This paper reports the results of unannounced evacuation of two residential care premises providing accommodation for people with learning disabilities.
Awareness of disability has in relation to fire safety focussed generally on mobility. With the advent of performance-based fire safety engineering codes which require the characterization of buildings and their occupants it is necessary to obtain knowledge of the likely behaviours of people with learning difficulties in an emergency. The unannounced evacuations which were conducted at 11.30 pm were video recorded to enable observation and an analysis of the residents' behaviours.
The results and observations obtained raise many issues; including transferable training skills, predictability of evacuation behaviours, and the need in performance code evaluation to consider the characterization of buildings and their occupants as mutually inclusive processes.
本文报告了对为学习障碍者提供住宿的两个住宅护理场所进行的未事先通知的疏散结果。
在消防安全方面，对残疾的认知通常集中在行动能力上。随着基于性能的消防安全工程规范的出现，这些规范要求对建筑物及其 occupants 进行特征描述，因此有必要了解学习困难者在紧急情况下可能的行为。晚上 11:30 进行的未事先通知的疏散进行了录像，以便观察和分析居民的行为。
所获得的结果和观察结果提出了许多问题；包括可转移的培训技能、疏散行为的可预测性，以及在性能规范评估中需要将建筑物及其 occupants 的特征描述视为相互包容的过程。
