77 Ill. Adm. Code 380.570
Fire Safety and Disaster Preparedness
Section 380.570Â Fire Safety and Disaster Preparedness
a)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â For
the purpose of this Section only, "disaster" means an occurrence, as
a result of a natural force or mechanical failure such as water, wind or fire,
or a lack of essential resources such as electrical power, that poses a threat
to the safety and welfare of consumers, personnel and others present in the
facility.
b)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Each
facility shall have policies covering disaster preparedness for staff,
consumers, and others to follow. The policy shall include, but not be limited
to, the following:
1)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Proper
instruction in, and training on, the use of fire extinguishers for all
personnel employed on the premises;
2)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â A
diagram of the evacuation route, which shall be posted and made familiar to all
personnel employed on the premises;
3)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â A
written plan for moving consumers to safe locations within the facility in the
event of a tornado warning or severe thunderstorm warning; and
4)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â An
established means of facility notification when the National Weather Service
issues a tornado or severe thunderstorm warning that covers the area in which
the facility is located. The notification mechanism shall be other than
commercial radio or television. Approved notification measures include being
within range of local tornado warning sirens, maintaining an operable National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weather radio in the facility, or
arrangements with local public safety agencies (police, fire, emergency
management agency) to be notified if a warning is issued.
