Emergency Procedures

 

Following a site visit and completion of a risk assessment the development of a site-specific emergency procedures manual is an important step in preparing for and responding to emergency situations in the workplace.

 

Emergency Compliance Services develop a customised emergency procedures manual to suite your business, which complies with Australian Standard AS3745 and relevant State regulations.

 

This manual details things such as:

• Building profile

• Human Resources information

• Emergency systems profile (i.e. fire system installed)

• Building emergency response structure (ECO)

• Fire and evacuation procedures including:

  • Chief and Deputy Chief Warden responsibilities and procedures

  • Area Wardens / Wardens responsibilities and procedures

  • General staff procedures and responsibilities

• After hours procedures (ie minimal staff)

• Fire fighting equipment (types and method of operation)

• Preventing emergencies

• Bomb threat procedures

• Internal emergency procedures

• External emergency procedures

• Medical emergency (this is an optional element and may incur an additional fee)

• Procedures for special situations may include evacuating people with disabilities (PEEP), unconscious people, people refusing to leave, gas leaks, armed intrusion and hold-up and civil disobedience.
