Summary/Abstract: To increase the level of safety and self-protective behaviour in institutions and facilities, it is not enough to be familiar with the procedures to be followed in special circumstances, but it is imperative to formulate basic fundamental presumptions aimed at minimizing the chance of compromising the safety of people, facilities, and institutions. With such presumptions in place, the person responsible can assess the situation and make decisions in special circumstances more easily. The first and fundamental presumption is the development of the Endangerment Assessment and the Facility Protection Plan. The Protection Plan sets down a series of actions required to protect persons, installations, objects, and devices in a facility. The Plan deals with the preventive procedures in the event of alert, finding of the explosives, or their explosion. The key part of the Plan sets down the procedures and actions necessary for the prevention. The Plan addresses all the potential and newly occurred situations and dangers, aiming to assist the recovery from the consequences and to restore everyday functioning of the employees. To increase the level of safety and self-protective behaviour of the employees, it is necessary to provide them with the training and motivation to recognize danger, respond to it and eliminate its consequences. The owners or users of a facility are required to draw up an Evacuation and Rescue Plan. The Evacuation and Rescue Plan lays down the organization, procedures, and measures to ensure a quick and effective way to evacuate and rescue people and property from the facility in danger, in accordance with the occurred event. The education on the performance of evacuation should be provided by the person responsible, the evacuation manager and their deputies. The person responsible should also report on the performed evacuation exercises and, potentially, real evacuation and rescue events.
