Hearing Impaired Persons: Because persons with impaired hearing may not perceive emergency alarms, an alternative warning technique is required. Two methods of
warning: · Write a note describing the emergency and nearest evacuation route. (“Fire. Go out rear door to the right and down, NOW!”)
·
Turn the light switch off and on to gain attention, and then indicate through gestures what is happening and what to do.
Fire Safety: Prepare in advance. Know the locations of alternate exits from your area. If you are located within a building, know exactly how many doors you will pass along your evacuation route before you reach the nearest exit door – in heavy smoke, exit signs may not be invisible. Even in heavy smoke, you can count the number of doors you pass, so you will know when you reach the exit door.
Fire on your Floor: If your building has a fire alarm system, activate as you exit, follow the
procedures outlined in your building’s Emergency Action Plan. · Move quickly to an open area away from buildings, trees, power lines and roadways. If your building has a designated assembly area, move to that location if it is safe to do so.

Fire Extinguisher Instructions: o P PULL safety pin from handle o A AIM (nozzle, cone horn) at base of fire o S SQUEEZE the trigger handle o S SWEEP from side to side (watch for re-flash).
For larger fires, GET OUT; close doors as you leave to confine the fire as much as possible.
If clothing catches fire, STOP…DROP…ROLL Follow directions of emergency personnel, if present.
When a fire alarm is activated on your floor: ·
Proceed to the nearest exit.
Feel door, top and bottom, for heat (using the back of your hand). Do not open the door if it is hot. If the door is not hot, open slowly. Stand behind the door and to one side; be prepared to close it quickly if fire is present.
Exit the building in a calm manner using the stairs – NEVER use elevators. Close stairwell door behind you.
· Do not return to the area until instructed to do so by emer- gency personnel.
65
· After you have left the building go to your designated assem- bly area and remain there. If there is no designated assembly point, maintain a safe distance from the building to allow am- ple room for emergency personnel and equipment to access the building.
Stay low when moving through smoke; walk down to the ground floor and exit.
