Fire

On Discovering a Fire

  1. Raise the alarm by operating the nearest break glass call point.
  2. Dial 8888 on the nearest internal telephone stating the location of the fire.  (In Medical School & embedded units at QMC/City Hospital dial 2222)
  3. Attack the fire with nearest appropriate extinguisher if safe to do so and your escape route is clear.

On Hearing the Alarm

  1. Leave the building immediately (with the exception of the Medical School). Do not use a lift and do not stop to collect personal belongings.
    (In the Medical School you should remain where you are unless there are signs of smoke or fire or if you are instructed to evacuate by someone in authority.)>
  2. Close all doors and windows when leaving. 
  3. In buildings operating the fire token procedure, the first member of staff to pass a fire token should remove it and check the rooms to which it refers to confirm that the zone has been cleared.
  4. Report to your assembly point. 
  5. If you have collected a fire token hand it to the fire co-ordinator who will be wearing a high-visibility jacket.

Accident

In an emergency or in case of serious injury dial 8888 and ask for an ambulance. (Within embedded units at QMC & City dial 2222 for all medial emergencies). For less serious injuries that require medical attention the injured person should attend the Accident and Emergency Department at the Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham. Where minor injuries have been sustained a first aider should be summoned. Lists of local first aiders and contact details are displayed in the buildings.
