her/his own safety as well as that of

others.
There are no false alarms so always
proceed to assembly points any time

appliances and turn off any gas
mains before leaving class room/

behind.

FIRE DRILL PROCEDURES

Teachers pick up class

attendance and lead the class out

teachers of this.

students are alone during evacuation.
Once you are out of the classroom / rooms do not go back

are slightly different.
Lead the way out of class according to Special class
evacuation plan and route signs along corridors and go to
nearest assembly point.
All students should know where their class assembly
point is.
Take all your students with you. Walk to your left side
along ring road ( USE pavement ). On arriving at each
assembly point leave students at their predestined class
point even if there is no teacher at their point.

respective classes at respective assembly points.

Fire Drill Procedures

WE NEED YOUR CO-OPERATION FOR THE FIRE DRILL TO BE

A SUCCESS.

We would appreciate it if teachers without students

check if any classes or students are alone and take
charge of them until necessary.
An attendance of all staff members including any student
teachers, clerical and minor staff will be taken to ensure
everyone is safely out of the premises. If visitors are in
school on the day they have to be included as well.
Physically impaired Students will be attended
to by a person in charge of them.

Fire Drill Procedures

No one is to enter the building or return to a room once
evacuation has started. Not even to help people who are
trapped inside.
Only Firemen are equipped to do so successfully.
It is only when Civil Protection Department personnel tell us it
is safe to enter the premises that we can do so.
In case of Fire Drills, Head of School or Assistant Heads will
decide when it is best to enter the building.

PLEASE ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT

No Boards, empty boxes or other objects are to be placed
in front of Fire Equipment, Alarm bells, Evacuation plans
and Fire Exit Doors. They are required to be left clear at
all times.

If you have queries you can contact H&S

teachers.

Please do report any:

Accident happening at school whether the
injured person is a member of staff or student

health and safety hazards in written form on
appropriate hazard report forms (e.g.
electrical, fall hazard)

health problems or issues in class as a whole
or individual students( e.g. head lice; diabetes
or other conditions)

Suspected infectious diseases
