Detailed emergency plans must be submitted for authorised approval, kept up to date and available to safety officers for buildings where employees on any one shift exceed 50 (unless all occupy the ground floor) or unusual fire or explosion hazards exist. Where plans are required, chief and deputy chief wardens and wardens and deputies for each occupied floor must be appointed, instructed and trained. Annual and plan revision meetings, building inspections and emergency drills are mandatory. Carbon tetrachloride extinguishers are forbiddent. Replaced by CIS 86-1483.
