Principles of Exit Safety
• At least two ways out• Exits are within a reasonable travel
distance• Egress paths are
– Well marked– Well lighted– Unobstructed
• Evacuation training and drills provided
![Page 27: Reacting to Emergencies...Reacting to Emergencies What should building occupants do in emergencies?

How long will it take?• Complete evacuation may require a
significant amount of time• Evacuation from large buildings
can be physically exhausting• It could slow emergency
responders who may need the stairs to reach the problem

Reporting an Emergency
• Time is critical• Report emergencies
rapidly• Know the
procedures for your building

Protecting Yourself
• Do you know how to react if you are faced with an emergency?
• Could you protect yourself and others around you in an extraordinary event?
When all else fails, you are ultimately responsible for your
own safety!

Take indications of emergencies seriously– Building alarm– Smell of smoke– Observing flames– Warnings from other occupants– Arrival of the fire department
React
![Page 32: Reacting to Emergencies...Reacting to Emergencies What should building occupants do in emergencies?

Judge the level of threat to your safety– Evidence of a threat to your safety such as
smoke or fire– Conditions in your immediate area– Your physical ability to evacuate or
relocate– The needs and abilities of others you are
with – Additional information/cues you receive
Evaluate

• Evacuate the building• Relocate to a safe location
• Remain in place
Decide

If you stay in the building
Protective/defensive action–Alert fire department of your
location–Seal openings–Be prepared to wait

Re-evaluate Conditions
• Constantly reevaluate your situation until– The danger has passed– You are out of the building
• Make sure you have enough time to take the planned action
