Hotel Safety
Knowledge is the first step to safety
In the case of an emergency or in the need of medical care
– Call 112
While settling into your room – find your bearings!
- Make a mental note of where the nearest emergency exit is.
- Make a mental note of where the fire extinguisher is and where the place to
assemble is.
If you discover a fire or smell smoke
- Alert the hotel’s reception or telephone the emergency number – 112
– from a safe place.
- Take the room key with you if you leave the room.
- If the fire is small and limited to a small area, use the fire extinguisher.
- If it is not possible to extinguish the fire, close the door of the room that is on fire.
If you hear the alarm
- Leave the room and take the room key with you.
If you cannot leave the room
- Telephone the reception or 112 and say that you still are in the room.
- Block ventilation grills and gaps under doors with wet towels.
- Move all inflammable materials away from the windows.
- Stand near a window so that you can be seen from outside and try to attract
attention.
- If the room starts to fill with smoke, open a window.
- In a smoke-filled room you will be able to see and breathe better if you crouch
or lie down on the floor.
