Fire Evacuation Plan For Commercial Properties

Having a fire evacuation plan for business is one of the most important things you can put in place to ensure the safety of everybody on your site - employees, customers and visitors alike. A detailed fire emergency plan should make clear exactly what everybody should do and where they should go in the event of a fire. This helps the fire brigade responsible for putting out the fire if the fire should spread.

With clear marked escape routes set in stone before a fire, everybody is much safer should the worst happen. A true fire evacuation plan covers every eventuality. We'll talk through the various aspects of a fire evacuation plan today, but one of the best things you can do for fire safety at your business is to outsource your fire evacuation plan to a fire protection company such as ours.

What is a fire emergency plan?

A fire emergency plan or evacuation plan is designed to be a simple, effective way to communicate everyone's specific responsibilities in the event of a fire. Your employees should know their roles in evacuating the building or site (and helping visitors and customers too). Fire marshals should also be appointed - providing training is key here to help fire marshals feel empowered in their fire safety responsibilities.

One of the most important things you need is a thorough escape route plan. Key escape routes should be marked showing the nearest emergency exit. A safe meeting point a suitable distance away should be selected, and an assembly and roll call should follow any evacuation to ensure everybody is protected.

Fire Safety Plan FAQs:

How do I know what the best escape routes are at my business?

Safe evacuation requires just two things:

  1. Clearly marked exits to leave the building
  2. Clear passageways to those exits

Think about the easiest route out of your business, keep those routes clear, and you'll easily identify the most suitable routes for evacuation.

Does every business need emergency lighting?

Yes. Again, it comes back to the Fire Safety Order, but it's a legal requirement for emergency lighting to be in place because these act as a backup should your electrics fail in an emergency. Only with effective emergency lighting can you be confident that the escape routes you mark out will be easy to find in the event of a fire.

How often should emergency procedures be practiced and revised?

The legal minimum for a commercial fire drill is once a year. However, most emergency services now recommend doing them twice a year or more to ensure everybody knows what their roles are. The best emergency plan is a simple emergency plan - one everyone can follow with ease time and time again should a fire actually occur.

How can I make sure everybody is taken care of in my emergency fire evacuation plan?

Clearly marked escape routes that are clear of obstacles is the best way to make evacuation simple for all. A proper evacuation plan should include what to do if helping customers or coworkers with reduced mobility becomes necessary during an evacuation. Wheelchair users should be able to escape with ease, meaning if stairs are necessary to leave, a proper evacuation chair should be available. Disabled people such as those with visual impairments or other impairments may require additional assistance and this should be factored in too, so everyone has a clear understanding of how to escape should a fire at your property happen.
