7 2. OCCUPANT EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 2.1 SIGNS The actions to be taken by occupants in emergency situations are required to be posted. A sample sign which must be posted at all fire alarm pull stations in buildings equipped with a SINGLE STAGE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM is: (Red lettering on white background is an effective colour combination for this sign) IN CASE OF FIRE UPON DISCOVERY OF FIRE Leave fire area immediately and close door Sound the fire alarm, pull the manual station Call the fire department DIAL 911 Leave the building by the nearest exit DO NOT USE ELEVATORS UPON HEARING FIRE ALARM Leave the building by the nearest exit Close doors behind you, take door key DO NOT USE ELEVATORS CAUTION If smoke is heavy in the corridor it may be safer to stay in your area. Close door and place wet towel at base of door. If you encounter smoke in stairway, use alternate exit. REMAIN CALM The fire alarm system is to be activated to alert the other occupants of an emergency and to put into operation the approved fire safety plan. The fire department is to be notified by telephoning 911 and giving the correct address and the exact location of the fire. 2.2 SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS TO OCCUPANTS ON FIRE PROCEDURES Occupants include people who work in the building and have no supervisory staff responsibilities, including contractors who work in the building on a temporary basis. These occupants must be informed of fire safety responsibilities. November

8 Visitors, guests and the general public are also considered occupants, the emergency procedure sign is your way of informing them of occupant emergency procedures IN THE EVENT OF FIRE OR SMOKE OCCUPANTS WILL: LEAVE the fire area, taking any persons in the immediate vicinity with you CLOSE doors behind you to limit the spread of fire and smoke ACTIVATE the fire alarm at the nearest pull station to alert other occupants, PULL the manual fire alarm pull station GO to a safe area or outside the building, via the stairs, and TELEPHONE the Toronto Fire Department - DIAL 911. Never assume this has been done. Know and give the correct address of the building (25 Ballyconnor Court Bayview and Steeles), and the location of the fire in the building (e.g. storage room 2 located in the U/C Basement) EXIT the building IMMEDIATELY DO NOT RE-ENTER the building until it is declared SAFE to do so by the Chief Fire Official Go to the grouping area outside the building (along the fence) Follow directions of managers, supervisors or fire department IF YOU HEAR THE FIRE ALARM SIGNAL: Shut down non-essential equipment in your work area and ensure doors are closed to all areas. (Closed doors will give you protection as well as protection for your records and equipment.) Immediately proceed to exit the building. Before opening any door, feel door and doorknob for heat. If not hot, brace yourself against the door and open it slightly. If you feel air pressure or a hot draft, close door quickly. If possible, use an alternate exit. At the alternate exit repeat this process. If there are no safe exits or you physically challenged Stay & Defend as per EXIT the building by the nearest exit or stairwell, if it is not clear of smoke or fumes use the alternate exit or stairwell. Follow directions of supervisory staff or fire department Report to grouping area along the fence Remain Calm EVACUATION HINTS DO NOT DELAY WHEN YOU HEAR THE FIRE ALARM SIGNALS WALK, DO NOT RUN November

9 Do not retrieve personal belongings Remove high-heeled shoes for going down stairs Keep hand on wall or railing while moving Keep calm, assist others to exit Reassure others and stay calm Report to Chief Fire Official any persons who refused or were unable to exit the building Once outside, go to your grouping area along the fence and stay there unless otherwise directed by managers, supervisors or fire department. General grouping area is around the fence surrounding the parking lot. Driveway and roadway access must be kept clear for emergency vehicles. Fire wardens of your area may designate a specific area for your department or residence floor. DO NOT return to the building unless authorized by fire department IF YOU CANNOT LEAVE THE BUILDING BY ANY EXITS BECAUSE OF FIRE OR HEAVY SMOKE OR YOU ARE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED AND CANNOT USE THE STAIRS, REMAIN (STAY & DEFEND INSTRUCTIONS): If you are on an upper floor do not jump Go to a room or area with a window and telephone farthest from the side of the building where the fire is located, if possible Close any doors to reduce the spread of fire and/or smoke Unlock door for possible entry of firefighter Dial 911 and tell the Toronto Fire Department where you are then signal to fire fighters by waving at the window. You are at 25 Ballyconnor Court near Bayview and Steeles. Also give your location in the building, such as floor number and area Seal all cracks where smoke can get in, especially around door frame and heating and air conditioning outlets. Use available material or clothing and wet if possible, a roll of wide strong masking tape is also useful Alert others to your location. Crouch low to the floor if smoke enters the room Move to the most protected area. Do not open doors without first feeling door from top down. Keep hot doors closed. If door is cool, brace foot 6 inches from door, open slowly, close it fast if you feel air pressure or a hot draft. November

