Step 1Create a safety committee. The committee should include at least one representative of each department of the business, and the group should name one representative from each department as the team leader. The team leader is responsible for ensuring his team evacuates the building, and he must meet team members at a predetermined location outside the building.
Step 2Provide evacuation information to all employees before drills begin. Employees must know the evacuation path for their work area, and the alternative paths in the event an exit is blocked. Create evacuation signs and post them throughout the building. Employees should also receive information on how to report a fire and use a fire extinguisher, as well as whom to contact in an emergency.
Step 3Develop several fire drill scenarios to assist with evacuation preparedness. Have employees stand in front of different exits holding signs that state "Exit blocked -- choose an alternative route." This will make your employees aware of the different exit routes from the building and make the the employees think about what could happen in a real emergency.
Step 4Conduct regular fire drills, but don't overdo it. For initial training purposes, hold drills every two weeks for a short period of time. After the training period, a fire drill every three months is sufficient. Holding drills more frequently can cause your employees to become complacent, and some might refuse to participate. It is also hard to hold a surprise fire drill if they are too frequent.

motivation to participate by 80%

than 75%

human eye can see, goes to yellow
first
• Lowercase letters are faster to read• Large groups need larger sized fonts• The typeface you select should match your
presentation content
Rule of Thumb:
Serif Fonts for Headings
Sans Serif for Body
Question One?Try and recall a presentation that you gave or saw when images made a presentation more effective.
What do you remember and why?
Adam Bellow’s Tech Commandments

Images• The best way to foster learning
involves BOTH words and images
• Visuals improve learning only if they are illustrating the point you are making
• First slide is on for the longest, leaves the lasting impression
Rose
The 4 StepsFind a text only slide in your archives. Take it through the four step process;
1. Select a slide with too many words
2. Highlight ONE key word per bullet
3. Remove all other text
4. Add an image
Handouts“Words can only recall images we’ve already seen”
The handout should be your running record of what you’ve seen and experienced in the presentation.
They transform what I think is important for you to learn and remember.
Handout Scorecard•Limit handout to one page, double sided
•Use two columns
•Use black and white images from presentation
•Use graphic elements to signal topic changes
•Display contact info.
•Include URLs
•Post digital versions
•Create supplemental material to post
