 Building assessment
Incorporating determining a safe assembly area for all occupants evacuating the building and the recommendation of any remedial signage that may be pertinent to the safe evacuation of personnel.
Scheme development
Compilation of a document that all staff and Wardens can refer to for emergency procedures in respect to fire safety within the building they occupy. Additional information pertinent to other emergencies such as gas leaks, bomb threat and earthquakes can also be included within this document if so required.
Supply of wardens identification
Wardens need to be readily identifiable to all staff, visitors, contractors, the Building Warden and to arriving emergency services. Wardens can be identified by various means. However, the preferred identification K-1 Evacuation & Safety Consultants use are fluro-vests or armbands.
Warden training
The training of Wardens in the evacuation scheme requirements and procedures is paramount to ensure all Wardens are fully conversant with what their duties are and what may be required of them during an evacuation.
Staff training
Staff training may also be pertinent to convey to all those personnel within the building who are not directly involved as Wardens as to the importance of the evacuation scheme and how to undertake a safe evacuation of the building. With companies that have large staff numbers it is often beneficial to have the staff “buy-in” to the emergency procedures to ensure a total safe evacuation package.
Preparation and submission of required document to the respective authorities
Often the complexity of the completion of the legal documentation to the NZ Fire Service in submission of an evacuation scheme can be over-whelming and time consuming. K-1 Evacuation & Safety Consultants take all away all the associated hassles incurred with such a submission of the evacuation scheme application to the NZ Fire Service.
Trial evacuation and reporting on the trial evacuation results
Following the implementation of the evacuation scheme and the training of the personnel involved with the evacuation scheme, a trial evacuation is required to ensure all sequences and procedures put in place work are practical and eventuate to a successful evacuation. A report is compiled at the conclusion of the trial evacuation and is submitted to the parties involved in the evacuation scheme, including the NZ Fire Service.
On-going scheme maintenance
Regular six monthly maintenance of the fire evacuation scheme is crucial to ensure compliance with the pertinent regulations being the Fire Service Act 1975 and the Fire Safety and Evacuation of Buildings Regulations 2006.
