- Abstract
- Use NFPA's best approach to high-rise evacuation in your training program! High-rise office buildings are designed to be safe, but if a full-scale evacuation is required, employees need to be ready to act quickly and take responsibility for their own safety. Our High-Rise Evacuation video teaches workers the right things to do and how knowledge and planning contribute to safe evacuation. Suitable for all types of high-rise workplaces, it provides recommendations for emergency response planning and evacuation procedures based on recognized best practices. Use this informative training tool to help viewers appreciate the importance of... * Knowing the emergency plan and their role in it, * Being aware of building safety features, *Taking immediate action if smoke, fire, or other emergency conditions are evident, *Understanding evacuation procedures, especially when to exercise judgment regarding the best alternate course of action in extreme conditions. Three-dimensional graphics of building layout, protection features, and evacuation routes clearly illustrate key points. (18 min., Presenter's Guide)
