CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR FIRE

FIRE EMERGENCY CONTINGENCY PLAN

In the event of a fire in the office, the following contingency plan will be put into action.

At the time that a fire is discovered, the following procedures should be followed:

1. Call 112 immediately and report the fire;

2. Notify the department ER (Emergency Response) Team Leader or Department
Supervisor, known as the Person In Charge (PIC);
3. The fire should be inspected by the person notified in 2 and that person will decide
whether the building should be evacuated;
4. In the case of a minor fire, all personnel in the area subject to smoke inhalation should be
evacuated;
5. The PIC will attempt to extinguish the fire;
6. If the fire is not minor, or is not extinguishable by the PIC, he or she will be responsible
for signaling the fire alarm and evacuating their department;
7. All employees should be evacuated from the building and gather at the designated
emergency meeting area (muster point);
8. In the event of a fire, or any other emergency, elevators should not be used.

Each department will have a Teal Leader and a Team Co-Leader. Responsibility falls on the
Team Leader, or Co-Leader, in the Leader’s absence, to account for all personnel in the
department and assist in their evacuation of the department offices and the building. The list
below accounts for those personnel assigned to each department.
