Duties of Emergency Team Members and

Fire Drill

The Purpose fire drill

A fire drill is a method of practicing how a building would be evacuated in the event of a fire or
other emergencies. In most cases, the building's existing fire alarm system is activated and the
building is evacuated as if the emergency had occurred. Generally, the evacuation is timed to
ensure that it is fast enough, and problems with the emergency system or evacuation
procedures are identified to be remedied. In addition to fire drills, most buildings have their fire
alarm systems checked on

The importance of fire drills

Fire drills are an important part of your fire safety procedures for many reasons. Not only do
they ensure that all staff, customers and visitors to your premises understand what they need
to do if there is a fire, but they also help you to test how effective your fire evacuation plan is
and to improve certain aspects of your fire provisions.

As well as testing that your fire alarms are working, carrying out a full fire drill will help you to
check other equipment such as fire door retainers, which are usually released when a fire alarm
sounds. You may wish to also check that your LED emergency lighting works effectively during
the fire drill. If you have found that there are problems with any of your equipment, take
immediate steps to replace it or get it fully checked out if it can be repaired. All of our essential
fire safety equipment is covered by our free extended five year warranty and we also offer next
day shipping to ensure that you get your replacement equipment as soon as possible.

Knowing all persons in danger act in a calm and orderly manner and all ERT members carry out
their tasks to ensure safety of all concerned,all persons use the evacuation routes according to
plan,all persons evacuation a speedy and orderly manner. and also all persons reacts rationally
when confronted with the fire or others emergency, all persons are familiar with the sound of
fire alarm,the emergency exits routes,the assembly area,and re-enter procedures.
Duties and responsibility of Evacuation Team
•In charge of evacuation

•To be present at assembly area

•Coordinate with security control

•Roll call & verify missing persons

•Coordinate with first team

•Update occupants of incident

Duties and responsibility of First Aid Team

An emergency first aider has various roles and responsibilities. It is important first aiders take
these roles and responsibilities seriously as first aid is potentially lifesaving in an emergency
situation.

The role of a first aider is to provide immediate, lifesaving, medical care before the arrival of
further medical help. This could include performing procedures such as:

• Placing an unconscious casualty into the recovery position

• Performing Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
• Using an automated external defibrillator (AED)
• Stopping bleeding using pressure and elevation
• Keeping a fractured limb still

A first aider’s overall aim should be to preserve life. Other aims of first aid include prevent the
worsening of the patient’s condition and to promote recovery. Take a look at our article on the
aims of first aid for more information.

A first aider has various responsibilities when dealing with an emergency situation. A
first aider should
 • Manage the incident and ensure the continuing safety of themselves, bystanders and the
casualty
• Assess casualties and find out the nature & cause of their injuries
• Arrange for further medical help or other emergency services to attend (e.g: the fire
service)
• If trained, prioritize casualties based upon medical need
• Provide appropriate first aid treatment as trained
• If able, make notes/observations of casualties
• Fill out any paperwork as required
• Provide a handover when further medical help arrives

Duties and Responsibility of Fire Fighting Team

•Assemble at the fire control room

•To lead the team to the floor fighting fire

•Report status to emergency commander

Search and Rescue

Search and rescue (SAR) is the search for and provision of aid to people who are in
distress or imminent danger. The general field of search and rescue includes many
specialty sub-fields, typically determined by the type of terrain the search is conducted
over. These include mountain rescue; ground search and rescue, including the use of
search and rescue dogs; urban search and rescue in cities; combat search and rescue
on the battlefield and air-sea rescue over water. And also search and rescue
occupants/victims and lead occupants /victim to the assembly area, report status to
emergency commander.
Security & Traffic
A traffic guard, traffic controller, flagman, or flagger is a person who directs traffic
through a construction site or other temporary traffic control zone past an area using gestures,
signs or flags. The person directing traffic is responsible for maintaining the safety and
efficiency of traffic, as well as the safety of road workers, while allowing construction, accident
recovery or other tasks to proceed. Traffic guards are commonly used to control traffic when
two way roads are reduced to one lane, and traffic must alternate. Their duties are to direct
traffic to safer areas where construction or traffic incidents are taking place. In addition they
have to moderate the traffic density to not cause traffic jams. They guide motorists to follow the
traffic laws; but may not be able to enforce the law. Most traffic guards are seen as construction
workers; but in some nations, they dress or perform

It is frequently referred to as
“rapid oxidation with the

Fire is a chemical reaction
between a flammable or
combustible material and oxygen.
Is the chemical union of heat,
fuel and oxygen produced in the
proper proportions.

The key to having a successful fire safety program is

having an effective fire prevention program.
Better understanding of fire will lead us to a prompt
