Emergency Procedure

If a disabled user is situated on Level W.1 of the building when the fire alarm sounds, he/she can leave via the Main entrance / exit of the Physics Department at that level. If they are situated on any other level of the building they will need assistance as the lift cannot be used. They will be conducted to the nearest entrance to a stairway on that floor by a fire marshal. This is termed a refuge. The fire marshal will then ensure that the door to that staircase is closed when all other occupants have left. These fire doors will halt the smoke and flames from entering the refuge for a period of time. The marshal will leave the building and inform the evacuation officer immediately that a disabled person requires assistance and give exact details of their location.
