Creating an Office Fire Emergency Plan: What Should HR Include and Who Can Help?

priyanka.6986
Hello Cite HR Members. I have been given an assignment to make an emergency plan in case of an office fire. I am working on the same. There is lots of great material available on this site, but I am very confused as to what I should include. My senior mentioned something about who would do what in case of a fire, making a communication tree, etc. While working on the plan, I also came across some material mentioning the building structure, exit points in the office. Do these technicalities have to be included? Who would be the right person to get these details, or should we hire a consultant to make a fire plan, or can even the normal HR staff make one?

Dear Senior Members,

I would appreciate assistance with the queries regarding my fire plan, as this is customized for each office. Do the following elements need to be included: Office Floor Plan, Emergency Exits, Description of the Type of Fire Extinguisher, and Description of Fire Extinguisher Usage?

Can I do the same? If so, please guide me on how to proceed, or would it be better to hire a professional consultant?

Please urgently provide guidance.

Thank you.
