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.
