Working together to improve fire safety
A well developed and rehearsed Fire Evacuation Strategy is absolutely essential and can be the difference between having multiple or no casualties in a fire situation!
The Fire Evacuation Plan should consider all aspects associated with the emergency evacuation of the building should a fire occur. In certain types of buildings, an evacuation may not be straightforward and may involve procedures that staff are unfamiliar with and are contrary to the approach for most building types.
If we take the evacuation of Residents from Care Homes for example. This is often difficult and complex as the accommodation and care provided is usually for vulnerable groups of society. Such groups may include those who may have mental health issues, physical mobility problems and/or hearing or sight impairment and will therefore be more difficult to evacuate than able bodied people of sound mind.
Whatever the building type, Marpal can help to develop building specific Fire Evacuation Strategies based on the evacuation needs and number of occupants, whilst recognising any shortcomings the building may have.
