Purpose: This paper presents the results of a computer simulation of the evacuation of employees from a manufacturing and service building. Pathfinder specialist software was used to carry out the simulation. As part of the research described in the article, a digital model of the analysed building was created, taking into account its architectural layout, the number and distribution of employees and the available evacuation routes. A number of simulations were carried out for different hazard scenarios and variants of space organisation and occupant behaviour. Based on the results, evacuation times were determined and possible bottlenecks and elements that need to be optimised in order to improve employee safety during emergencies were identified. Design/methodology/approach: The main objective of the article was to examine the evacuation times of employees from the building. The article uses the results of computer simulations and trial evacuations of employees from the building. Findings: The results obtained made it possible to check the time differences between the actual evacuation and the results of the computer simulation of the evacuation. In addition, the assumption of different scenarios in the computer simulation made it possible to determine the evacuation times when additional obstacles to its implementation occurred. Practical implications: The results obtained made it possible to verify the effectiveness of evacuation for various emergency scenarios occurring in the analysed company. Originality/value: The article is aimed at companies that, by using computer simulation for employee evacuation, can assume various evacuation scenarios and thus apply procedures to ensure the safety of employees in the event of an emergency.
