Emergency procedures
- An Emergency Control Organisation (ECO) is made up of staff members from each of the campus buildings, who are trained to assist in the smooth and safe response in the event of an emergency.
- Staff members who perform this role are called Wardens. Wardens are required to undergo emergency training every year, covering topics such as emergency evacuations, fire extinguisher operation, and bomb threat procedures. The occupants of the building are responsible for ensuring that all procedures are followed and practised regularly.
- Staff must comply with the directions of wardens during an emergency, or an emergency drill.
The University has an Emergency Management Plan that outlines how Emergencies are managed generally across the University. Each building also has a Building Fire and Emergency Plan relevant to that building and general procedures for different emergencies are outlined below.
