Health and Safety Colleagues will ensure that they follow the hotel’s health & safety policy at all times. Disciplinary action will be taken if employees fail to comply with the hotel’s safety rules or found tampering with safety devices of the hotel. This includes employees committing acts within the hotel or employee accommodation, which is likely to endanger the life or safety of themselves or any other person. 1. Fire When a fire or smoke is discovered, no matter how small it is, you must do the following: Raise the alarm by activating the nearest manual call point (MCP). Call hotel emergency hotline by dialling “444” and inform the type of fire (if known), location and your name, department, designation and the number from where you are calling. Do not disconnect the call abruptly until you are convinced that all the details have been noted down at the other end. If possible, control the fire with the correct type of extinguisher, provided there is no personal danger in doing so. Otherwise, do not attempt to put out the fire by yourself. If the fire is liable to endanger someone’s life, help and guide them to leave the dangerous area (in doing this, remember to use the near fire exit). Shut all doors and windows in the vicinity of the fire. If someone has been hurt, the hotel doctor or nurse will be called by the executive on duty. 2. Fire Prevention Most fires are the result of carelessness. It is the employees’ responsibility to make sure that the following rules are always respected: Do not smoke in ‘no smoking areas’, or anywhere away from the designated smoking areas. Do not block fire extinguishers, fire hoses and hydrants. Do not block walkways, roads, fire exits/emergency staircases. Report damage to fire fighting equipment immediately. Proper disposal of empty boxes and rubbish away from the building. Keep flammable liquids tightly sealed in an appropriate store when not in use. Shut the valves of gas cylinder/stoves when not in use. Keep all equipment and your work place clean and tidy. Remove the day’s waste, leftover material and trash collection to the appropriate garbage collection area.
Do not let dirt, paint and oil deposits accumulate. Do not use equipment beyond stipulated limits.
