Visitors and delivery drivers must be included in the sign-in system.
The site manager or fire warden conducts the roll call at the assembly point.
Muster drills must be carried out regularly to test the procedure.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires effective evacuation procedures.
Multi-contractor sites must coordinate their muster procedures to avoid confusion.
Assembly points must be at a safe distance from buildings and emergency access routes.
The roll call must be completed before emergency services enter the site.
