Where ownership, occupation or operation of workplaces is shared between INDUSTRY
Group Companies or third parties then the Fire Emergency Plan should be drawn up in
consultation with the other organization or organizations.

Provision of Information and Instruction

INDUSTRY Group Company employees and other persons normally present at the workplace must
be given information about the fire precautions in the

workplace and what to do in the event of a fire. Provision of this information must include people
working at the workplace outside normal hours, such as workers on over-time or cleaners.

Ensure training and instruction, including the provision of written information, is given in a way that
people can understand. Training and information provision must take into account levels of
education and languages commonly spoken by workers at the site.

On their first day at the workplace, all people must be instructed on:

• The location and use of escape routes from where they are working.
• The location, operation and meaning of the fire warning system.

Fire action notices similar to the example in Figure 5 complement this information and must be
prominently posted in key locations throughout the workplace.
