Evacuation Drills

Requirements for Evacuation Drills

The Building Emergency Controller must ensure that there is at least one Evacuation Drill of his/her building per year. More detailed requirements for Evacuation Drills are set out in Emergency Preparedness & Response (UOM 356).

How to conduct your evacuation drill

Evacuation drills are scheduled by the Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC) with the Property & Campus Services Fire Services Team, in conjunction with the Building Emergency Controller

As a BEC, please follow these steps to have your yearly drill scheduled:

  1. Decide on a date and time you would like to have the drill.
  2. Send requested details to Emergency Management Coordinator
  3. The EMC will schedule this into the calendar of P&CS Fire Services Team, Security Control Room and the BEC.
  4. On the scheduled date, P&CS staff will arrive at the designated time and activate all alarms and tones.
  5. After the drill, the BEC must complete a Building Evacuation Report and return it to the Emergency Management Coordinator
