An industrial fire emergency brief can include information on how to respond to a fire, such as:
Raising the alarm
If the fire alarm hasn't been raised, raise it and designate someone to guide the fire squad
Evacuating
Follow exit signs to the nearest safe exit, using the stairs instead of the elevator. Walk briskly but don't run, and stay on the right to allow emergency personnel to pass.
Using a fire extinguisher
If the fire is small and contained, you can use a fire extinguisher. Pull the safety pin, aim at the base of the fire, squeeze the trigger, and sweep from side to side.
R.A.C.E.
This acronym stands for "Remove, Alarm, Confine and Extinguish or Evacuate".
Assembly point
Instruct non-essential staff to assemble at the assembly point. Conduct a roll call and report missing people to the forward control center.
Here are some steps you can take to create an emergency evacuation plan:
Evaluate the emergency
Determine exit routes
Identify safe areas
Develop evacuation procedures
Discuss with employees
Assign responsibilities
Conduct training exercises
Review and update the plan as needed
