Means of Escape WHAT NOW®??? - EVACUATION TRAINING AID

Having an alternative escape route is all well and good, but..

- How many people know where it is?
- Is it always available and useable?
- Can people with disabilities find it?
- Can people with disabilities use it?

Human beings are creatures of habit and generally use the most familiar route in and out of buildings, often passing one or more fire exits in the process. But what happens when their usual route is barred or blocked?
To ensure that people know where alternative exits are, the normal or 'familiar' route should be occasionally 'blocked' so people learn alternative routes, thus being less likely to panic in a real emergency if the route they expect to use is unavailable.

The 'What Now®???' can be used to simulate emergencies such as Fires, Chemical leaks, Bomb alerts and Floods helping you to prepare occupants in emergency scenarios.

Means of Escape Fire Safety & First Aider Waistcoats

Ensure your Fire Wardens remain conspicuous!

"The effective and efficient evacuation of premises in an emergency is the responsibility of the designated fire personnel, in conjunction with an emergency evacuation plan"

Research into human behaviour, reaction times to alarms and post incident reports have always concluded that occupants react quicker when the evacuation is supported by authority figures who give good verbal instructions.

The most obvious authority figures are fire officers, fire wardens and marshals; staff who when working as a team, take up specific positions within the designated escape routes. By giving instructions in an assertive manner, these authority figures encourage occupants to leave the premises by the designated escape routes and if required to, assemble at a designated safe area. It is essential therefore, that these key personnel are easily identifiable to all occupants evacuating the premises.
