H&S / Fire Safety
FIRE PROCEDURE
It is important that you read the Squadron’s Fire Orders, which give detailed instructions on what to do in case of a fire. In short, a summary is provided:
-
Anyone discovering an outbreak of fire is to shout “FIRE FIRE FIRE” as loudly as possible and sound the alarm which is located to the right of the fire escape.
-
On hearing the fire alarm, you must leave the building by the nearest exit without running and assemble at the furthest point of the parade square.
-
Our building is made mainly of wood, so it is even more important to be vigilant, acting swiftly but safely to get out and away.
HEALTH & SAFETY
Everyone is responsible for Health & Safety. As a cadet, you must make sure that:
-
You report any danger.
-
You take care of yourself and others.
-
You use any equipment in the way that you have been trained.
-
You don’t use any equipment that you haven’t been trained on or are unsure about.
You can also help by:
-
Not placing any items in an area that will block fire exits or doorways.
-
Turn off equipment when not in use.
-
Know where your first aid kit is and who is a qualified First Aider*.
-
Know where the fire exits are and the location of the fire assembly point.
*All RAF Air Cadet personnel must have the minimum of Heartstart within their first 3 months of joining the organisation. However it is important that you know which staff and cadets you can go to if required.
