Fire Safety: Procedures and Evacuation Policy

Model Policy Statement: Fire Safety

1. In the event of fire, the safety of life will override all other considerations, such as saving property and extinguishing the fire.

2. If a fire is discovered, the alarm will be raised immediately. This should be the first action taken upon discovery of any fire, however small. The organisation refutes the notion that the alarm should be raised only in the event of a large fire.
