Emergencies

Evacuation Instructions for mobility impaired visitors

In the unlikely event of an emergency evacuation, visitors with disability, who are unable to manage the stairs will be evacuated by emergency services. A warden or first aid officer will wait with anyone who cannot evacuate via the stairs.

Please follow this procedure in the event of an evacuation:

• Escort your guest to one of the refuge points at the fire stairs as soon as the alarm sounds. The refuges are located in the lobby of the staircases on each floor and are protected from the effects of fire and smoke. Do not use refuges on staircase unless you have to.
• Use the emergency telephone (in the red box) to notify Security that you are in the refuge.
• Security will be able to identify your location through the Fire Control Centre.
• Security will then bring the fireman’s lift to your location and evacuate you.

Furthermore, it is essential that any person with impaired mobility notify the Floor Warden immediately to obtain clear instructions in the event of an evacuation.

All mobility impaired persons are to assemble at the Warden Intercommunication Phone (Red Phone) in the care of the Floor Warden.

No attempt should be made to descend the fire stairs.

The Floor Warden will advise the Chief Warden of any mobility impaired persons requiring assistance.

The Floor Warden will advise the Area Warden and the mobility impaired persons to proceed to the alcove in the fire stairs.

On arrival of the Fire Brigade, information will be passed on and rescue will be affected.

If the situation on your floor becomes unsafe, the Floor Warden will, after advising the Chief Warden, move into the fire stairs with the mobility impaired person or persons and await rescue.

This procedure must also be followed during an evacuation drill exercise.

The fire stairs provide a safe haven in the event of smoke or fire. They are fire isolated. If fire stairs are pressurised, this is to ensure no smoke enters the fire stairs and provides a breathable atmosphere.
