Evacuation Drill

OVERVIEW

The Australian Standards 3745-2010, Planning for emergencies in facilities and AS 4083-2010, Planning for emergencies in Health Care facilities states “All area of a facility shall participate in at least one emergency response exercise involving an evacuation each year.”

The purpose of conducting an emergency evacuation training drill is to assist personnel to know their roles and responsibilities in an emergency situation in accordance with the workplace plans and procedures, and to test the workforce response to an emergency.

We assist organisations with evacuation scenario/exercise, followed by a de-brief with the wardens, chief wardens and first aiders to determine potential improvements.

The duration of the exercise depends on the size and complexity of the venue (i.e. building configuration, occupancy and size).
