What is an emergency collection point?
A designated place where people should wait after evacuating a building in the event of a fire or other emergency.
Why are fire assembly points important?
Fires are often high-stress situations, and some people react with panic.
Therefore, it is essential that people are directed to a 'gathering point' to prevent them from spreading.
If people disperse, it will impact staffing levels and your nominal roll call, which can then result in emergency responders making an unnecessary and dangerous trip back to the building.
8 factors to consider
There are many factors to consider when choosing a suitable meeting point, because simply choosing a meeting point, for example “in the parking lot outside”, can lead to major problems in a real fire scenario.
1. Size
It seems like an obvious requirement, but the fire assembly area must be large enough to accommodate all personnel. If your workplace is particularly large, you may need more than one primary collection point, especially if your premises have multiple exit points.
The important thing to remember is that the location of your meeting point will differ depending on the size and layout of your buildings and where the escape route ends.
2. Access
In order for fire assembly points to serve their purpose, they must be easily accessible and have an unobstructed path to them.
You should also consider staff with mobility issues and assess how far they have to travel, and try to make the journey as quick and easy as possible for them.
3. Backup
If your assembly point cannot be used on the day a fire breaks out, it is very important that backup options are in place. This is to ensure that fire safety procedures can continue with minimal confusion.
4. Location
Large, wide and open areas are preferred as fire assembly points, but should not be located where they could impede the arrival of emergency services, for example driveways or parking areas.
Make sure the meeting point is well lit, well signposted and has no dead ends.
5. Distance
The assembly point should be located a suitable safe distance from the building, far enough away to be clear of any smoke or heat generated by the building.

Standing too close to the building could mean your staff being hit by heat, smoke and falling debris. They may also be in the collapse zone if the building collapses.

6. Other hazards
Don't automatically assume that you are out of danger once you leave the affected building.

Check for any off-site hazards, such as vehicle movements and other foreseeable risks, and ensure your staff are aware of these potential hazards.

7. Inform and advise
To ensure evacuation runs smoothly during both fire drills and actual fires, your employees must be fully aware of fire evacuation procedures, as well as assembly point and backup assembly point locations.

Make sure that any new employees are aware of the procedures and collection points when they start their work.

8. Fire wardens
One step you shouldn't miss is appointing an appropriate number of firefighters for the size and type of building you live in.
