1. Plan routes and the meeting point
What could go wrong
Blocked exits; no clear meeting point
How we control it
Mark exits and routes on the site plan. Choose a meeting point away from the building and the road.
2. Raise the alarm
What could go wrong
People not hearing it
How we control it
Use an alarm everyone can hear or see. Test it. Name who raises it.
3. Evacuate
What could go wrong
Panic; people left behind
How we control it
Stop work and leave by the nearest safe route. Help others. Don't stop for belongings.
4. Account for everyone
What could go wrong
Missing people
How we control it
Use the sign-in record to check names at the meeting point. Report missing people to the emergency services.
- Practice the plan with everyone, including subcontractors and visitors.
When to use it
Use it to plan and practice evacuation, and review it when the layout or the number of people changes.
Review it with the crew before the work starts, change anything that doesn't match how you'll do the job, and update it when the method, the equipment, or the site changes.
