FIRE PROTECTION LIMITATIONS OF FIRE ALARM WARNING SYSTEM Although a fire alarm system may be of a reliable and state-of- the-art design, neither it nor its peripheral detection devices can offer guaranteed protection against fire. Any such equipment may fail to warn for a variety of reasons: Control panels, communicators, dialers, smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work without power.
E V AC U A T I O N P L AN N I N G Assign responsibility for the following tasks: 1. Determine the best evacuation routes, and contingency routes. 2. Determine the best emergency assembly areas, and evaluate the safety of these assembly areas. 3. Determine how to disseminate information about the selected evacuation routes and assembly areas. 4. During an alarm, select personnel who will be responsible for ensuring the evacuation routes are clear. 5.
F AM I L Y E M E R G E N C Y P L A N N I N G Protect yourself by planning ahead. The following checklist will help you get started. Discuss these ideas with others, and then prepare an emergency plan.