10 Use any balconies that are available if there is no physical danger such as smoke, etc. Wait to be rescued. Remain calm. Do not panic or jump. Listen for instructions or information which may be given by authorized personnel over speakers or loud hailers. The fire department is on the scene within minutes of the alarm REMEMBER A fire establishes itself within the first few minutes. To save your life, you must know what to do. It is extremely important to recognize the early visible signs of a fire and to have rehearsed the emergency procedures of your building. Early detection and alarm could give you the extra time which could save your life. Remember, your initial reaction and the time involved may determine your safety. At the first sign of smoke, obnoxious fumes or strange odours, immediately leave the area taking other occupants in that area with you. Remain Calm. Close the doors behind you. Alert other building occupants in your building BY ACTIVATING THE FIRE ALARM. PULL THE MANUAL ALARM STATION. Manual alarm stations are located by each exit on each floor. For your safety, go to a safe area and call the Toronto Fire Department IMMEDIATELY DIAL 911. DO NOT assume that someone else has called. The emergency phone number (police, fire, ambulance) is 911. It is also a good idea to write down your building address next to your telephone. In a state of panic, it is possible that you or a visitor will forget. Fast reporting of a fire can make the difference It is crucial for you to be familiar with your surroundings and emergency procedures. Know the location of the exit stairwells. Be sure you know the location of fire and safety equipment and how to operate the equipment. Check out all alternate escape routes. It is critical to know what to do in the event of fire or smoke. When you exit the building in the event of an alarm or fire take other persons in your area with you, especially handicapped persons and persons who are not familiar with the building. Go to the grouping area along the fence to meet other occupants. This may eliminate confusion if you become separated when leaving the building. A list of names and location of persons with disabilities or any other persons who require special assistance to evacuate the building must be updated as necessary and placed in the fire safety plan box. Remember: smoke is the first sign of a fire. November

11 3. CONFINING, CONTROLLING AND EXTINGUISHING A FIRE 3.1 CONFINING, CONTROLLING & EXTINGUISHING Confining a fire in an enclosed space will keep the fire, smoke and fumes from entering into a means of exit. In many cases this can be accomplished if one remembers to close the door when leaving the fire area. Controlling a fire or preventing its spread, by closing the door, will permit a reasonable period of time necessary for escape from the building. In the event of a fire, judgment may be necessary in deciding which action is appropriate in a given situation. NOTE: The production of noxious fumes in modern buildings makes any attempt at fire fighting extremely dangerous to untrained personnel, particularly if a large amount of smoke is being generated. Fire extinguishment, control and confinement is primarily the responsibility of the Fire Department. Your primary responsibility when you detect smoke or fire is to leave the fire area, taking other occupants with you, close doors behind you, pull the manual alarm and Dial 9ll and notify the fire department of the fire emergency. DO NOT fight fire unless you are trained, properly equipped and confident of your ability to do so - life safety is priority. Make sure you have an escape route at all times and a backup person. 3.2 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS The fire extinguishers located in the building are classed A, ABC and BC. Both ABC & BC extinguishers are dry chemical extinguishers, whereas class A extinguishers are pressurized water. Learn how to operate the extinguishers in your building. Learn the classifications of fires. CLASSIFICATION OF FIRES A = ORDINARY COMBUSTIBLES, e.g. wood paper, trash, etc. B = FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, e.g. oil, grease, etc. C = ENERGIZED ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, e.g. electrical panel, etc Note: Never use water on class B or C fires FIRE EXTINGUISHER PROCEDURES

