building at any given time, this is vital for completing a roll call in the event of an emergency evacuation.
• Once initialised in the EntrySign system, your existing grey door entry system cards is used on the card reader mounted under the screen attached to the test machine
• From then on simply touch your card on the reader each time to enter and leave the building, a red pop box appears.
• This is important for Fire Evacuation Roll Call please remember to touch IN and OUT, there is a running total against Staff visitors etc and if you forget to touch IN we will not know you are in the building and if you forget to touch OUT we could be searching the building putting people at risk.
