what responsibilites do employees have in event of a fire?

Answer 1

1. Look out for number one!
2. Make sure ahead of time everyone knows what to do with the handicapped on board. Have a mutual plan.
3. Know where the exits, alarms and fire bottles are.
4. Don't wait for the FD to arrive and don't wait for anyone to tell you what to do. Act and act fast.
5. Test the fire apparatus twice a year for pressure and /or batteries.
6. Have a plan and practice it quarterly...life depends on it.

Answer 2

Ask your supervisor and/or check your employee handbook if you are not sure. Be aware of fire emergency equipment, procedures, exits, etc. Use your head.
As for those of us who work at McDonald's, our responsibility is to each other - we work as a team.
If the fire were in the french fry or grill area (where you see us making your food) our fire suppression system would be actuated - if needed. We have extinguishers and some restaurants have fire blankets. If the FSS didn't work to completely put the fire out...911 would be notified. The Management team would evacuate customers from the dining and playland area, employees would evacuate thru the nearest exit, and all would gather far from the building in a designated area. Head count would be taken...etc. Morals do not dictate actions for all McDonald's employees. You have bad apples in any barrell. Dragonkisses has obviously never worked fast food and it's not an easy money job. McDonald's employees actually do care about other people.

Answer 3

Notify supervisor.
If a very small contained fire,try to put it out with proper methods
(knowing what agent is best for what type of fire).
Call 911 or pull the fire alarm handle.
Alert others.
Leave the building in an orderly fasion,remembering not to use an elevator as electricity might be affected and you could be trapped.
Most employers have a protocol as outlined by OSHA and all employees should know that particular business's protocol.

Answer 4

number 1 responsibility is to get out of the building calmly. If you see anyone besides fireman going into the building, tell that person that there is a fire alert and not to go into the building. Do not take time to put your correspondence and work product in your desk, but do close your desk. Dont take time to lock it. If you are one of the designated personnel go by the bathrooms, conference rooms, etc and make sure that people know about the fire alert. Follow the instructions of firemen,police, and anyone else in authority.

Answer 5

Get out of the building and meet at an agreed upon place.

You don't have any responsibility for fire fighting let the pro's do that.

Answer 6

to go the station they were assigned, if an employee doesnt know the fire proceduire sue the company

Answer 7

Well, if ur a medical professional, ur responsibility is to save the patients and prevent the spread of the fire if possible. If u work at McDonald's, I guess ur morals dictate ur actions.

Answer 8

Just follow the fire exits,and get out safe.

Answer 9

a brave person, will try to put out the fire, but getting everybody OUT is the best thing to do !

Answer 10

your responsibilities depend on your trust.
can you trust someone to help you out of the buiding if you go back in for others?
can you trust those same people you might go in to get themselves out or to have someone else help them?
do you care?
ask yourself those questions before making any decision.
and as for the company or any of its data or machineary, **** 'em.
