Fire Safety Briefing

For use by Chairs, organisers etc. of meetings, conferences etc.

Also to be used by Tutors using rooms that their students may not be familiar with.

In the event of a fire the fire alarm will operate and we will immediately evacuate the building. Please exit the same way you entered but do not use the lifts. Should you find your exit blocked please follow the standard fire exit signs which will indicate the shortest route. Please close doors behind you and assist anyone having difficulty.

Is there anyone who believes they may have difficulty?

• If the answer is yes, ask if the have a PEEP (Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan). If they have they should not present a problem.
• If the answer is no, ask them to contact the Safety Office (Information Desk out of hours) for advice.

I will ensure that you all leave the room. No one should re-enter the building until instructed that it is safe to do so. The alarms often stop sounding before it is safe.
