Fire
A fire alarm (signal sounds) is installed in the building and the alarm goes directly to the fire department.
If the fire alarm sounds, evacuate the building according to posted signs and evacuation plans. The building has fire doors that are fitted with magnets. These close automatically in the event of an alarm to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.
RESCUE - WARNING - ALARM - EXTINGUISH
• save yourself and others around you, but don't take too big risks yourself
• warn others who may be in danger
• alert the emergency services by calling 112
• extinguish the fire if possible
Fire-rated doors in corridors and on escape routes that are not equipped with magnets connected to the fire alarm must always be kept closed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.
Escape routes/ Assembly point
See evacuation plans in corridors.
The stairwells constitute independent escape routes. Two stairwells can be reached from each workplace. The escape routes, which are marked with green illuminated escape signs, must never be blocked. The green signs are always lit and have battery backup to illuminate even in the event of a power outage.
If the fire alarm is triggered, all personnel must leave the building, close all doors behind them and gather at the assembly point (see the respective evacuation plan). The personnel must report there to the evacuation recipient and leave their name and group affiliation or equivalent. No one may depart from the assembly point until this has been done.
Sprinkler
The entire building is served by a water sprinkler system. The sprinkler is started automatically when the heat detector is triggered and can only be turned off by the responsible fire officer.
Flammable equipment
Installation of flammable equipment or placement of gas cylinders with flammable gases may only take place after contacting Akademiska Hus, which in turn is required to notify the fire department.
As a user, you are responsible for ensuring that gas cylinders are labeled and that fire extinguishing equipment required for the operation is procured.
Personal and elevator alarms
The possibility of sending an emergency signal is available in elevators and this alarm goes to the academic building staff. Disabled toilets and rest rooms also have an emergency signal and if the push button is held down for more than 15 seconds, a signal sounds outside the door and an alarm goes to the business. After regular working hours, the alarm goes to the on-call staff or security guard. For elevators, there is also an emergency telephone with voice communication installed.
