What to do during an evacuation

First of all, every building must be equipped with an evacuation plan and “exit” signs.

During an evacuation, it is important to follow these steps:

• Follow the “exit” signs and head to the nearest exit.
• Do not use the lift.
• If there is smoke, stay low and move towards the nearest exit.
• If there is heavy smoke, cover your face with a wet cloth.
• Use special evacuation equipment to evacuate people with disabilities.

It is also important to remember what to do if your clothing catches fire:

If you catch fire, put it out only by rolling on the floor, or by covering yourself with something that cuts off oxygen to the burning area.
