Building Evacuation
There are many situations that may result in a building evacuation being ordered. It is critical that you know your building’s evacuation routes before an emergency.
If a building evacuation is ordered, you should:
- Remain calm.
- Safely stop work.
- Close doors and windows.
- Never prop stairwell doors open.
- If time permits, turn off the power to electrical equipment.
- Walk quickly, but do not run, to the nearest safe exit.
- Do not use elevators.
- Follow any instructions from properly identified emergency personnel.
