evacuation when necessary.

2 Scope

3 Priorities
3.1 Protection of Life

that action is taken to guarantee their safety, before any steps are taken to prevent
the spread of the hazard, to secure assets, or to eliminate the hazard.

3.2 Prevent Spread of Hazard

The second priority aims at controlling the extent of the hazard within the building
and minimising its release into the environment.

3.3 Save Assets in the Affected Area

The third priority is to prevent personal and Company assets from being damaged
in the event of a fire.

3.4 Eliminate the Hazard

The final priority is to eliminate the fire by extinguishment.

4 Actions

being aware of your own safety, otherwise;-
A. Exit the building in a calm and orderly, but quick fashion.
B. Obey any directions given.
C. Assist mobility impaired people to the appropriate fire exit.
D. Maintain one clear step between yourself and the person in front of you on the
