FIRE DRILL
WORKING ON YOUR BOAT
Please remember when working
on your boat to pick up any
nails, screws, or anything
dropped on the car park and put
it in the skip .
Waste oil goes in the waste oil
tank - see a member of staff for
the key. Please put paint tins,
oil filters and oily rags in the
appropriate bins.
Tingdene Marina’s first priority in the event
of a fire is your
safety. To ensure
this, we have fire
drills so that all
the staff are
trained in the
event of a real
fire.
When you are on site and you hear the fire
alarm you must immediately assemble at
the muster point on the front car park.
Staff members will check all the pontoons
and when we are sure that everyone is accounted for you can then return safely to
your boat.
Thank you
