Evacuation plans shall contain both graphic and textual parts. The graphic part shall comprise a floor plan (section-by-section) of the building or structure with indication of escape exits (staircases, exterior open staircases, exits directly to the outside), routes for spectators and service personnel, and a symbolic representation of the location of manual fire alarm buttons, telephone sets, fire extinguishing equipment (fire hydrants, fire extinguishers).

The text shall detail the order and sequence of the evacuation of people, the duties of the service personnel and the forces engaged to service the competition or cultural and entertainment event to signal a fire and organise the movement of people to the evacuation exits.

2. The evacuation plan shall consider several (3-5) options for evacuating people from the structure or building depending on the most likely locations of a fire, the possible nature of its development, the occupancy of the structure by spectators and the availability of additional forces engaged for competitions and cultural and entertainment events.

The textual part of the evacuation plans for each option shall reflect:

organisation of the fire alarm system (who decides whether or not to evacuate, warning zones and methods of notification, number of people to be notified);

the number of staff as well as additional forces engaged for the evacuation (order of assembly, places of assembly, zone and sector heads, assembly signals);

evacuation routes (their length and direction, who is responsible for the routes, evacuation procedures, responsibilities of service personnel and additional forces engaged in the evacuation process);

final points of departure (order of dispersal of evacuees, provision of medical assistance if necessary);

evacuation procedures for the use of emergency exits, the possibility of using emergency escape equipment, as well as various equipment and engineering systems (smoke-extraction systems, automatic fire extinguishers, intercoms, radios) for the evacuation and successful execution of the evacuation).

3. The graphic part of the plan shall contain evacuation routes (green solid line with arrows in the direction of the escape exits). Where there are large numbers of people in a structure, there shall be evacuation zones marked in different colours on the plans, indicating the direction of evacuation from these zones. The evacuation plan shall include alternate escape routes (green dashed line).

4. The evacuation plan (graphical and textual parts) shall be visibly displayed in a prominent place in the premises of the fire station or other room with 24-hour attendant duty, as well as with the management of the facility.

The symbols in the graphic shall be deciphered below the evacuation plan in the national and Russian languages.

5. In addition to the general evacuation plan for the building as a whole, each area (sector, group of rooms) shall be equipped with an extract from the general evacuation plan (various options) with a memo on fire safety measures and rules of conduct in case of fire, which shall be kept by the responsible persons on duty in the areas, sectors.

An extract from the evacuation plan shall show: stairwells, lifts and lift halls, rooms showing doorways, balconies, corridors, exterior staircases.

The premises the extract from the evacuation plan is intended for shall be marked on the floor plan of the sector, zone with the inscription “The room, zone, where you are...”.

Lines showing the direction of evacuation shall be marked from the premises in question to the exit to a place of safety or directly to the outside.

An extract from the evacuation plan shall be displayed in a prominent place in the room under glass (film), the size of the extract from the plan shall not be less than 20 x 30 centimetres.

A transcription of the symbols used shall be shown under the extract from the evacuation plan.

The textual part of the statement shall specify responsibilities of persons and sequence of actions of service personnel as well as of forces engaged in evacuation.

The text part of the extract from the general evacuation plan shall be kept with the person responsible for evacuating the area, sector, room.

Annex 3 to the Fire Safety Rules

Protective measures to prevent fires and explosions in the surgery

1. The drugs shall be drained after operation from the evaporator into a hermetically sealed receptacle to prevent self-ignition. The ether shall be drained slowly and must not be splashed. The ether remaining after anaesthesia must not be discharged into the sink.

Ether must not be poured from the evaporator into the receiving vessel in a free falling stream. Funnels of electrically conductive material shall be applied for this purpose, the funnels shall be earthed and the end of the funnel shall be reached to the bottom of the vessel. Otherwise the end of the grounded conductor shall be passed through the funnel to the bottom of the vessel so that the ether flows into the vessel through this conductor.

2. Once the anaesthetic has been drained, the evaporator, hoses and all removable parts of the anaesthetic apparatus shall be rinsed with warm water.

3. Inhalation anaesthesia machines shall be cleaned (washed) and decontaminated in compliance with departmental regulations.

4. No transfer of gases from one cylinder to another or the introduction of additional gases or drugs into a cylinder containing compressed gases shall be permitted in surgery. This shall be done in specially equipped rooms by trained personnel.

5. No open flames (matches, gas burners, lit matches), smoking or the use of electric heaters shall be permitted in operation and anaesthetic rooms. A heating pad shall be used to warm up the cylinder valve.

