An Grianan Theatre has a 2 minute warning system in operation on the Fire Panel covering Zone 2 (This is due to the various type of theatre pyrotechnics and effects that might set off the alarm but which are used in a safely controlled manner) This enables the duty manager and the Technical Duty Manager to assess if a fire alarm is a false alarm. NO ACTION IS TO BE TAKEN UNTIL IT HAS BEEN ASSESSED. IF IT IS A REAL ALERT/ ALARM THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES WILL IMMEDIATELY BE ACTIVATED: On Hearing/Seeing a Fire Alarm (Please note that voice activated alarms are installed inside the aditorium. In the event of a real alarm, this vice sounder will activate alongisde flashing red beacons and an audio 110db alarm) your work area calmly. If it is blocked, use an alternative route. When clear, report to your designated assembly point. Do not stop to collect personal belongings. Do not return to the area for any reason until authorised by the Fire Chief to do so. If you suspect that is a fire on the other side of a door then do not open it and find another route to leave the building. If is no other appropriate route test the door with the back of your hand to check for heat and only then open the door very slowly, shielding yourself as much as possible. If you are caught in a smoke filled area, crawl on your hands and knees, keeping your face close to the floor as possible, where the air is cleaner. If the escape route is cut off, go to a room with a window, closing the door behind you. Stand by the window, call for help and wait for rescue.
