ARE YOU AN EMPLOYEE? PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:

If you notice a fire or suspect that one has broken out:

• If the fire is small and safe to extinguish, use a fire extinguisher or hydrant.

When you hear the alarm (siren or flashing red lights):

• Leave the building via the nearest emergency exit – follow the signs.

• Do not take any personal belongings with you.
• Help others if they need assistance.
• Go straight to the assembly point.
• Report your presence to the Evacuation Leader.
• Do not stray, do not return to the building until the Coordinator or Fire Department allows you to do so.
• Wait for instructions from the Evacuation Leader/Coordinator.

ARE YOU THE EVACUATION LEADER? PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:

After activating the alarm signal from the optical and acoustic devices:

• Put on your evacuation leader vest.

• Take the current attendance list of your subordinates.
• Notify people in your area of the danger and the evacuation order: "ATTENTION Fire, please leave the building. Proceed to the nearest emergency exit." 
• Lead your team (including guests) to the assembly point.
• Close the doors of the rooms after leaving them (do not lock them).
• Check that everyone has left.
• Line up employees at the assembly point and make sure everyone stays in one place.
• Check the attendance of employees by reading them out one by one from the list and waiting for confirmation.
• Give the attendance list to the Evacuation Coordinator.
• Tell the Coordinator how many people should be there and how many are there [do not include people on vacation/sick leave].
• Wait for further instructions.

If you have received information about a hazard from an employee:

• Notify security (502 657 397).
• Press the Manual Fire Alarm (MFA) if the alarm has not been activated. 

• Then perform the tasks as you would when activating the alarm signal.

Remember:

• You must have a designated substitute in case of your absence.
• You must update your department's attendance list daily.
• In the absence of a leader, employees go to the nearest leader and are entered as "guests."

ARE YOU THE EVACUATION LEADER? PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:

After receiving information about a fire:

• Assess the situation – what is burning, where, and to what extent.
• Make a decision about evacuation
• Order the alarm to be activated and the power to be turned off.
• Call the emergency services: Fire Department, Police, Ambulance – if necessary.
• Inform security at the gates about the need to secure the facility.

During the evacuation:

• Put on the coordinator's vest.
• Open or instruct someone to open the entrance gates for the Fire Department.
• Make sure that fire lanes are free of vehicles.
• Secure the entrances—no one is allowed to return to the building.
• Assign people to direct traffic and block the entrance to delivery vehicles.
• Remain calm – do not allow panic to spread.

After evacuation:

• Collect reports from leaders on the status of personnel (if necessary, call them to you).
• Pass on information about the situation and personnel status to the fire department commander.
• Once the operation is complete, issue a decision to end the evacuation for people at the assembly point: Clearly emphasize that it is safe to return to work: "The threat has been eliminated, the alarm has been canceled, you can return to work."
