Security
Things to do for the security aspect:
- Find someone who wants to coordinate this aspect
- Contact organisations who organise free CPR/first aid trainings - offer course to volunteers
- Purchase first aid kits, and maybe a fire extinguisher (spelling?)
- Photograph the emergency exit plans
- Find out if the fire alarm also has a visual alarm for the hearing impaired (including in toilets)
- Make not of where the emergency exits are
- Draft an "In case of emergency plan" with what to do if there is some kind of emergency, who to call, numbers etc
- Find out what to do with e.g. people with wheelchairs. The lifts go down to floor 0 automatically, so people in wheelchairs must be escorted to a different fire cell (a place with firewalls/firedoors, separate from where the fire is) and left with either escort/company or some means of communicating with the fire department (which is the best practise? Who knows about fire cells?)
- Investigate if we can get or acquire some kind of stair crawler, or device to evacuate people down the stairs (people who can't walk) example 1 example 2
- Draft a plan for evacuating everybody, regardless of mobility, visual and hearing capabilities (do we need to assign escorts or assistance?)
- Inform all volunteers of safety plan and fire exits at walk-through
- Pre-load all volunteer mobile phones (FSCONS's phones) with relevant numbers for SOS etc
- Make list of where alarm buttons are, how they work, what different type they are (Fire/Evacuate)
- Communicate results of security work to various aspects (web - for information, accessibility, group working with booklet and signs for the venue, staff aspect - to inform volunteers)
Resources
- IT-U Faculty information page on evacuation - (is it old/outdated?)
- PDF in Swedish on evacuation safety for people with mobility impairment
