In a nutshell

What this course aims to achieve

Raise awareness of correct behaviours for a safe evacuation

A short module on the right evacuation reflexes: recognising the alarm, leaving by the correct route, and above all what not to do — going back for belongings, taking the lift, opening a hot door.

Key challenges

  • It is not the flames that kill in a building fire, it is the smoke: opaque within a minute, it makes it impossible to find an exit one thought one knew.
  • When an alarm sounds, the commonest reaction is not to leave but to try to understand why. Those lost minutes are the ones that count.

Learning objectives

  • Recognise one's building's alarm signal and react to it at once
  • Use the escape route and reach the assembly point
  • Identify the behaviours that make the danger worse

Detailed programme

  1. 1What happens in a burning building: smoke, heat, visibility, timescales
  2. 2Alarm, alert, instructions: who does what at the first signal
  3. 3Escape route, emergency exits, assembly point
  4. 4What not to do, and what to do if the route is smoke-logged

Target audience

  • Any building occupant: employees, temporary staff, new arrivals
  • Office, retail and commercial premises staff

Prerequisites

  • None

Learning methods

A 30-minute e-learning module, available remotely

Filmed scenarios in a commercial building

Scope of application

An awareness module. It does not replace the building's periodic evacuation drill, nor the appointment and training of floor marshals, sweepers and evacuation officers, whose obligations vary by country and by type of premises.
