Fire Assembly 

The University emergency telephone number is 333 from university phones or call 01792 606010 from mobiles.

Using a mobile phone to phone 999 means that the University is not alerted, and these other calls are not made, therefore mobile use should be confined to those areas where an ordinary phone is not accessible.

A University Fire Action Sign is located by every manual alarm call point with fire safety guidance on the ground floor of each building, please familiarise yourself with the safety guidance and evacuation points before the start of your event. 

Fire Alarm Tests – If alarm sounds for more than 20 seconds please treat as an evacuation
