What Happen After An Evacuation

Post by Teresa1992 » Fri Oct 07, 2016 10:35 pm

I am currently doing a unit involving a fire and the centre having to evacuate. The last question says "What must happen after the evacuation?" (Refer to the Education and Care Services National Regulations 2011)?
I have read over this and cannot find anything that assists in answering the questions. I would assume that aside from informing parents etc we would need to reevaluate the procedures and practices that would stop another firing incident occurring.
I just don't know what information I need from the National regulations

Here's what I found:
97 Emergency and evacuation procedures

(1) The emergency and evacuation procedures required under regulation 168 must set out—
(a) instructions for what must be done in the event of an emergency; and

(b) an emergency and evacuation floor plan.

(2) For the purposes of preparing the emergency and evacuation procedures, the approved provider of an education and care service must ensure that a risk assessment is conducted to identify potential emergencies that are relevant to the service.

Penalty: $2000.


(3) The approved provider of an education and care service must ensure that—

(a) in the case of a centre-based service, the emergency and evacuation procedures are rehearsed every 3 months by the staff members, volunteers and children present at the service on the day of the rehearsal and the responsible person in relation to the service who is present at the time of the rehearsal; and

(ab) in the case of a family day care service, the emergency and evacuation procedures are rehearsed every 3 months by each family day care educator and the children being educated and cared for by the family day care educator on that day; and

(b) the rehearsals of the emergency and evacuation procedures are documented.


Penalty: $2000.


(4) The approved provider of an education and care service must ensure that a copy of the emergency and evacuation floor plan and instructions are displayed in a prominent position near each exit at the education and care service premises, including a family day care residence and approved family day care venue.

Penalty: $2000.


Note. A compliance direction may be issued for failure to comply with subregulation (2), (3) or (4).
