Action to be Taken in the Event of Fire

If the alarm continues for more than 30 seconds, you must treat it as a genuine alarm.

Assembly Point: Car Park at rear of building

Refuge Points: 1st floor link corridor either side of lift
                    1st floor corridor near computer suite
                    Ground floor link corridor by access door to front (older) wing                          

In the event of fire, the Receptionist or person responsible in Reception will inform the fire service..

Students are asked to sign in on the attendance board when using the library, student common room or any free desk/computer space. Lecturers will be aware of students in attendance of their classes. If students leave the building, even for a short period, please ensure the attendance board is updated.

In the event of a fire, the safety of the individuals within the building is paramount. If you detect a fire before alarms are activated then your first duty is to raise the alarm. This can be done using the call points throughout the college or by raising a verbal alarm. If you are able to use fire extinguishers then the fire may be tackled accordingly. There are many extinguishers throughout the building and all have a content and use card above them in order that the correct extinguisher may be selected for the circumstance. If the fire is extinguished or the situation becomes unsafe, you should exit the building and report at the Assembly Point. On no account should property be placed above safety, and on hearing the fire alarm, all persons within the college should make their way outside to the Assembly Point via the closest exit. In the event of power failure, emergency lighting and luminous signage will assist those within the building to exit. Students with disabilities should not use the lift but should instead wait at one of the clearly marked Refuge Points until they can be safely evacuated from the building. Under no circumstances should anyone re-enter the building before the Fire-Marshal or fire services have approved an ‘all-clear’.
