The Goulburn Club’s Building Emergency Procedures
Because the GoulburnClub has no permanent staff and is staffed by volunteers who operate the club on an ad-hoc basis, it is not possible to designate permanent wardens.Therefore the most senior volunteer or casual employee will take on the duties of the Chief Warden in the event of an Emergency. Consequently ALL Volunteers must be familiar with these Emergency Procedures.
- Building Emergency Policy
- Roles and Responsibilities
- Location of Fire Fighting Equipment (also available on evacuation diagrams in all club rooms)
- Fire Extinguisher Types and Operation
- Individual Training Record Proforma
- Emergency Evacuation Checklist (to be filled in by the Chief Warden after an Emergency)
