Emergency Evacuation Drills

Fire and other evacuation drills are a great way to help everyone understand what to do in an emergency. Employees should be familiar with all emergency situations, as well as where and how to use fire extinguishers.

It is also critical to determine which machines should be turned off and which can be left running while the building is evacuated.

To protect yourself and the ones around you, it is important to be aware of what can go wrong and what measures you can take to prevent a potentially dangerous situation. You must not take unnecessary risks and stay calm if you find yourself in any sort of perilous predicament. Companies should conduct a risk assessment to identify and prevent workplace hazards.
