Fire alarm

In case of a fire we ask that you leave the building by the nearest exit point, do not stop to collect any personal belongings and go to the nearest designated assembly point supported by your own fire marshal and fire warden designated teams. You will be responsible for ensuring your staff have been evacuated.

If you have accidentally set the fire alarm off, still evacuate the building as normal, but please contact security on the emergency number 01908 653333.

Fire alarm testing is carried out on Thursdays, please do not evacuate unless during testing if the alarm continues for​ more than a couple of minutes then please follow the normal evacuation procedure.

Defibrillators

Defibrillators will remain in place, please inform Liaison Line if you use a defibrillator.
