Emergency Evacuation and Fire Emergency Procedures

Emergency Evacuation Procedures 

An Emergency Evacuation Plan to enable the successful evacuation of staff and visitors in the case of a fire or other emergency has been developed. All venue staff will assist in the evacuation of large numbers of people if the need arises.

Organisers will assign designated fire wardens to be present for the duration of the event.  In addition, it is important for all occupants of the venue to be aware of the Emergency.

Evacuation Plan:

Each building has two alarms, which can be heard throughout the building if a fire alarm is activated or there is a pending emergency.

• The first alarm is called the ALERT ALARM and makes a BEEP-BEEP-BEEP sound (similar to a truck reversing). On hearing this alarm, all trained wardens will attend the Wardens Phones and await instruction from the Senior Warden.
• ALL OTHER STAFF MEMBERS AND OCCUPANTS WILL CONTINUE ON WITH THEIR NORMAL DUTIES
• The EVACUATION ALARM makes a WHOOP-WHOOP-WHOOP sound (similar to an air raid siren). This is the signal for the wardens to evacuate persons from the area. You will then be guided to move quietly and calmly to the Assembly Areas.

 

IMPORTANT: Please take time to familiarise yourself with emergency exits.
