Emergency Preparedness: Evacuation Drill Checklist

by Carl Beckett, from the Community

30+

This emergency preparedness template supports planning and evaluating workplace evacuation drills. It captures key information such as date, start and end times, and documents whether alarms were sounded and detected in all areas. The checklist verifies if evacuations were completed, employees know fire extinguisher locations, wardens understand their duties, and doors and windows were closed. It also confirms contractors and visitors responded appropriately, that visitors and contractors were accounted for, and that overhead cranes were lowered to the ground where applicable. The form prompts general remarks, notes on evacuation effectiveness, and an overall assessment to help teams identify gaps and improve their emergency response procedures.

Fire Drill Checklist and Evacuation Log
This fire drill checklist helps facilities and workplaces plan, conduct, and document evacuation drills. It captures key details such as drill type, whether people in immediate danger were evacuated, if the zone of origin was cleared, doors were closed to control smoke and fire spread, and whether alarms are monitored. Teams can verify that life safety systems functioned, evacuations were timely and orderly, a designated meeting location was used, and occupants followed procedures. Use it to standardize emergency preparedness across locations and track evacuation times for continuous improvement.
