IMMEDIATE ACTIONS ON DISCOVERY OF FIRE / SMOKE

ANY PERSON on discovering a fire, noticing smoke, or hearing a fire-alarm/emergency warningsignal needs to apply the acronym R A C E D

IMPORTANTNOTES:

ALL FIRE ALARMS ARE TO BE RESPONDED TO IMMEDIATELY. All workers must obey instructions from their Team Leader, Fire Warden or Area

Warden. Evacuating the building in an orderly safe manner is the primaryconcern and allowing trained professional fire fighters to control the blaze.Upon arriving at the fire incident scene NSW Fire and Rescue will assumecontrol and continue in this role until the ‘All Clear’ is declared.

RESCUERESCUE or assist anyone in immediate danger – if you can do so safely. Ensure the immediate safety of anyone within the area takes precedent over

commercial operations and property/asset protection.

ALERT

ALERT others and emergency services to the fire. Activate alarm if equipped. Emergency warden, area warden, most senior worker. Emergency Services ‘000’ (from a safe location away from the fire).Note: It is important that where the fire brigade has been called by automatic meansor by activating a manual call point, this is followed by a telephone call to confirmreceipt of alarm and provide further information.

CONTAINCONTAIN the spread of fire: CLOSE non exit doors and windows to contain the spread of fire and/or smoke

if safe to do so (do not lock).

EVACUATE

EVACUATE to a nominated Assembly Point when directed.Determine the most effective egress routes taking into consideration injured orpeople with disabilities.Proceed in an orderly manner to the nearest nominated assembly area.

Assist members of the public or non-ambulatory personnel if you can do so safely.Remain at assembly area until all clear is given by Emergency Service.

DOCUMENT Complete Incident Report.

FIREFIGHTING

Note: Workers are not required to fight a fire. If trained to do so, the decisionto fight a fire must not impede on one’s safety ensuring workers and yourown safety to evacuate comes first.

NEVER

Never fight a fire if: You don’t know what is burning. The fire appears to be too large to handle with one extinguisher. The fire is spreading rapidly beyond the spot where it started. You don’t have adequate or appropriate fire extinguisher. You might inhale toxic smoke. Your instincts tell you not to.

SMALLFIRE

Before fighting a small fire: Ensure everyone is evacuated, and the Fire Department is on their way. The fire is small and not spreading. You have an exit – you can escape safely if necessary. The fire extinguisher is right type and size for the fire. Use appropriate extinguisher to put out fire if you can do so safely.

DO NOT PANIC

HOW TO OPERATATE A FIRE EXTINGUISHERIt's easy to remember how to use a fire extinguisher if you can remember the acronym

PASS, which stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep. Most portable fireextinguishers work according to these directions, but some do not. Read and follow

the directions on your extinguisher.

Always call the fire department (000) immediately before attempting to extinguish afire!

ASSESS Assess time frames from lightning to thunder (flash to bang). Every 3 seconds delay equates to a distance of 1km.

EVACUATION

Apply 30-30 rule to determine if evacuation is required (when the flash tobang is less than 30 seconds).

Note: Larger outdoor activities, with longer evacuation times, may require alonger lead-time.

If you cannot see the lightning, just hearing thunder means you are likely toalready be within striking range and appropriate shelter is required.

SEEKSHELTER

Within a dedicated ‘safe area’ that is protected by a lightning protectionsystem.

Inside a metal-skinned car, other vehicle, or metal boat/ship with a metal roof. Inside a substantial (normal headroom) metal-clad building. Inside a large building, keeping away from windows and any appliances

connected to outside electrical conductors. City streets that are shielded by nearby building.

WAIT Wait a further 30 minutes after hearing the last thunder before leaving thesafe area location.
