IMMEDIATE ACTIONS ON DISCOVERY OF FIRE / SMOKE

ANY PERSON on discovering a fire, noticing smoke, or hearing a fire-alarm/emergency warning signal needs to apply the acronym R A C E D  ALL FIRE ALARMS ARE TO BE RESPONDED TO IMMEDIATELY.  All workers must obey instructions from their Team Leader, Fire Warden or Area IMPORTANT Warden. Evacuating the building in an orderly safe manner is the primary NOTES: concern and allowing trained professional fire fighters to control the blaze. Upon arriving at the fire incident scene NSW Fire and Rescue will assume control and continue in this role until the ‘All Clear’ is declared. RESCUE or assist anyone in immediate danger – if you can do so safely. RESCUE  Ensure the immediate safety of anyone within the area takes precedent over commercial operations and property/asset protection.

ALERT others and emergency services to the fire. Activate alarm if equipped.  Emergency warden, area warden, most senior worker. ALERT  Emergency Services ‘000’ (from a safe location away from the fire). Note: It is important that where the fire brigade has been called by automatic means or by activating a manual call point, this is followed by a telephone call to confirm receipt of alarm and provide further information.

CONTAIN the spread of fire: CONTAIN  CLOSE non exit doors and windows to contain the spread of fire and/or smoke if safe to do so (do not lock). EVACUATE to a nominated Assembly Point when directed. Determine the most effective egress routes taking into consideration injured or EVACUATE people with disabilities. Proceed in an orderly manner to the nearest nominated assembly area.  Assist members of the public or non-ambulatory personnel if you can do so safely. Remain at assembly area until all clear is given by Emergency Service. DOCUMENT  Complete Incident Report.

Note: Workers are not required to fight a fire. If trained to do so, the decision FIRE to fight a fire must not impede on one’s safety ensuring workers and your FIGHTING own safety to evacuate comes first. Never fight a fire if:  You don’t know what is burning.  The fire appears to be too large to handle with one extinguisher. NEVER  The fire is spreading rapidly beyond the spot where it started.  You don’t have adequate or appropriate fire extinguisher.  You might inhale toxic smoke.  Your instincts tell you not to. Before fighting a small fire:  Ensure everyone is evacuated, and the Fire Department is on their way. SMALL  The fire is small and not spreading. FIRE  You have an exit – you can escape safely if necessary.  The fire extinguisher is right type and size for the fire.  Use appropriate extinguisher to put out fire if you can do so safely. DO NOT

HOW TO OPERATATE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER

It's easy to remember how to use a fire extinguisher if you can remember the acronym PASS, which stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep. Most portable fire extinguishers work according to these directions, but some do not. Read and follow the directions on your extinguisher.

Always call the fire department (000) immediately before attempting to extinguish a fire!
