What To Do When Faced With An Emergency Situation

If you become aware of an emergency situation, you should immediately phone 999 if necessary and then inform Security Control (4444), saying

(a) where you are speaking from, your name and telephone number;

(b) the nature and exact location of the incident;

(c) how you have come to know about the emergency;

(d) information re any casualties, if known; and

(e) any other relevant information

 

Security Staff will assume immediate responsibility for the initial response to the situation, liaising with senior university staff and the emergency services.

On their arrival, the emergency services (Police, Fire and Ambulance) will take control of the situation. The University will provide support services and facilities as required.

Our Security Staff have a vital role in supervising the initial response to an emergency situation.

The University has an Emergency planning and Incident Control Group who will assume responsibility for coordinating the University's management of an emergency situation
