Why is Fire Drill Training Important?
Fire drills are vital for ensuring safety. They enable people to practice evacuation procedures regularly, familiarising themselves with escape routes and assembly points. Active participation in drills enhances preparedness and minimises panic during actual emergencies. Additionally, fire drill training facilitates the identification of potential hazards, allowing for timely rectification. Consequently, they promote a culture of safety and save lives in critical situations.
How Often Should Fire Trial Evacuations Be Conducted?
Once a year at an absolute minimum.
You should carry them out more regularly if new staff have started since your last drill, the fire evacuation routes change, or if your workplace is particularly high risk, e.g. work with flammable substances, consider carrying out drills more regularly, e.g. one every few months.
How do you test with a Fire Drill?
Unlike a real fire, the evacuation process during a drill is more systematic: your focus is on locating any issues with the fire exit routes and evacuation process. This involves stopping to assess as many aspects as possible during the drill. Several steps are carried out, such as assessing different routes, ensuring wardens are carrying out their duties effectively, carrying out roll calls and getting feedback at the end. The events of the drill are assessed so we can make positive changes to ensure your teams safety.
