The fire safety instructions provide for periodic tests and inspections of equipment and for drills during which workers learn to recognise the characteristics of the general alarm sound signal, to locate and use safe waiting areas or equivalent areas, to use first aid equipment and to perform the various manoeuvres required.
These drills and periodic tests take place at least every six months. Their date and any observations to which they may have given rise are recorded in a register kept at the disposal of the Labour Inspectorate.
