Why this matters

In an emergency, people who know the plan act faster.

What to cover

  1. Know the alarm and what it sounds like.
  2. Know your nearest two exits.
  3. Go to the meeting point and stay there.
  4. Help others, but don't go back inside.
  5. Wait for a head count.
  6. Tell the emergency services about anyone missing.

Ask the crew

  • Where's the meeting point?
  • What if your exit is blocked?
  • Who does the head count?

One thing to do today

Walk the exits and the route to the meeting point together.
