Food Express, Inc. <br /> Fire Evacuation Plan <br /> Purpose <br /> The purpose of the Fire Evacuation Plan is to ensure all employees are safely and rapidly <br /> evacuated from the facility in the event of a fire.The following guidelines are to be used to assist <br /> in an orderly evacuation. <br /> Notification <br /> - In the event of a fire,notify the nearest management personnel or contact the main office <br /> to contact the fire department at 911. <br /> - Upon hearing the fire alarm or verbal notification, all employees are to exit the facility, <br /> then proceed to the rally point located in the south east corner, next to the front gate. In <br /> the event that someone is not accounted for, inform the Emergency Coordinator. <br /> - The Emergency Coordinator shall make himself/herself known to the fire chief or fire <br /> supervisor upon their arrival. The fire department will have primary responsibility for <br /> coordinating the response or any evacuation. <br /> - The Emergency Coordinator shall inform the fire chief or police of the unaccounted for <br /> individual(s)and approximate last location. If the individual(s)are later accounted for,the <br /> Emergency Coordinator will inform the appropriate authority. <br /> Re-Entry <br /> - No employees,other than management personnel required to assist the fire department, <br /> will be allowed in the building until all clear has been given by the Emergency Coordinator. <br /> - Following notification that the facility is "all clear" by the fire department,the Emergency <br /> Coordinator shall inspect the facility. Only upon completion of this inspection shall <br /> employees be allowed to return to the building or work area. <br /> Evacuation Plan <br /> - Whenever an imminent or actual emergency situation arises and a need to evacuate <br /> personnel from the facility is determined, the Emergency Coordinator will initiate <br /> evacuation procedures by voice communication and signal system. <br /> - The primary evacuation route is through the closest exits within the building that are not <br /> affected by the emergency. Secondary routes would be through the exits from any side <br /> of the building not affected by the emergency. Employees will meet for a head count at <br /> the southeast corner of the yard, located by the main entrance. Employees will remain in <br /> the southeast corner rally point until the emergency coordinator has given the all clear. <br /> - Evacuation routes and exits will be clearly marked and posted throughout the facility. <br /> Fire Classification <br /> Class A"Fires-Occur in ordinary combustible materials such as wood, rubbish, paper, cloth and <br /> must be extinguished by a wetting agent such as water.After initial application of wetting agent, <br /> material should be stirred to make certain that the fire is out. <br /> Class "B"Fires-Occur in flammable liquids such as paint,thinners, grease,oil,gasoline and some <br /> chemicals. Fires of this sort will be aggravated by the use of water. Therefore, class B fires must <br /> be extinguished using a dry chemical extinguisher.
