1. Emergency Procedures


Chiddingfold Cricket Club’s Emergency Procedures must be followed if an incident occurs involving any of the emergency services or a visit to hospital.

Fire
If you discover a fire:

  • Close doors and windows to the room
  • Raise the alarm by shouting “Fire” loudly and clearly
  • Dial 999 or 112 and give details to the emergency services
  • Before opening closed doors, check them for heat, which nay indicate a fire behind the door
  • Leave the building and go to the assembly point by the practice nets

Important:
You may tackle the fire with an extinguisher or fire blanket, but only if the fire can be extinguished quickly with the minimum risk to yourself.

If a fire alarm is raised:

  • Close all doors and windows to the room
  • Leave the building and go to the assembly point by the practice nets
