Emergency procedure

Emergency procedure

An emergency procedure is a plan of action to be used in the event of an emergency, for instance, a fire. A common emergency procedure in that case would be to leave the building immediately by the nearest exit (but not by elevator), and dial emergency services (the number is dependent upon location) and ask for the fire service. Another example of an emergency procedure is the recovery position, to be used when a person is unconscious.

Preparation

In large buildings - like a school or an office - a fire drill may take place regularly to allow the attendants to get used to the evacuation process.
