Emergency Procedures

There is a legal duty on the university to ensure Emergency procedures are in operation tested and reviewed. This ensures that persons within the university confines, i.e., Staff, students, contractors and visitors, are not exposed to any unnecessary danger should an emergency occur.

Emergency situations which may cause the University Emergency Response Plan to be implemented may include:

1. Fire

2. Emergency evacuation due to: Gas leaks, Chemical spills, Biological and Radioactive incidents, Bomb alerts

3. Serious accidents and injury

4. Natural disaster (extreme weather/flooding)

5. Off-site incidents

6. Power failure
