V. EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN (EAP) TRAINING
All haunted attraction staff will receive a copy and training on the contents of the Emergency Action Plan
(EAP). All staff will then be required to sign a statement confirming that they have reviewed the safety
handbook and training (i.e. portable fire extinguisher and fire drill) before they will be allowed to work in
the haunts. Prior to each performance, before admitting the public, each zone leader will circulate
through his/her attraction to ensure the staff is familiar with the means of egress from the particular
location in which they are working. The zone leader, will walk-through each attraction to inspect prior to
opening to the public.

Attractions Communication:
At all times when the haunted attractions are open to the public, the following staff
shall remain in contact via two-way radio:
Communication Team: All staff with a two way radio.
Security Staff: Archdale Police Officer with an assigned Kersey Valley radio
Emergency First Responders: EMT staff members
All two-way radio assigned staff must verify their radio’s functionality and battery quality prior to
reporting to their position.
Emergency instructions and announcements shall be made by word of mouth, radio,
and/or PA system.
Radio Action Calls:
“CODE RED” – A verbal call to cease all communication as an emergency is currently present and noticed.
“ALL CLEAR” – A verbal call releasing any emergency communication holds.
VII. MEDICAL EMERGENCY PLAN
In the event of a medical emergency:
Actors should break character and act immediately. Acting staff within the attraction discovering a
medical emergency shall immediately notify the closet communication team member who will in turn call
“Code Red” and request our EMT. Persons unconscious or seriously injured should NOT be removed or
repositioned. Injured or ill persons who are ambulatory should be assisted to the front door to wait for
outside assistance. If EMT calls for an ambulance a parking lot communication team member will greet
emergency vehicles at main entrance on Kersey Valley Rd to direct them to area effected by the
emergency.

Portable Fire Extinguishers:
The attractions shall be equipped with multi-purpose dry chemical fire extinguishers at all of the
attractions emergency exits. All staff should know where the closest two fire extinguishers are located.
Zone leader or area supervisors must ensure their staff know these locations.
Emergency Exits & Means of Egress:
The haunted attractions interior (walls, scenes, etc.) have been designed and constructed in such a way to
ensure each point along the public pathway through the attractions has an accessible route to the
primary and emergency exits. At no time shall access to the exits be obstructed by construction, props, or
stored materials. Pathways to the exits shall be unobstructed and free from tripping hazards at all time.
Emergency Exits:
All exits are equipped with glow-in-the-dark emergency exit signs, to provide visibility in the event of a
total power failure.
Combustible Materials:
Combustible waste materials shall not be allowed to accumulate in your area. During construction and
operation, trash shall be removed and placed in the dumpster daily. Combustible scenery, props, and
decorations shall be appropriately treated with fire retardant materials and maintained out of reach of
customers as they pass through the attractions. Combustibility shall be a consideration of the selection of
props and decorating materials. All wall partitions, wood, and fabric shall be treated with an appropriate
fire retardant. All foam sculptures shall be either treated or covered with a non-flammable seal coat.
Smoking:
Smoking shall be prohibited inside the attraction at all times. All staff and customers will use designated
smoking areas located at the ticket booth and be prohibited from
bringing smoking paraphernalia into the attraction.
SDS:
Material Safety Data Sheets will be kept in the Kersey Valley office.

In the Event of a Fire:
Actors shall break character and act immediately. Staff members discovering a fire or smoke shall
immediately evacuate all customers and staff. The member of the communication team for that area call
a “Code Red” on the two-way radio system to notify all of communication team members to take action.
Identify the source of the smoke or flame and deal with the problem accordingly. All communication
team members and staff will be trained to know the locations of all portable fire extinguishers and
emergency exits. A member of the parking lot communication team will greet emergency vehicles at
main entrance on Kersey Valley Rd to direct them to area effected of the emergency.
Zone leaders should turn off sound, props and special effects. Make a verbal announcement via the PA
system, two-way radio, and in person as instructed. Upon announcement or instruction of an evacuation,
all customers and (with the help of) acting staff shall evacuate the attraction via closest emergency exit
for their location. If the primary exit is blocked or unsafe, proceed to the nearest alternate exit location. If
smoke makes it difficult to breathe or see, get on your hands and knees and crawl to the nearest exit.
Once out of the attraction proceed to picnic shelter and seat at your assigned table and await other
instruction. Staff and customers shall not re-enter the attractions buildings until the “All Clear” is giving by
the Fire Department.
Accountability Procedure:
The zone leaders shall be responsible for the number of staff members assigned to work in their
attraction. It is the zone leader’s responsibility to know the appropriate head count of working staff for
their haunt each night including an accurate number if they are short staffed or if a staff person leaves
early. We need an accurate account of all staff members at all times.
P.A.S.S.
P.A.S.S. is an acronym for remembering the procedure for using a portable fire
extinguisher.
P=pull the pin and completely remove it from the extinguisher handle.
A=aim the extinguisher nozzle towards the base of the fire.
S=squeeze the handle to discharge extinguisher material.
S=sweep the spray of extinguisher material back and forth across the base of the flames.
X. NOTES
If someone asks you they need help, ask the following:
What is your emergency?
Follow the above for Fire or Medical. If they want out of the attraction, break character and walk them to
the pumpkin patch exit if you are in Spookywoods or Haunted Corn. If you are working in Thunder Frights
take them to the trams and inform the tram loader they want to exit the attraction.
