Open Week Jordanstown - fire safety

Fire Safety
The University places the highest importance on Fire Safety for its staff, students and visitors.

It is important that you are aware of the procedures that are in place to ensure your safety should a fire occur while you are on campus. Please ensure that pupils visiting the campus during Open Week are made aware of these safety arrangements.

The Fire Alarm is a continuous two-tone siren.

The University Fire Procedures are detailed on the General Fire Action notices which are located throughout all buildings adjacent to the fire alarm manual break-glass points.
If the fire alarm sounds you should:

  • Leave the building using the nearest available route by following the Emergency Exit Signs.
  • Go directly to the appropriate Assembly Point - there are three Assembly Points on the Jordanstown campus located in the 3 main car parks - follow the directional signs)
  • Do not re-enter the building until you are told by a uniformed member of Security Staff or the Emergency services that it is safe to do so.
  • Do not use lifts.
  • Do not stop to collect personal belongings.

Listen to and act on any instructions given by security staff.
