Which plan outlines actions employees should take during a fire?

Having a formal Emergency Action Plan means there’s a documented set of actions employees should take during a fire. It specifies who to alert and when, the steps to evacuate safely, the routes to use, where to assemble, and how staff are accounted for after leaving the building. It also covers training, roles for fire marshals, and how to communicate with emergency services. The fire alarm system is the equipment that signals a fire, not the plan itself. A process for evacuation drills is the practice of carrying out evacuations, not the plan detailing actions during an actual fire. Fire exit markings are signage that helps guide people to exits, not the plan of actions.
