Automatic fire alarm
Evacuation alarms in case of fire are automatically triggered via smoke detectors placed in corridors, stairwells and operating spaces. A triggered fire alarm, i.e. a signal to evacuate, is given via a bell and red flashing lights throughout the house.
The alarm goes directly to SOS Alarm and Akademiska Hus. Fires that cannot be extinguished with fire extinguishers must be alerted by calling 112. Limit the source of the fire by closing doors. To manually trigger the fire alarm, there are push buttons next to the escape routes.
Fire cells
The building is divided into a number of fire cells to prevent fire and smoke from spreading. Each fire cell is delimited by fire-rated walls and doors. In principle, all floors, stairwells, lifts, operating areas and waste rooms have their own fire cells. Doors in fire cell boundaries can be set in the open position for transport with magnetic suspension and closed manually with a push button labeled "fire door closer". When an evacuation alarm is triggered, the doors close automatically within the alarmed area.
Doors in fire cell boundaries must absolutely not be blocked or set up with wedges or the like!
Escape routes/Collection point
See evacuation plans in corridors.
At least two escape routes can be reached from each workplace. The escape routes, which are marked with green luminous escape signs, must never be blocked. The green signs are always lit and have a battery backup to illuminate even in the event of a power cut.
If the fire alarm is triggered, all personnel must leave the building, close all doors behind them and gather at the assembly point which is outside Widerströmska huset, Tomtebodavägen 18b. The staff reports there to the evacuation recipient. No one may depart from the assembly point until this is done.
