Fire Safety

GENERAL ACTION IN THE EVENT OF FIRE

Any member of staff or student discovering a fire should set off the alarm at the nearest available fire alarm point and should immediately call the telephone operator (ext 2222) (or 0141 331 3000 if using a landline or mobile phone) giving details of the location of the fire. Such information to include, where possible, floor and room numbers.

When the alarm sounds, staff and students should evacuate the building along the nearest fire escape route as quickly as possible, without stopping to take equipment or possessions. Lifts must not be used. Since each building has a separate fire alarm, only the building in which the alarm is sounding will be evacuated. Evacuation of other buildings will be authorised, if necessary, by the Fire Convenor.

All occupants should proceed to the designated Fire Assembly Point. Assembly points are indicated on Fire Action Notices throughout the building.

Do not re-enter the building until advised to do so by the Fire Convenor.
