If you find something has been used or damaged, please report it to the Accommodation Manager or security Security immediately. To comply with legislation, full fire evacuation drills are carried out each term. IMPORTANT: Evacuation information University Locks is designed to ensure that should a fire occur within the building, it is contained within its place of origin for a sufficient period of time, allowing the buildings’ comprehensive active fire protection measures to take effect, thus ensuring that safe evacuation can be achieved. This means that you may not be required to immediately evacuate should the fire alarm activate in another part of the building which does not affect your location. Should you hear or see a reason for the fire alarm activation within your Accommodation or Common Parts, whether it is in your bedroom, kitchen/lounge or flat corridor you must evacuate, ensure the alarm is raised and make your way to the designated assembly point. Once arriving at your designated assembly point please report to a member of staff and pass any relevant information to them on the fire itself, or if anyone has failed to evacuate. Residents should only return to their accommodation on instruction from the Accommodation Services Team, Security or Fire and Rescue Service.
