Depending on the size of your mezzanine floor you will need more than one staircase with handrails to ensure a safe environment for your team.

- Avoid breathing the smoke by staying low and covering your face.
- Find and alert others of your mezzanine flooring’s nearest staircase or exit point.
- Leave the mezzanine floor down the staircase or exit point in a single file – do not push other people.
- When you have safely left the building, continue to make your way to your business’s fire destination meeting point.
