| If a fire breaks out prompt and effective evacuation is critical to ensuring the safety of your employees, visitors and any other people who may be present at your premises. |
| Emergency fire evacuation procedures need to be tested regularly to make sure they work properly. Conducting an externally managed and recorded fire drill twice annually will provide you with a realistic idea of how effective your fire evacuation plans are and identify any weaknesses in your fire evacuation strategy. |
| Strategic Risk Management’s fire consultants are able to carry out managed fire drills which will: |
- Test the fire procedures in place – this is particularly important following any alterations to your premises or changes to working practices
- Familiarise new employees with the fire evacuation procedures
- Test the arrangements for those especially at risk
- Identify any weaknesses in emergency communications procedures and systems
- Test the effectiveness of staff with designated responsibilities such as fire marshals
- Test out alternative evacuation procedure where required by the simulation of blocked exit routes
