How Important are Emergency Evacuation Drills?

Emergency evacuation drills are an important part of being prepared for an emergency. They help ensure that everyone knows what to do and where to go in the event of an evacuation. Emergency evacuation drills also help to identify any areas that need improvement, so that they can be addressed before an actual emergency occurs.

It is important to conduct evacuation drills regularly and to involve everyone at the workplace, including any contractors and visitors. The drills should be conducted at different times of the day and week to ensure that everyone is familiar with the procedures.

Evacuation routes should be clearly marked and easy to follow and everyone should know where the designated assembly point is.

A Workplace Should Employ the Following Principles with Emergency Management

Prevention – includes the identification of hazards, the assessment of threats to life and property, and ensuring protective measures are in place to reduce potential loss of life and property damage.

Preparation – includes arrangements to deal with an emergency.

Response – the process of combating an emergency and providing immediate assistance to people affected by an emergency. The aim of response operations is to save lives, protect property and make an affected area safe.
