The evacuation response process is similar across all buildings in the main campus and is summarised below.

When the fire alarm sounds, everyone should stop work and leave the building immediately by the most direct route, ensuring that others are also evacuating and ensuring that doors are closed as they do so.

Once outside everyone should proceed to safe place well away from the building, keeping all roads and access ways clear for emergency responders. They must not re-enter the building until they Community Safety have confirmed it is safe to do so.

Community Safety staff respond to fire alarms to aid evacuation and investigate further if required.

Fire Wardens check that there is no one left in the building.

The local Incident Response Team are designated persons from the occupying department(s), who assist the Community Safety staff in managing the incident and provide information to the Fire Service.
