Builds on: Fire Safety and Prevention (Part 2)
Exits, Escape Doors and Electric Locks
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
In many deadly fires, people died because an exit was locked or blocked. A guard holds many keys. This unit teaches one rule that saves lives: people must always be able to get out.
Focus: never lock or chain an escape route. Keep exits clear, and know how your electric locks behave in a fire or power cut.
Learning objectives
- Explain why escape routes must never be locked, chained or blocked.
- Describe how alarmed exit doors keep a site both safe and secure.
- Explain fail-safe and fail-secure locks in plain words.
- Check exits on patrol, including during a power cut.