12 Before Extinguishing Fire: Pull the manual alarm to notify occupants. Call fire department immediately. Preferably, work with a partner. Always have a safe exit route. Never let fire come between you and your exit To Extinguish a Fire: P Pull pin A Aim at the base of the fire S Squeeze trigger S Use a sweeping motion to extinguish fire If there is any physical danger, leave the area and close the door

13 4. FIRE HAZARDS, PRECAUTIONS & OCCUPANT RESPONSIBILITIES 4.1 FIRE HAZARDS & PRECAUTIONS GENERAL A high standard of housekeeping and building maintenance is probably the most important single factor in the prevention of fire.

31 10. TRAINING The Supervisory Staff must be made familiar with all emergency procedures as detailed in the fire safety plan that applies to their particular position. Drills and inspections should be arranged, as necessary, to assure the effective continuance of the program. The implementation is the responsibility of the Operations Supervisor. Responsibility for the continuance of the program is that of all the Building Superintendent and Operations Supervisor. The responsibility for fire drills assessment is the responsibility of the Operations Supervisor. Emergency procedures must form a part of the in-house training program. It is presumed that such training will include certain basic items such as prompt reporting of fire, location and operation of the manual pull stations, fire alarm system and fire extinguishers as well as limiting fire and smoke spread by closing doors, taking measures as may be necessary to protect occupants, including evacuation, and above all, concealment, from occupants, of any apprehension that may be felt by the staff. As well, occupants should be informed of work-related situations that can create fire hazards. It is important that all Supervisory Staff survey the building to determine the number and locations of exits and means of egress available from each floor area. They must recognize fire hazards and fire separation areas. They must know occupant emergency procedures as well as their own specific duties and responsibilities. Building Superintendent and Fire Wardens must be trained on procedures for physically challenged occupants of the building. The Supervisory Staff must be trained before they are given any fire safety responsibilities.

33 11. THE HOLDING OF FIRE DRILLS This section provides detailed information regarding established Fire Drill Procedures in your building METHOD AND FREQUENCY OF HOLDING FIRE DRILLS: Fire Drills are to be held semesterly (3 per year). The participation of the Supervisory Staff is required. Occupant participation is recommended. Occupants are to be notified of the exact time and date of the fire drill. Occupants are to be advised not to phone the fire department during the fire drill. Post notices. Notify the monitoring agency at (ID Code: L0815) just prior to commencement of the fire drill. Give approximate duration of the drill. The Supervisory Staff are to meet ten minutes prior to the drill for a briefing meeting. Designate one of the supervisory staff to pull a manual alarm at the designated alarm time and advise everyone which manual alarm pull station will be activated. The floor areas are to be covered by the supervisory staff. Instruct the supervisory staff, who are covering the floor areas, to: Ensure alarm signals can be heard throughout all areas that they are covering. Ensure all fire doors are closed. Ensure all stairwells, landings, exits, means of egress and fire doors are clear of any obstruction. The Supervisory staff will proceed to their designated zones 5 minutes before the alarm test and check exits and stairwells. The fire alarm system will be activated by use of a pull station at the arranged time: The supervisory staff during the alarm test will follow their procedures and will assure bells can be heard throughout area and will observe and note response of occupants. The Building Superintendent will follow the alarm procedures, but will only act out the procedure of dialing 911. The Operations Supervisor will assess the fire drill for: supervisory staff s knowledge of emergency procedures supervisory staff performance during fire drills occupant performance and knowledge training requirements The Building Superintendent will verify correct annunciation of the pull station operated. After the bells have rung for at least one minute the Building Superintendent will reset the fire alarm. The fire department communications department will be notified by the Building Superintendent that the fire alarm drill is complete and the fire alarm system has been restored to normal operation. All Supervisory Staff will return to the meeting area to discuss any noted deficiencies. Remove all the notices.