6. The temperature of exposed surfaces of equipment used in anaesthesia and operating theatres does not exceed 120°C.

7. Overheating of the bulb of endoscopic instruments shall be unacceptable.

8. No faulty or sparking electrical equipment may be used during anaesthesia.

9. All electromedical equipment used in hazardous areas must be explosion-proof.

10. No thermocouplers, diathermy machines, electrosurgical machines such as EN-57 and others, non-explosion-proof X-ray machines, defibrillators shall be used during anaesthesia with flammable anaesthetics.

Note. The use of the above apparatus shall be permitted, provided that non-flammable mixtures such as fluorotane, nitrous oxide, chloroform etc. are used, but the use of flammable disinfectants shall be prohibited.

11. Floors in operating rooms that are made of antistatic materials must be cleaned regularly to prevent a non-conductive film from forming (due to dirt deposits), which can cause the floor to lose its electrically conductive properties. No wax or varnish may be applied to the floor surface.

12. Parts of the anaesthetic apparatus must not be covered with adhesive tape (dielectric), non-antistatic rubber hoses must not be used for removing narcotic mixtures into the atmosphere, parts made of conductive material must not be replaced with parts made of dielectric material which have become unusable.

Note. All parts of anaesthetic machines shall be made of electrically conductive materials: bags, hoses, masks, breathing tubes and other parts of the breathing circuit, as well as gaskets, wheel covers shall be made of electrically conductive rubber, adapters shall be made of non-ferrous metal or electrically conductive plastic.

13. All parts of the anaesthetic machine shall be lubricated with a special grease. Endotracheal tubes and gauze swabs shall only be lubricated with pure glycerine.

14. Equipment belt drives shall not be placed within 0.25 metres of the floor in hazardous areas (high concentration of anaesthetic agent). Where belt drives are installed above the hazardous area, the belts shall be made of antistatic material with a resistivity of not more than 105 Ohm/m.

Lubricating belts with rosin, wax and other substances that increase surface resistance shall be prohibited.

15. Textile fabrics used in hazardous areas shall be impregnated with appropriate anti-static agents. Such fabrics shall be re-impregnated with antistatic agents after washing.

16. Any metallic and electrically conductive non-metallic parts of the equipment must be earthed to dissipate static electricity.

Non-metallic parts of the equipment shall be deemed electrostatically earthed when the resistance of any point on their external and internal surface to the earthing bar does not exceed 107Ohm. The rubber parts of the anaesthetic apparatus shall be dampened with water before the operation.

17. The following rules must be observed to prevent electrification of operating personnel:

1) operating room attendants' clothing shall be made of cotton fabric, closed and tight-fitting, not overly dry or overly starchy. It may be advisable to expose clothing and footwear to up to 80% humidity before use.

The patient shall wear cotton underwear. Clothing made of wool, silk as well as nylon, kapron and other synthetic materials, which are highly electrifying when moved, must not be worn in the operating room or other explosive areas and will lead to rapid accumulation of charges on the body;

2) The footwear of operating personnel shall be made of leather soles or conductive rubber soles, and special surgical overshoes made of cotton fabric shall be worn over these shoes. Shoes made of plastic, rubber or other dielectric soles must not be worn in the operating room;

3) the hair of operating room personnel shall be covered with a cap or headscarf made of cotton cloth.

18. Operating room personnel may not wear bracelets, rings, necklaces or other metal objects.

19. The hands of anaesthetic staff and the face of the patient shall be free of oil, ointment and lipstick.

20. The relative humidity in the operating room shall be monitored before and during the operation using a hygrometer or psychrometer. The air temperature shall be monitored. No flammable narcotic mixtures or anaesthetics may be used for anaesthesia if the relative humidity in the operating room is below 55%.

21. The safeguard against ignition and explosion shall involve the use of non-flammable anaesthetics (fluoroethane, chloroform, nitrous oxide, centran). Preventing explosions when working with flammable anaesthetics shall consist of eliminating the causes and sources of ignition.

22. Air samples shall be taken during surgery to monitor the ventilation system for the presence of drug vapours. The samples shall be taken from the area within the breathing zone of the surgical team members. The anaesthetic vapour content shall not exceed the prescribed maximum permissible levels.

23. The air in the operating room shall be tested for suspended solids and bacterial flora at least once a week to check the efficiency of the air purification filters. If bacterial flora appears in the air, no further operations shall be performed until the causes of the flora have been eliminated.
