Fire and emergency procedures
Fire and emergency procedures
If the fire alarm goes off:
- Leave the building as quickly as possible via the nearest exit.
- Lifts must not be used.
- If you are dependent on the use of a lift you should go to the nearest enclosed staircase.
- Please make University Security aware that you are in an enclosed stair case and need assistance leaving the building. The Evac-chair (a specially designed wheelchair to transport disabled persons downstairs) will then be deployed should there be an indication of a genuine fire.
- If you cannot hear alarms there are pagers at the Library Reception Desk which you can borrow. These will vibrate if the fire alarms sound.
