Evacuation Procedures
Preparing Organisations for Safe, Orderly and Coordinated Emergency Evacuations
Emergencies often develop rapidly and leave little time for planning. Organisations that prepare in advance are better positioned to protect people, reduce confusion and support effective emergency response.
This programme develops an understanding of evacuation planning, emergency communication and the responsibilities of Security Officers and employees in supporting safe and orderly evacuations.
Programme Overview
Every workplace should have clearly understood evacuation procedures that help protect employees, visitors and contractors during emergencies.
Security Officers frequently assist in implementing organisational evacuation plans, directing people, supporting emergency coordinators and maintaining calm throughout the evacuation process.
This programme introduces the principles of evacuation preparedness while complementing organisation-specific emergency plans and statutory requirements.
