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.
