emergency procedure |
| has gloss | eng: An emergency procedure is a plan of action to be used in the event of an emergency, for instance, a fire. A common emergency procedure in that case would be to leave the building immediately by the nearest exit (but not by elevator), and dial emergency services (the number is dependent upon location) and ask for the fire service. Another example of an emergency procedure is the recovery position, to be used when a person is unconscious. Other examples include the written guidance on aircraft which indicate the steps which must be accomplished by the crew to give the best chance for a successful recovery or with the least loss of life. |
