To ensure their safety and the safety of others, employees must take immediate action, including the following:
Immediately notify others in the vicinity about the fire by activating the nearest fire alarm or shouting “Fire!”.
Leave the area where the fire has occurred as quickly and calmly as possible.
If possible, close any doors upon exit to help contain the fire and slow down its spread.
Follow the emergency protocols and procedures established by the workplace.
Call emergency services (such as 911 in the United States) as soon as in a safe location.
Avoid using elevators as they may malfunction during a fire.
Do not attempt to fight the fire unless properly trained.
