Correct conduct –during an evacuation

An evacuation is the necessary clearing of a building or area that is affected by an emergency, an accident or a hazard. Possible events include major incidents, fires or hazards that make evacuation necessary for the protection of the population.

General Behavior in Case of Acute Danger / Threat (Evacuation)

Event detection by employees in the event of acute danger or threat occurs due to visual, olfactory, or auditory perception.

General Behavior in the Event of an Incident

According to the FZAG directive "Behavior in an Emergency" or equivalent or further organizational-specific guidelines (with periodic training of employees), the process is as follows:

Principle: People must not put themselves in danger during an evacuation.

1. Alert / Report – Report to the "alarm center" to inform what is happening and where.
2. Rescue / Evacuate – Send away acutely endangered, threatened, or affected persons.
3. Possibly Fight – Extinguish in case of fire, if possible (maximum one attempt).

Employee Behavior

Employees instruct acutely endangered or threatened persons (internal and external) to leave the danger area and assist people in need. Employees check rear rooms if possible.

Escape Routes

All room exits, including the signposted escape routes, are available for evacuations. Any zone crossings are tolerated during evacuations. Elevators are not available in the event of a fire.
