Safety Policies

Critical Incident

CTC is committed to preventing critical incidents where possible, preparing for them carefully, and responding to them effectively, compassionately and with the safety and welfare of all concerned being of priority. The College endeavours to minimise trauma and distress to students and staff, and damage to property, and to ensure the return of the site to normal operations as soon as possible.

Emergency Management

Emergency Management Procedures are discussed at the beginning of the semester. Throughout the College, you will see emergency posters as follows:

  • list of emergency management (EM) personnel, including fire wardens and first aid officers;
  • the emergency plan for where you currently are in the building; and
  • standard fire orders.

In a case of an emergency, follow the directions given by EM personnel, who will be wearing fluorescent vests and caps. See Campus Maps for assembly areas.

  • In the event of an emergency or alarm activation, the lecturer will facilitate the safe and efficient evacuation of all students.
  • The ‘alert’ signal – “beep……beep” indicates that there could be an emergency in the building; at this stage all should remain alert and calm.
  • On hearing the ‘evacuation signal’ – ‘WHOOP……. WHOOP……. WHOOP’
    • remain calm
    • take your belongings
    • proceed to the building exits
    • assemble at the building evacuation assembly areas
  • Do not re-enter the building unless instructed to do so by the Chief Warden.
