Which step is NOT part of an emergency procedure?

Conducting a fire risks assessment is not typically considered an immediate step in an emergency procedure. Instead, it is generally a proactive measure taken before an incident occurs to evaluate potential hazards and implement safety protocols. In the context of an emergency, the focus is on responding to the situation effectively and promptly.

The other steps listed—sounding the alarm, notifying the fire department, and isolating and shutting down equipment—are critical immediate actions that need to be taken when a fire or emergency situation arises. Sounding the alarm alerts everyone in the vicinity, notifying the fire department ensures that professional help is on the way, and isolating equipment helps prevent further hazards and contain the situation. These actions are part of the response strategy designed to protect lives and minimize damage during an emergency.
