Fire Evacuation Procedure

If you discover a fire or suspect there is a fire, for whatever reason (i.e. you see smoke):

• RAISE THE ALARM - operate the nearest glass fronted fire alarm call point (located near fire exits, main doors, link ways etc.) - this will sound the alarms and result in attendance by the Fire Brigade
• You must inform a member of Convention Centre staff of the area the fire is in
• The sounding of loud alarms/sirens indicates a fire alarm o In The Royal Hall there is a taped voice message to advise of the evacuation
• Only if you have been trained to do so are you to attack the fire with the equipment provided – and only if there is no immediate danger to yourself
• Be aware of the type of fire you are fighting, i.e. electrical fires must only be fought with green/black/blue extinguishers, or those displaying the appropriate markings
