You
should familiarise yourself with emergency procedures for all areas in
which you work, noting the location of emergency exits, assembly points
and equipment. On hearing a fire alarm in a QM building, you should
immediately leave through the nearest emergency exit, unless redirected
by a Fire Marshal. Do not go to any other part of the building for any
reason. Proceed to the designated emergency assembly area and report to
the Fire Marshall. Do not leave the assembly area or re-enter the
building until instructed to do so. Failure to follow these procedures
may lead to disciplinary action.
Tampering with fire alarms or
fire-fighting equipment is a serious offence, and disciplinary action
may be taken against any student who does this.
In an emergency,
dial 3333 from any internal phone and clearly state the nature and
location of the problem, your name, and the number you are calling from
(if known). If there is no internal phone available, call 999 and follow
the normal procedure. You should ensure that corridors and doorways are
not obstructed and that fire fighting equipment is not removed from its
station.
First aid assistance for minor accidents can be obtained by dialling
3333 from an internal phone, or 020 7882 3333 from any other telephone.
