The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the regulations state that the setting you are working in will have a safety policy if it has more than five staff working. This policy covers emergency procedures in case of a fire, accident, or other emergencies. There are many different types of emergency and it is important to know all of different procedures are in case of a fire or if a child goes missing.
An emergency can be caused by:
Accidents
Fires
Missing children
Illness
Security incidents

Where the emergency exits are
Where to meet if the building had to be evacuated
What to do if a child goes missing
Who is responsible for what

A building may need to be evacuated if a fire occurs. Members of staff are responsible for the procedures and they will make sure that all of the staff know what to do.
