Hospital Evacuation Sample Clauses

Hospital Evacuation. Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx (2005) from University of Glasgow has focused his attention on the evacuation of public buildings after terrorist actions (such as the London Underground, the Madrid train bombings, etc.). Based on these consequences, some legislative changes have been made in Europe and the United States. “This legislation encourages a risk-based approach to evacuation. The development of evacuation plans and the provision of escape routes provide owners and managers with means of mitigating the risk of fire.” (Xxxxxxx, 2005, p. 1) He considers preventing occupants from escaping a building. “The evacuation of the World Trade Center has shown us that the owners and managers of large public buildings must consider the possibility that some emergency exits are blocked and damaged whilst others remain open” (Xxxxxxx, 2005). There is also no possibility to use public places, which are often used as a initiation for evacuations. For the future, there is also necessary to support decisions by evidence from previous disasters to better understand human behavior and learned from it. The lack of this knowledge can be obtained from this material. However, his paper is focusing on computer-based simulation of evacuation a large hospital, as a small part of the building structures, where live emergency exercises are too risky and expensive to demonstrate. I have found his limitations of ‘live’ fire drills very interesting for my further research, which I would like to shortly describe. This is important point in terms of what are the advantages, disadvantages and ability to escape from large public building, such as hospital or such as building of Molde University College in my case:
