An emergency exit in a structure is a special exit for emergencies such as a fire: the combined use of regular and special exits allows for faster evacuation, while it also provides an alternative if the route to the regular exit is blocked by fire, etc.It is usually a strategically located (e.g. in a stairwell, hallway, or other likely place) outward opening door with a crash bar on it and with exit signs leading to it.

Health and safety communication is essential when working in health and social care as a health care provider because it is your job to make your service users feel safe and comfortable, when working in a health and social care environment it is the employers job to make sure all the employees are well trained, most health care settings provide a training course at the beginning of the employment. Health as safety is often communicated through signs and posters; there are many different types of health and safety signs that can be located on doors and walls all over the building. A main example of health and safety signs is an ‘Exit’ or an ‘Emergency Exit’ sign that is usually located above a door; this sign shows us where we can exit from in case of an emergency of fire, another word for this door is a ‘Fire Escape’.

Prime responsibility is the safety of people. You need to act appropriately, decisively and quickly. To help an emergency run as smoothly as possible it is vital you plan for all possible scenarios in advance: Each emergency is unique and by definition will be unexpected but if you have done some preparation in advance you can increase the chance of things going smoothly when the unexpected happens. Some of the procedures to manage and emergency are generic, and where this is the case they have been included in this manual. Dealing with a serious injury Before you intervene ask yourself the following questions? Is the first aid box clearly located and full with kit.

...is emergency exits and fire protection systems. I have chosen this topic because fires can break out anytime and anywhere. The other OSH areas such as dangers of machinery, noise levels, toxic fumes or hazardous substances are to be found in specific workplaces, not all of them. Since all workplaces may experience fires, it is very important for them to have a reliable fire protection system and an adequate number of fire exits so that all workers may survive in case a fire breaks out. In the USA only, around 6000 workplace fires take place every year and it is estimated that office fires and explosions result in more than 200 deaths and 5000 injuries each year. Statistics in the UAE are not accurate about this matter. However, high safety measures complying with the requirements of OSHA are set for companies and workplaces before they are offered the license to operate. It has been noticed that the tragic history of all fire disasters is related to problems with fire exits and extinguishing systems which make an important part of a whole fore protection system. Of course, workplaces with fire exit problems do violate the safety requirements of Occupational Safety and Health Administration OSHA. Since fire protection systems aim to eliminate fire causes and protect lives and property, it is important for employers to set fire protection plans, review those plans from time to time, and regularly maintain fire fighting exits and equipment. A reliable fire fighting...

...Cocoanut Grove The Cocoanut Grove was a restaurant and supper club located in downtown Boston, Massachusetts. The building was built in 1927 and was located near Park Square. The Grove, as it was called, had been very popular during the late 1920’s, but had come across hard times during the 1930’s. In the early years of World War II the restaurant became very popular again. In 1942, The Grove was the popular place to be and where everyone liked to hang out. The building was a single-story structure with a basement below. A bar, called the Melody Lounge, occupied the basement as well as the kitchen, freezers, and storage areas. Located on the first floor was a large dining room, a ballroom with a bandstand, and several bar areas separate from the ballroom. One of the features of the dining room was a retractable roof that allowed viewing of the moon and stars during the warmer months of operation. The main entrance was located on Piedmont Street and utilized a large revolving door. On Saturday, November 28, 1942, the Boston College football team had lost in an upset to Holy Cross College played at Fenway Park. A famous Hollywood western movie star, Buck Jones, was in attendance at the game with Boston Mayor Maurice Tobin. Buck was persuaded by movie agents to attend the Grove for dinner that night despite feeling reluctant due to illness. A busboy was ordered to fix a light bulb at the top of an artificial palm tree in the corner of the Melody Lounge at about 10:15pm. The bulb...

...Iroquois Theater Fire Abstract On December 30, 1903 hundreds of adults and children were packed Chicago’s brand new Iroquois Theater to see a holiday showing of the popular comedy Mr. Bluebeard. The theater was the best in town, and was advertised to be completely fireproof by the owners and the architect who designed it. Little did the hundreds of patrons attending know that due to time and money constraints the theater was not as fireproof as everyone thought and it would soon become a fiery death trap. After it was all over with, more than 600 people would lose their lives making it one of the most deadly building fires in history, and forever changing fire science and safety. Introduction On December 30, 1903 hundreds of people filled the Iroquois Theater to see a matinee showing of the comedy Mr. Bluebeard, starring a popular actor Eddie Foy. The Iroquois theater was Chicago’s newest and most polished theater and had only been open for five weeks. The theater was advertised to be fireproof by the architect who had designed it, Benjamin Marshal. Marshal had studied many theater fires from the past and thought that his design would be completely safe. It was advertised that, “The theater had more than twenty five emergency exits and could be emptied in less than five minutes” (Weird and Haunted Chicago). Even a fire resistant curtain made of asbestos was installed to keep the audience safe just in case of a fire. The theater was designed to hold 1,600 people...

Considering the risk caused by careless parking, I recommend the implementation of a fire safety zones that will incorporate “No Parking” signs and markings. In addition to the signs and zone, I also propose regular inspections and enforcement by the local fire marshal. I believe that the root cause to the problematic parking is the lack...

...INTRODUCTION This afternoon I inspected room 23c of the college for the purpose of identifying any safety hazards which could affect users of the workshop. I have listed my observations, together with actions, which will require to be taken ensuring the college presents a safe place to work for students, lecturers and visitors. I would thank you for your assistance in providing me access to the facility and have highlighted some of the more serious deficiencies below, which will require immediate attention. The actual inspection sheets are appended to the back of this report. 1. GENERAL HOUSEKEEPING The standard of general housekeeping was mixed, but many of the deficiencies could be easily overcome. There were a good number of trip hazards, which should be immediately removed to safe storage areas. Some storage facilities available were not being used, whilst the storeroom appears to have many items which should be kept elsewhere. Apart from the trip hazards, some hydraulic oil is presenting a slip potential. The large number of total hazards listed indicates a problem with training and supervision as well as a potential lack of overall storage capability. 2. MACHINERY Some machines had relatively small faults, which could be easily rectified e.g.: lights not working, shields needing cleaned and gap adjustments required. Some shields were broken; however, some other hazards were more serious with in many instances, safety features removed...
