Safety on Centre - fire procedure
Familiarise Yourself
- Familiarise yourself with the emergency exit routes and the designated fire assembly point in case of fire or other emergency.
- Ensure emergency exit routes and doors are free from obstructions and walk the routes to familiarise yourself with them.
- Read the ‘action in case of fire’ notices, including where the fire assembly point will be and brief the group on the procedure.
Site Tour / Fire Procedure
- During the site tour we will expect the accompanying adults to walk the group to their designated meeting point. Centre staff may not be present when a fire alarm goes off and the group needs to understand the procedure to be followed.
- Adults should consider their procedures for checking their allocated rooms/accommodation to ensure everyone is accounted for.
If a fire alarm sounds
It is your responsibility to make your way to the fire meeting point.
Ensure you have your rooming/accommodation list and can account for all group members outside of the building (for this reason it is important to inform us of any changes to your rooming/accommodation lists).
Once at the fire assembly point
Line up your group in front of the allocated sign.
Inform the Fire Marshall (who will be wearing a high visibility vest) if your group is present and correct or if any children are missing.
You will be informed when it is safe to re-enter the building/campsite; please do not do so until you are told.
Minimising false alarms (UK and northern France)
Inside all guest accommodation are sensors for the fire alarm. They are very sensitive and even the steam from a shower or aerosols can set them off. Please help to prevent any false alarms by encouraging guests to ensure doors to the bathrooms are kept closed and any aerosols are only used in the bathrooms.
