Knowledge saves life - "think before"!
Knowledge saves lives, property and operations. Therefore, study the signs with evacuation plans and make sure that you know the location of fire extinguishers and fire alarms, as well as escape routes and assembly points. Observe the emergency handles and knobs.
Escape routes
The escape routes are always be kept free. The escape routes are equipped with fire doors that closes when the alarm goes off to prevent the spread of smoke and fire. Fire doors are not allowed to be fixed in open position. Doors and passages for emergency evacuation are marked with emergency evacuation signs. Locked doors are equipped with emergency escape locks.
