What to do before an emergency

In the event of an emergency it may be necessary to evacuate your building.

To help your business, staff and customers:

  • draw up an emergency evacuation plan for your premises - test it regularly
  • make sure staff know where they need to go
  • be prepared to help the police and follow their advice


If you don't already have one, draw up a business continuity plan for your business.  Its easier than you think and can help your business prepare for the unexpected.
