Fire
A fire alarm (signal sounds) is installed in the building and the alarm goes directly to the emergency services.
If the fire alarm goes off, evacuate the house according to posted signs and evacuation plans. The house has fire doors that are set up with magnets. These close automatically in the event of an alarm to prevent the spread of fire and smoke gases.
SCARED - WARN - ALARM - EXTINGUISH
• save yourself and others around you, but don't take too many risks yourself
• warn others who may be in danger
• alert the Emergency Services by calling 112
• put out the fire if possible
Fire sectioned doors in corridors and towards escape routes that are not set up with magnets connected to the fire alarm must always be kept closed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke gases.
Escape routes/ Assembly point
See evacuation plans in corridors.
The stairwells form independent escape routes. Two stairwells 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 (See the respective evacuation plan). The staff reports there to the evacuation recipient and leaves their name and group affiliation or equivalent. No one may depart from the assembly point until this is done.
Sprinkler
The entire building is served by a water sprinkler system. The sprinkler is automatically started when the heat detector is triggered and can only be turned off by the responsible fire officer.
Flammable equipment
Installation of flammable equipment or setting up gas cylinders with flammable gases may only take place after contacting Akademiska Hus, which in turn has a duty to notify the fire service.
As a user, you are responsible for gas bottles being labeled and fire extinguishing equipment required for the business being procured.
Person and elevator alarms
It is possible to send an emergency signal in lifts, disabled toilets and rest rooms. When the push button is held down for more than 15 seconds, a signal sounds outside the door and an alarm is sent to Akademiska Hus. After regular working hours, alarms are sent to on-call staff or security guards. An alarm telephone with voice communication is also installed for lifts.
Alarms from elevators are reset by operating personnel.
