Means of Egress (Evacuation Protocol)
Understanding the procedures of evacuation can be the difference
between life and death. In the recent night club incidents a tragic
loss of life can occur with minutes. A pre-planed communicated evacuation
plan can be a major factor between life and death. Detailed floor
plans with primary and evacuation routes are essential. But, that
is not enough!
In addition, an evacuation drill must be accomplished efficiently
and effective. What our consultants have learned is that in all
incidents a certain degree of panic and fear will preside over an
individual. These infectious emotions “Panic and Fear”
will cause confusion and eventually if not channeled will cause
an individual to lose his/her life.
Finite Strategies L.L.C. consultant based on our actual experience
understand these emotions and the disastrous outcomes that may occur.
In addition, we also have an in-depth experience in evacuating schools,
high rise buildings, nursing homes, hospitals, and businesses. Our
procedures have been tested during incidents and have proved vital
towards our clients.
Finite Evacuation Process
Our process starts with a risk assessment on the procedures developed
from both internal and external considerations.
The following criteria will be included within this risk assessment:
(Not Limited to the following)
• OSHA Requirements 29 CFR 1910 Subpart E
• Exit Routes (Primary & Alternate)
• Emergency Action Plans, Fire Prevention Plans
• Locking Exits
• Access to Exits
• Maintaining Exit Routes
• Exit Markings
• Fire Extinguishers
• Fire Company Response (Career vs. Volunteer)
• Ambulance Response (EMS)
The next step will be to consult on the finding of our assessment
with these key personnel. After the first two steps have been completed
our process will be then to develop / evaluate in coordination with
key personnel primary and alternate evacuation routes, to include
an accountability system. Our final process will be to develop and
critique a full functional drill.
