Welcome Talk: Fire Safety and Security

Learn how to stay safe on campus, and prevent fires and false alarm activations in buildings.

In our community we look out for each other. Learning how to stay safe while you study at Essex will help you and your colleagues create a happy and supportive community .

The session will make you aware of potential fire causes and risks.  You will be given information on precautions you can take to reduce the risks and the University's procedures for emergency evacuation. This information will also be useful to recognise the potential for a fire at home.

Our Fire Officer will also teach you how to evacuate buildings safely in the event of a fire alarm.
