Emergency Evacuation Procedures

If you hear a continuous alarm bell or are requested, by a Building Warden, or a member of staff, to evacuate the building you must:

leave the building immediately by the nearest exit;
proceed, to the assembly area indicated in the map below linked to Which is my assembly area?
remain in the assembly area until you receive further instruction from the Building Warden or Security Staff
do not re-enter the building until advised it is safe to so by the Building Warden or Security Staff

When a building is evacuated, whether it is a trial or a real situation, it is of paramount importance that the debrief is completed to ensure any issues can be managed.
