In order to ensure that all people in the workplace are prepared for emergencies, the following plan has been adopted:

• All employees are briefed on our Emergency Procedures by the Manager, with regular refresher briefings being provided as deemed necessary.
• Fire Warden(s) and First Aider(s) are identified and trained regarding their responsibilities in the event of emergency. Refer Emergency Personnel Lists.
• People requiring special assistance in the event of emergency are identified.  
• Evacuation drills are conducted, at least quarterly, followed by constructive debrief session(s). 

There are many things we need to do in respect of preparing the workplace, including: 

• Publishing a specific Site Map for your premises showing the location of:
• Assembly points.
• First Aid kits. 
• Fire extinguishers.
• Gas cut off valve.
• Main Electrical Switchboard. 

• Preparing a list of your specific Emergency Contact details.
• Ensuring sufficient First Aid kits are available and fully stocked.
• Ensuring your Civil Defence kit has been prepared.
• Checking fire hoses and extinguishers at least annually.
• Displaying posters outlining Evacuation Procedures and Assembly Points in every work area.
• Clearly marking and identifying all Emergency Exits.
• Ensuring Main doors and Exit points are clear of obstructions.
• Implementing procedures for securing critical documents.
