Safety tops everything else in the workplace. It is of the utmost importance that everyone is educated about the safety of the workplace. It is mandatory to know about the safety drills and evacuation procedures in case of fires and other emergencies. It is the responsibility of the administration to bring awareness and emphasize the importance of safety drills and emergency evacuation to the employees and staff of the building.

Things to know about emergency evacuation and safety drills are:

1. Knowing the fire safety aspects of the workplace: It is necessary to read and have maps of the building layout which display the locations of exits and emergency exits, water sprinklers, smoke detectors, and fire alarms. All personnel must know how to deploy a fire extinguisher. The risks involved and safety measures must be emphasized and duly followed.
2. Situational Awareness: The mock drills might not bring the same amount of panic as a real-life situation. This needs to be addressed, and awareness should be created on how to handle situations without panicking. Panic affects decision making and might result in severe losses.
3. Mock trials: Not everyone is aware of all the safety drills and the necessary emergency responses that should be performed. It is important to conduct drills and exercises on emergency evacuation and safety through the fire department or some other professional institute. This ensures that everybody is aware of the safety procedures that are to be abided by in case of emergencies. It also ensures that the procedures and information are legitimate, effective, and helpful.

Fire safety and other emergency procedures are mandatory requirements for all employees and organizations. They help reduce losses and save lives. It is imperative for all administrations to keep their employees informed about these procedures and conduct drills and evaluations at regular intervals.
