Notice
"Attention all workers. After our recent safety
check and new fire rules, management wants everyone to know the exact steps to
take during an emergency alarm. First,
when you hear the loud fire alarm, stop working right away and walk calmly to
the closest marked emergency exit door. Next,
follow the green exit signs down the stairs. Do not use the elevators under any circumstances. After that, go straight outside to Meeting Area B in the main parking
lot. Find your floor leader so they can check your name off the list. Finally, stay in the meeting area. Do
not go back inside the building until safety officers or firefighters give an
official all-clear signal. Please
keep these steps in your personal file to help keep everyone safe at
work."
