I’ve noticed that many staff members are unsure about our emergency procedures, especially during high season when we can get overwhelmed. It’s critical to conduct regular safety drills — not just for our own peace of mind, but to ensure our guests feel secure too. When was the last time your team ran a full evacuation drill; let’s share best practices.
, I totally get what you mean — we did a full evacuation drill last summer after realizing half the staff didn’t know the exits. I recommend scheduling them monthly when things are quieter; it really helps. Have you tried mixing up the scenarios to keep it fresh?
This drives me nuts too! We tried to conduct a surprise drill last winter, but we only had half the staff show up. I think making it part of our regular staff meeting could help; that way, everyone gets the practice without feeling overwhelmed. Can’t believe we’re still having this conversation! @m_thom498.
Absolutely agree on the importance! We found that using real scenarios during drills keeps everyone engaged. @m_thom498, have you tried doing role-specific drills? It really helps.
