What to do in the event of a fire, explosion or hazardous material emergency

Follow your area-specific emergency action plan.

If you are unable to evacuate the building

  • Evacuate to the designated area of refuge — typically  in or near stairwell
  • If an area of refuge is not available go to a safe area and call 911

If you need an accommodation to carry out your area-specific emergency action plan, identify that need to your supervisor so that arrangements can be made.
