Emergency procedures    

In an emergency situation:

Know your wardens

Title	Helmet
Chief Warden	White
Warden	Red
You should also know where to find the Library First Aiders

Public Address system

Alert tone

When you hear the Alert tone (a series of long beeps), please collect your belongings, prepare to evacuate, and wait for further instructions.

Evacuation tone

The Evacuation tone follows the Alert tone. A recorded message will follow announcing that the evacuation should proceed under the direction of the wardens. The Evacuation tone will then resume sounding.
Leave the Library by the nearest exit, as directed by the wardens.

After hours

The system will immediately go into evacuation mode. Leave the building by the nearest exit, as directed by the wardens.

Users with disabilities

Users whose disability may make it difficult to use the emergency exits should notify the librarian at the Information desk of their presence in the building, and of their likely movements within the Library. This will aid in your speedy evacuation in an emergency, and is especially important in the evening and at weekends when fewer people are in the Library.

Reporting an emergency

If you see or hear a potential hazard please report the nature and location of the problem immediately to the Information desk on Level 3.
